Love your whole approach as a team. Josh, you are a stud, bro! Keep it up!

I would advise Josh to take off his sunglasses post racing or not even wear them at all. He has amazing eyes and to cover especially when he is making a name for himself and becoming more visible as one of the top middle distance runners in the world, he needs to bank on his marketability and recognition. I wouldn't have known who he is without his sunglasses.

This Josh Kerr hype is off the charts - he promptly got outkicked by Nuguse in his next Diamond League 1500 following Budapest, despite having pacers in the Zurich race to help him break GB’s natl record, and was suddenly “tired” (i.e., he “couldn’t” run in the Pre Classic in Eugene) after Ingebrigtsen set another WR in Brussels (this time in the 2000m) - probably a smart move by Kerr, though, since Ingebrigtsen just missed a 3rd WR in 2023 in the mile and followed that up with a ER in the 3000m the next day - until Kerr changes his sit & kick style (detested by knowledgeable track fans) to the approach run by Prefontaine in the ‘70s and Ingebrigtsen & Nuguse now…let’s just say Ingebrigtsen’s 2023 will never be forgotten and may never be replicated, while Kerr’s one win v. Ingebrigtsen was just another sit & kick yawner
