No. Brooks has superspikes. He immediately slipped them off and pointed them at the camera to show that they were Brooks. I don't know if they were the Mid Distance or distance spike.
I'm here for all the cretins that have been calling him overweight and throwing shade at his TT and Armory iMile last month. The dude is legit and some people on this forum are too focused on his BMI rather than their own training.
Jeezus, can people realize that body weight IS a factor in distance running? It just IS, and we don’t need to be such p*ssies talking about it! Would you mention how somebody is looking “strong” and ready to go for a baseball season? Would you mention how J Tatum bulked up after his first few seasons in the NBA? YEAH. Why the hell does it have to be so taboo to mention weight in distance running? It’s part of the gd sport.
And for the record, if Kerr is looking THICC in January who gives an F? Not being 5% body fat makes you way less susceptible to sickness and it’s not peak racing season
You literally have two pieces of 'equipment' that matter in running. Your shoes and your body, but god forbid anyone speculate about either one. No wonder people think running is boring as a spectator sport.
Something told me this guy was going to be a special talent when he came out of nowhere to beat Ches in the NCAA finals.
He's really showing the world the level he's attained now. I think he's only a step behind Jakob now and clear 2 in the world. Will gamble and say we could see a sub 3:28 from him in 2022.

Lmao. I think youre forgetting something there, buddy. Theres this guy named Tim. If even Yakob hasnt solidified his ranking over Tim what makes you think Kerr has? Timothy has bigger odds of going under 3:28 than Kerr does.

The disrespect for Tim Cheruiyot is insane. Running with one good hamstring in his worst season since 2017, he beat Kerr in Kerr's outlier best performance. If Tim's healthy, he is a threat to run 3:27 in any race.
I kind of chuckled when I heard the flotrack pod guys predict a 3:50.
3:50 is where guys like Teare and Hocker are at, Kerr is obviously a level beyond that. This 3:48 is no surprise.
Then why’d he run 3:52.2 in his first race and barely beat Craig Engels in his second…? This was clearly a step up in performance. Agree that 3:48.8 from Kerr is unsurprising like Jakob running an indoor 3:30. But it was a nice jump up from somewhat underwhelming performances
Racing is like that.
If you were more than a lurking jogger you'd realize that fact.
Tim had his ups and downs last year--I don't know that he was at his best at the Olympics, and Kerr ran a superb race. It's a critical year for Tim, who has been so consistent. If he's at his best, Kerr would have his hands full getting to the finish line ahead of him.

Hard agree. Kerr is getting up there, and may even be able to challenge Tim and Jakob, but he has to prove it in a race with them first - none of that BS "he's clearly in X:XX shape" that you hear so much on these boards. Cheruiyot has done it on the biggest stages repeatedly, he deserves respect. What I will say, is that Kerr, Cheruiyot, and Ingenbrigtsen are the clear class of the 1500 field right now. There's a bunch of guys in the pack behind them like Mechaal, Hoare, McSweyn, Wightman, Hocker, Kipsang, Tefere, etc, but I wouldn't back any of those guys to break 3:30, let alone go under 3:29. The wildcard is Manangoi returning from his suspension. Who knows whether he will be fit
You wouldnt back any of those guys to break 3:30? Kipsang, Wightman, and McSweyn have all done it already, and Mechaal, Hocker, Tefera are within a second or so.

I agree. People here in general needs to have some respect. You are not the best/second best/third best before you have proven it. Not in one race, but in multiple races. And these races has to be against the contenders for the title.
