The 2023 1500M Gold Medalist🥇 showcased his versatility in San Diego this morning at the Holiday Half, improving his time of 63:44 from last year. In possibly his last race of the year, Kerr continues to prove why he should be a heavy favorite heading into the Olympic year, after also capturing the win at the 5th Avenue Mile back in September. As the 2024 Millrose games approach, fans should have their popcorn🍿 ready as Kerr has already stated he is aiming for the Indoor 2-mile World Record, and if we can take anything way from this half marathon it’s that Josh Kerr is FIT!
Kerr’s splits were as follows:
6 mile: 30:01 @ 4:46/mile
10 mile: 44:16 @ 4:32/mile
Finishing time 13.1 mile: 61:51 @ 4:43/mile
Will Josh Kerr break the 2 mile record, and if so, by how much⁉️ Is he the favorite coming into the Olympic year? And how do you think Ingebrigtsen will respond to the statements and times being put up by Kerr?
