This whole thing is stupid, Jakob has 3 golds in the 5,000 including an Olympic gold and multiple European Championships and a gold in the Olympic 1500. Last time I checked Kerr has won just one global race. And he's European and no one told him not to race the European championships. So I don't give two f*cks what he says until he starts winning more gold medals. Jakob has 4 Global Gold medals, Kerr has one, enough said! And the interviewers are lap dogs who never push him on his comments and why he only has one gold so far!

Kerr did not qualify for the 2018 EC. He had every oppurtunity to compete in both the 2022 and 2024 EC, but he did not. (2020 was cancelled due to Covid). Kerr could've also competed at the indoor EC in 2019, 2021 and 2023. Jakob competed in all these 6, and in the 1500m he has won a total of 5 golds and 1 silver (Lewandowski won in the 2019 indoor EC). I wonder if Kerr will ever compete at a European Championships.

The statistics are in Jakob's favor. He's a more accomplished 1500m runner (Don't even get me started about the 5000m), and he is 3 years younger than Kerr. Kerr should be far ahead of him now. Hocker might be a Oregon Duck, but Kerr is just a duck. He keeps ducking Jakob all the time. If everyone raced as rarely as Kerr did, it would be really bad for the sport. The European Championships (outdoor and indoor) would be a great arena for them to face off. Jakob has done 6 ECs, Kerr has done 0.

Nobody cares about the 3k or 2k distance

[@blainejohnson9954]

​@@abone2pickpeople only care about outdoor track, both of those records (as well as Jakob 2 mile) were outdoor, not to mention that they stood unrivaled for 20+ years by some of the greatest of all time. The 2k isn't known but it shows that he's ahead of Kerr simply because its comparable to the mile and 1500 world record. The 3k record was the most impressive track world record of the decade in my opinion, because he solo smashed what many considered an unbreakable world record by over 3 seconds with no competition in the last 800m, even world record holders and Olympic and world medalists couldn't hang with that, so yes, his 3k is 10x more impressive than the indoor two mile, that is RARELY raced so it has little relevance besides the athletes current fitness level. And like Jakob said, he'd've won that race blindfolded. What next, nobody cares about whatever world record Jakob happens to break next? Say the 5k or the mile/1500? Because Jakob still has 2 years left in his 24-26 y/o physical prime for the 1500-5000, and Kerr is on his way out of that age and moving more into Jake Wightman territory of athlete (really really really good and hard to beat but would be very surprised if he climbs on top of the podium)

I wonder if Kerr will ever show up to an European Championships (I would like to see him run in one, so I would be nice to be proven wrong), and I wonder if that will ever happen: Berlin 2018: Kerr wasn't in the top 3 in Britain, so he didn't qualify 2020: Cancelled due to Covid Munich 2022: Had the chance to compete, and get some redemption from his 5th place in Eugene and 12th place in Birmingha, (Commonwealth games), but chose not to. Wightman (Gold medalist from Eugene) chose to compete at that EC, but in the 800m (got the silver), Katir (bronze in Eugene) chose to compete in Munich, but in the 5000m (he got the silver). Garcia (4th in Eugene) chose to compete in Munich, and got the bronze. Kerr was the only guy in the top 5 from Eugene 2022 who dodged the EC in Munich later that year. Birmingham 2026: Let's see if he shows up Kerr has also never showed up in the indoor EC. If Jakob sucks in championships finals/unpaced races (Kerr's words, not mine), then facing off with Jakob in the EC shouldn't be scary or a big deal to Kerr. I don't get his logic. (The one European championships Kerr actually has attened is the European Junior Championships in 2015 where he won gold.)

[@Runningfree-ju9cy]

