WRONG! Jakob had to stop to walk during the Copenhagen half marathon, and he finished that race more than 5 minutes behind the winner. After the race, he was flat on his back, totally broken and humiliated.
You clearly are lying just like Kerr. Jakob had no preparation nor training for the race and was racing it on empty. He also took multiple flights and just landed and had no time to rest. He will run 55:40 trust me that
Everything I said is the truth. So is this: I can always count on Jakob fanboys like you to make lame excuses for his losses!
Kerr isn’t coming off injury. He’s desperately trying to peak for the WCs, he’s not in top shape like drug fueled Africans with no oversight. The bitterness from the POMs who had to endure seeing Hocker give Kerr a jailhouse rogering in Paris is a hoot. Now they all cry ‘drugs’ at Hocker and Nuguse, when they have had tremendous - and very obvious - dopers in Mo, Kelly Holmes, Ohuruogu, etc.
Some form of drugs is inevitable in elite sport. It’s called expedience.

I don’t count myself a Jakob fanatic. But I’m definitely an El G one. When I was younger I had photos of El G on my wall and dreamed about being like him. But I never made it. I failed and that’s common.
So then the question is, if you are Michael Johnson and this guy was a marquee signing - he was second after only SML and you are paying him that much cash to be the distance running "icon" of your league - are you stoked about that?
I think my basic prediction was that guys were happy to take a ton of cash without really understanding what they are getting into full picture. This is happening at a crucial time in the season when guys like really charging their batteries coming off winter grind. These meets are 6 days of commitment - arriving on Wednesdays and leaving Mondays. Now you have another 3 to do in the next 11 weeks or so. I'm not surprised at all.
Kerr now becomes a test case for GST. This is what they said they wanted to see: their Racers working their way through a season. He point, they said, was that they were tired of people only opening up either when they were getting towards speak condition, or at pointless, high school track meets which aren't even streamed. In that respect, the short distance group now has its main storyline: can Kerr get to near his peak over the next three meets?
Unlikely as Kerr is past his prime. I saw it coming with that hip injury. He binged too much during Christmas or whatever occasion last year. Let his guard down took alcohol and crackers. Put on weight he looks fat in the GST.

El G was awesome. That’s why nobody can be like him. He’s one of a kind.
Kerr didn’t have a great weekend at Grand Slam Kingston. He was 5th in the 1500 and DFL in the 800. I spoke to him briefly after the race off-camera and he said that, contrary to some rumors, he was not sick. But he was dealing with a hip injury for 3 months that severely impacted his training.
I asked him if that was true, why did he show up to Millrose (even though he didn’t race)? He said it’s because he likes the meet and had committed to run but acknowledged in retrospect it was a dumb idea.
He said he’s had a month of healthy training coming into Kingston and is looking forward to keep building and getting into better shape.
HUH?????????????????????????????
Not a great weekend??????????? There are still 5 more months to Tokyo and he just smoked Jakob's 3:45 with a low 3:44 solo with no pacers and wavelights on a gradient course profile. Hocker should be really afraid Kerr is this good after months of downtime alright sir!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes he will keep building and get into better shape!!!!!!!!!!
Jakob last year ran a 3:45 mile as his debut after coming back from injury
Then here's Kerr struggling to run under 1:51 for 800 lol
LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Jakob didn't come back from injury. He ran 3:45 after months of hard work at Flagstaff Arizona sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please your take is really terrible for this forum!!!!! Just wait and see my boy Kerr Josh running 3:25:50 later this year. He already announced it that he's going for it!!!!!!

So he never got the Noro virus? I'm confused. He did indicate in a video though that he had a hip injury.
It was both. He WAS DEAD SERIOUS AF when he said he had norovirus and hip injury. The British mean every word they say alright snowflakes dear!!!!!!!!! Are you suggesting Kerr is faking things or something????? This is incorrect alright!!!

I for one think Kerr will only get super fit from now on. He only used the 800 and 1500 as rust busters, and didn't care about positions. Look at Bekele who has had much longer time's off from injuries, and still bounces back to be the best. Every race will get faster and faster. Who knows, he could literally be knocking on El G's door in 5 months.

We took Jakob at his word in Budapest, we can do the same here for Josh Kerr.
That being said, it's not like he ran poorly last night. He ran 3.35.61 with a 52.3 last lap - that's not quite world title winning form but I think he'd take that in the first week of April, in fact it's somewhat impressive.
What it doesn't explain is the 1.50.7 today. That was giving up.
When you consider he has a 3 year, million dollar deal with GST (nearly $42k per start), maybe it puts that effort (or lack thereof) into perspective. He made 12.5k today which put him at nearly 55 for the meet. That's even more cash than a challenger would make coming in and getting second (50k + 2k appearance). Make of that what you will.
Josh Kerr did run a 51.xx last lap with Jake Wightman at 2021 british trials for a 3:40 1500m race. 52.3 for a 3:35 race isn't that bad. He has run 53.2 for Budapest world champs in 3:29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And he has run 52.3 at the Paris heats 1500m round 1 for around a 3:35 race too and he was jogging it in and fully healthy. Imagine if he was fully fit and it was a finals 3:35 race he would be sprinting it in in 50.9 at least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My boy Kerr Josh is on track to be the WR holder this summer, mark my words folks please!!!!!
Not a great weekend??????????? There are still 5 more months to Tokyo and he just smoked Jakob's 3:45 with a low 3:44 solo with no pacers and wavelights on a gradient course profile. Hocker should be really afraid Kerr is this good after months of downtime alright sir!!!!!!!!!!!

