@AthleticsWeekly Once again he talks the talk. Unless he is paced to last 100 it probably will not happen, he lacks the ability to dictate from the front. My guess more self publicity

Josh Kerr has eyes on 3:43.13 and beyond 👀 The world 1500m and double indoor 3000m champion states he is targeting Hicham El Guerrouj's 27-year-old world mile record at the London Diamond League (July 18) ⚡️ Labelled Project 222, Kerr will be using customised spikes from Brooks and plans to wear an aerodynamic speed suit 🏃 He is the British record-holder in the mile with 3:45.34 – set in Eugene two years ago 🇬🇧

@ChrisChavez Let’s see if he produces.

"I'm not going to be shy about my goals. I'm not afraid to fail." Introducing Project 222 – Kerr and Brooks' plan for him to run a 3:42 mile and break the world record at the London Diamond League in July. citiusmag.com/articles/proje…

@keelyhodgkinson Maybe someone should enlighten Keely to the fact that England won their only World Cup in 66 with 3 players from West Ham

The GB team will bring back more medals to that stadium than west ham have seen in their entire history 🫢🫶🏼😂

@kab604 @stevemagness It is not maybe so effective but for most HR and RPE are acceptable. The principles work the same

@stevemagness Thanks for the suggestion, looks like something I want! And sorry for this perhaps dumb question, but do you think it's valuable without measuring lactate levels? Find that a bit tricky with mostly during (ultra) trail running and almost never running flats/never track.

Runners: Go get this book. I don't say this lightly. But Marius Bakken has released a game changer of a book on training. It's fantastic. A book I wish I had decades ago. It just came out. Grab your copy today: amzn.to/4dFV1AU

@stevemagness If she was from certain nations would we be questioning the validity

800m World champ Keely Hodgkinson had the fastest 4x400 leg in the final. Split 50.10 by herself trying to chase down others, only an hour after winning the 800 in 1:55.3 Impressive double!

@pjvazel Let’s not be silly! She had people to run down

Women’s 4x400m splits (tbc) USA : 51.47 – 50.83 – 52.02 – 51.49 NED : 51.16 – 51.76 – 51.61 – 51.47 ESP : 51.72 – 51.72 – 51.24 – 51.36 POL : 51.25 – 51.60 – 51.79 – 51.53 GBR : 53.74 – 51.29 – 52.96 – 50.10 SVK : 54.10 – 53.80 – 53.59 – 51.28 Keely could have won 400m too?

@ChrisChavez Really! Not epic by any standard

Epic finish of the men’s 3000m at the World Indoor Championships as Josh Kerr holds off Cole Hocker and hits the “Night Night” celebration in front of him.

@jgault13 It left me yawning Hocker tactically awful, Nuguse seems to have had his day, Jakob not there!

Can we, as distance fans, appreciate how lucky we are right now? Between Kerr, Hocker, Ingebrigtsen et. al, we're blessed with super-talented athletes and some colorful personalities. Every global final is a banger, with so much to break down tactically. Fun time in the sport.

@Cathal_Dennehy Very true he ran scared

Cole Hocker seriously needs to study race tactics, which is a strange to say about a reigning Olympic and world champion.

@IanTnf Totally agree

Oh no. BBC has a studio for the evening sessions. 😩I like Keely and Jezza but I don't need half hour build ups to each race with endless waffle and replays and hind legs falling off donkeys while THERE IS STUFF HAPPENING IN THE ARENA!

@stevemagness @coachgambetta But Jakob, Erling trained like pros from a very young age and went against the the Norwegian protocol, yet they are role models

The key to Norway's sporting success?
 "It takes everything we do in the US and does the opposite. We treat child athletes like budding professionals, prodigies train like the pros they look up to. In Norway, they let kids be kids. We don't keep score before age 12."

@scottroots Says it all about the state of road running.

Just when the world couldn’t get more mental, you can now pay £45 for a 5k that the next day will have parkrun there for free. (Without laser tunnels, djs and medals though)

@letsrundotcom Not really the race without Jakob

Did you enjoy the Paris Olympic 1500m? Well the podium is back together... but this time it’s over 3000m. 🍿 Cole Hocker 🥇 Josh Kerr 🥈 Yared Nuguse 🥉 Add in Geordie Beamish and this is the race of the meet at World Indoors. Who you got? Full breakdown in next post: 👇

@jgault13 The great talker

Understandable why Kerr would focus on a home Commonwealth Games in Scotland over Euros this year. But it is pretty wild that Josh Kerr, one of GB's greatest ever milers, could go his entire senior career without running at a European indoor or outdoor championships.

@madel_suravilla @RafaelNadal I think Borg was better

Rafa Nadal is widely regarded as the toughest player on clay in tennis history. His incredible speed, heavy topspin & unmatched mental fortitude & fighting spirit w/ a never say die attitude on court make him almost unbeatable on this surface. @RafaelNadal🐐👑🥇 #valtende 🎥 ig

@LydiardsWay Sadly many just don’t understand the principles of Lydiard. Maybe not surprising because they want shortcuts

AL didn't stumble on the idea of 100 miles a week. He also recognised it could me more or less. The key was time and principles.

@reallyoptimized And you live where?

Let me explain California to you. Everyone shares pictures like this - look how beautiful, worth the taxes! Look closer. Nobody on the beach. You know why? Because the beach sucks. Pretty in a picture. But the reality is that it's windy, wavy, cold, dark, rocky and just shit. And that's up and down the coast - and it's most of the pictures you see shared. Pretty landscape... But treacherous conditions. And that's basically California in a nutshell. Good for a quick visit because it's pretty - but not actually better than Florida.

@reallyoptimized Or there are so many great beaches that they are just not overcrowded. My experience, beautiful coat

@Aleeexanderrrrr Total disrespect from some clown who hides behind a pseudonym

“I get tired of playing roger federer every round” No, you’re just struggling against journeyman clowns, if you were actually playing RF you’d get breadsticked 👍

@glblathletichub Why!

Can we eliminate the use of inches & feet for field event measurements, and also the concept of a 55m indoor race?