The 1500M is Ingebrigsten’s weakest middle distance event (other than the 800M which he almost never races). He knows that. Any dummy can work that out. He only does the 1500M as it is easily the most prestigious track distance race, and he’s extremely good at the distance, albeit vulnerable. He just doesn’t have the raw, natural speed that the great 1500M runners since 1980 have possessed - Coe, Cram, Morcelli, El Guerrouj, Ngeny probably head that list, but there are slightly lesser others such as Cacho. These superior athletes were capable of running 50 seconds for the last 400M (and some did - Morceli, Cacho) off even a reasonably solid pace. I believe Ingebrigsten would struggle to break 52 seconds. His best times for the 100M, 200M and 400M sprints would probably be quite mediocre. His best listed 800M time is 1:46.44 (2020); 400M 51.03 (2017). Coe’s best 800M best time was 1:41.73, Cram 1:42.88. NOW - move up to 3000M and further to 5000M - and Ingebrigsten, at his best, or near best, is virtually invincible. If the pace is slow he’ll just run the last mile in under 3:50 (probably well under). If the pace is very fast he’ll just sit behind the leader(s) and crush them over the last 400M to 600M with his superior strength/endurance. For God’s sake he ran a 7:17.55 3000M world record. The 5000M world record is in great danger of being blown apart once he very slightly tweaks his training towards more sustained endurance. On his 3000M best time I wouldn’t bet against him breaking 12:30.00 for 5000M at some point in time. Moving further up to 10000M with more tiny tweaks to his training regime over time - and sub 26:00.00 is definitely on the cards, particularly with the continued technological improvements to racing spikes. Before that I believe he’s got the ability to break El Guerrouj’s mile world record (3:43.13). El Guerrouj’s 1500M world record (3:26.00) - which is equivalent to a 3:42.50 mile - is his biggest test, but given everything perfect (or close to) you never know.

i love josh kerr and ingebrigsten for keeping the beef alive and making distance running so electric and intrigueing so many non distance running fans are coming around just because of it and are intrested in distancer running and the lore behind the athletes which is amazing this type of rivalry keeps up and distance running and is going to be right up there next to sprinting in both interest and money sponserships

[@nickatnite16]

Disaster?? Man,this keeps the sport entertaining,love to see it !

[@evanshaw17]

Kerr is a disgusting petty person who disgraces the sport. As a former college miler on a gravel track running a 4:09 I know how difficult this distance is. Kerr is awful. Horrible

[@nickatnite16]

[@rachelatwood9555]

I love Josh's playful cheekiness (so very Scottish of him), but there can absolutely be too much of a good thing. Pace your mouth a little, Big Guy!

[@radams_e]

7:31 Must be a typo because Arop’s 1500 PB is 3:38.36, though I’m sure he could probably shave a couple seconds off.

[@paulypauly2062]

720,P???

[@denniscordova8454]

Does anyone remember that one dude who was on zoom with a bunch of hs boys who were all trying to break 4 during covid and he was talking trash on everybody and wnded up running like 4:20?

[@blainejohnson9954]

5:10 Kerr's 2 miles isn't a official world record (like the road 15k) since its such a insignificant and rarely run race, its a worlds best, which isn't the same. If the event was contested throught the world, where African and Eurpoeans were racing it, surely the record wpuld be faster, because there would be faster athletes actually contending the event. Had it had a 3k conversion of under the real world record at the 3k distance, thatd be a different story. Jakob on the other hand has 4 and pretty much all the short distance European records

[@malehumanperson7901]

Ingebrigtsen dominating a relatively poor European Championship field is irrelevant to the fact Kerr was talking about the global stage. It's obvious the 8 is outside of Jakob's range and Kerr's comments were perfectly reasonable. In fact, GST might have missed a trick by just having an 800 group and a 15/3k group.

[@jackbrajcich]

Indoor 2-mile record does not compare to anything outdoors. How does Kerr compare to Jakob in XC?

[@strawdog336]

I'm wondering if they have agreed to take shots at each other to drive / maintain interest in their careers and races.

[@V-Rides]

I guess its the Usain Bolt and (whoever else was at the top based on season, Tyson, Gatlin, Blake, Ryan Bailey, so many) type of vibe. I know back in 2009, 2010s that really fueled a good vibe in the sport - so this is good. Exciting to see this in the middle distances!

[@WStone442]

Love that Kerr was clowning Jakob that he would have a hard time in the 800 when he would never race Jakob in the 5000 because it wouldn't even be close.

[@craigwalters]

Jakob occupies way too much space in Josh's head. I think Josh is completely obsessed with chasing Jakob

[@StefanMagMathe]

To Jakobs credit: he does not count his own indoor record! So I think he is consistent.

[@bobbydiner0]

Jakob doesn’t have the top speed like Cole Hocker for example, so depending on how a non paced 1500m race pans out, Jakob might be out kicked in the end. However, Kerr, with only one world championship gold, claiming Jakob, with two Olympic, two world championship and six European championship gold medals, doesn’t winning paced races, is kind of ridiculous.

[@faulypi]

This is great. It will continue to bring focus to the event.

