EPISODE SUMMARY
Josh Kerr shattered Hicham El Guerrouj's 27-year-old mile world record in London, running 3:42.66, while training partner Brandon Miller stunned the field with a career-best 1:42.19 in the 800m. Wejo, Rjo and Jonathan debate whether Kerr's mark is more believable than the EPO-era record it replaced, whether he should chase the 1,500m world record this year, and how his rivalry with Jakob Ingebrigtsen now stacks up. Coach Danny Mackey joinsus at 73:31 to recount race day, the chaotic pacing situation, and what comes next for both athletes.
Elsewhere: the NCAA scraps altitude and flat-track conversions in a move the hosts call one of the dumbest rule changes in years, Niels Laros ends his season with an Achilles injury, and USATF Outdoors kicks off in New York with several top milers sitting out.
