Calling it...we're going to see a 3:25 1500m AND a 3:42 mile in either 2025 or 2026 and, thus, Hicham El Guerrouj's reign over the 1500/mile will come to an end just as Komen's reign in the 3000/2 mile did in 2023/2024.
Records are made to be broken. 3:26.00 and 3:43.13, while legendary records, are not quite at the limits of human capability in my opinion.
Current contenders to break the 1500m record are Jakob/Hocker/Kerr, and the mile record Jakob/Nuguse/Kerr, in order of likelihood.

Nuguse and Kerr are nowhere close to the 1500 WR. They can only break it chasing Jakob, who will break both records.