[@percyfree9831]

Thanks for all th highlights

[@soyanchd5439]

No one even knew the indoor two miles was a thing. No one is running it or train for the 2 miles. So Kerr record is cool, but it would get obliterated if it was a commonly runned distance

[@lbsBROS]

The only way to get headlines! Kerr just can't get Jacob out of his mouth!

[@stuarthys9879]

Josh was right, Jacob is not a 800 runner. I think his best distance is the 5k. I hope he gets the 1500 and mile WR, but I’m pretty sure he will break the 5k and maybe also the 10k

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

Of the top guys, Hobbs is the only 1:43 guy. He could be The One to take down the 1500 record. Or maybe Laros.

[@ABPerlov]

Hate the click bait and also your interpretation is not completely correct. Kerr is referencing non-paced races in the 1500m is Ingebrigtsen's weakness, he wouldn't care about the 5000m races. The 2024 European Championship 1500m, although not paced, it was a weak field. Ingebrigtsen would have won either from the front or the back. Ingebrigtsen is a great but can be found wanting in a slow or tactical 1500m race from time to time. But end of the day he has more golds and WRs than Kerr.

[@kimaboe]

What are you talking about? Jakob wants a fast 1500m, so he doesn't lose the sprint finish. That's why he does better with a pacer, rather than a tactical race.

[@ABPerlov]

@@kimaboe I said non-paced races are Ingebrigtsen's weakness. A paced raced with obviously a pacer is to his advantage.

[@pedalingparson]

I started running in 1976 and have always appreciated the class and civility of distance runners towards one another at the world class level. Now, it seems like these two knuckleheads are intent on reducing the sport to the pugalistic level of boxing or WWE. My message to both of them is simple: GROW UP!

[@blainejohnson9954]

Josh is just pissed Jakob doesn't need a second income from another sponsor because Jakob is making big $$ from Nike and winning a LOT of diamond League (more medals on the global stage, golds specifically) not to mention all those European champion races Kerr never bothers to show up for, or cross country, which actually would be hilarious watching Kerr roll home in 30th place. He needs to ditch brooks and get himself a real sponsor

[@JorgeSanchez-bs4pe]

Kerr chasing the cash and Jakob chasing history

[@jamescodyjones]

Kerr is talking about the 1500 and Jakob doesn't care about indoor. They didn't forget anything, that is just their perspective.

[@coachRoome]

Grand Slam Track is a nonsense. It’s totally uncommon now for someone to double up 800/1500. 400/800 and 1500/3000 or 5000 would make sp much more sense. Why do the sprinters get to double both ways (100-200 or 200-400) but milers are stuck going down to a 2-lap sprint? Who really wants to see Arop race a bunch of 1500m runners? Pointless.

[@gumpster6]

All Jakob needs to do is run the indoor 2 mile and take Josh's only world record.

[@skiziskin]

Trash talk is a good thing.

[@EntertainingRunner-vd3bn]

Josh Kerr the Dillon Brooks of athletics.😂 He out here making Jakob not look Narcissistic by comparison.

[@mattmitchel1877]

Josh is really filling out that beard you love to see it.

[@wss33]

Kerr really is giving Lyles a run for his money as the least likeable athlete.

[@cicirunner]

Jakob ran in Paris coming back from injury

[@shyers__]

I mean fair enough Jakob forgot about the indoor two mile world record... I don't think I need to say anything else.

[@nelfarios]

Jakob living rent free in Kerr's head. This is a one way "rivalry".

[@dimitardimitroff9763]

It's pretty clear Josh Kerr is jealous of Jakob, which is absurd given that Kerr has won major titles too and is really good.

[@andrewmitchell5807]

When is the last time Josh Kerr won a race with Jakob? Not just beating Jakob but actually winning the race. He yaps his mouth off just to keep his aging name in the loop while Jakob actually shows that he deserves the attention.

[@tj-parsheep2087]

I love your content! Thank you for getting me into this sport!

[@andreasbergmann8780]

3:28 Solo 1500m of Ingebrightsen at the olympic final.

[@joe1071]

Anyone who thinks this is all natural competitive bad blood banter is delusional. This is mostly classic rivalry entertainment marketing. Creating tension to get people to follow and tune in. Nothing more than that

[@ayman8509]

Kerrs indoor two mile isn’t an official world record, Jakob wasn’t wrong