Look thank you so so so much sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always believed, like you, that Kerr is the future WR holder of the 1500m and clean at that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I acknowledge Hocker and Nuguse could also be future WR holders but there are big question marks over these 2 dirty athletes you feelin me sir???????? Jakob on the other hand is really floundering without his dad on his team I feel so...............we must give all our support to our British ace Kerr Josh!!!!!!!
Jakob last year ran a 3:45 mile as his debut after coming back from injury
Then here's Kerr struggling to run under 1:51 for 800 lol
Jakob had a several month buildup to his 3:45.
Correct correct correct sir!!!!!! I feel like Jakob is no longer in the 3:43:96 shape we saw him in 2023 before he lost his testosterone to Elizabeth to make a baby. That 3:45 is good but not up there in the stars you feelin me????? I'm not sold and that's the problem. His running technique is also getting from bad to worse. He has trouble spreading width with his legs and driving forwards with the arms. You saw how my darling Hicham El Kingdom Triple Love Guerrouj was working those arms and spreading those legs in the 1998 video of the 1500m WR race??????? He was covering real estate like hell sir!!!!!!!!! Jakob is inferior in this area!!!!!
I think he was sick before Millrose (and also still had the hip issues). The rumors about being sick this weekend apparently were just rumors.
He was sick immediately the night before Millrose. In one of his later YouTube videos ironically taken two weeks before Millrose, Danny Mackey says he was sick over the winter though it sounds like December timing at latest. Not sure where the recent illness rumor started.
Yes getting sick shows that Kerr Josh's body is working fine. His immune system is fully healthy and operational and he is actively fighting pathogens and other viruses to keep healthy. Getting sick is one of the ways the body detoxifies. If you don't run a fever and don't get sick, then you have what is known as CANCER which is a worse proposition than getting a cold or the flu!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally, never ever ever ever vaccinate from henceforth. You may take the measles vaccine if you are a child but that is just about the only vaccine you should ever take in your life. There shouldn't be any other pharmaceuticals in your body ever again!!!!
So then the question is, if you are Michael Johnson and this guy was a marquee signing - he was second after only SML and you are paying him that much cash to be the distance running "icon" of your league - are you stoked about that?

I 100% agree and it’s why Kerr was such a strange signing. The guy who shrugs off rare bad performances (partially because he rarely races) with “I run great when it counts most” and competes sparingly is a tough match.
You’d actually want the opposite and it’s why Ngetich is keeping her category afloat. She isn’t worried about that stuff and just runs hard and the prize (not just appearance) money means a lot. The format did make Kerr more interesting than in a DL style race. In that maybe he runs 3:31 high and is well off the others in an uninteresting way.
But the 800 part of things and the risk with committing to Kerr is he’s interesting when fit and the act wears thin if he’s out of shape and just coming off as disingenuous. Same deal with Kerley. I’d much rather have a guy who maybe doesn’t have the same clutch factor but is steady for this sort of thing like Simbine let’s say or Tim Cheruiyot let’s say in the 1500. Kerr’s a tough sell for the 800, SML has no such limitations and could even do 2 other groups. The injury risk is there but the indifferent performances are not.
Look Noah, your tendency is to overthink or underthink things based on certain prejudices you have for certain athletes like Kerr Josh!!!! You lack that subjective balance-ness that I bring to discussions on this forum you feelin me????? Why don't you sit back and relax and wait out a few more weeks and months and you will necessarily see a revamped Kerr Josh breaking Hicham El Kingdom Triple Love Guerrouj's WR in the 1500m at Monaco or Eugene??????? I believe in my boy Kerr, I believe in Danny Mackey, I believe in the Brooks Beast system run by Garrett Heath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They signed him because of all the media attention he gets with his drama with Jakob, and now they're quickly finding out that there's a reason for why Kerr is making headlines for his loud mouth rather than his racing results.
Sir please alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is such a bad take on things!!!!!!!! If Kerr Josh didn't want to sign for GST they couldn't have signed him, this has nothing to do with marketing any storyline you feelin me?????? It's the Jakob fanboys who are feeling aggrieved over British moral police Kerr Josh who has cultivated a lifetime of British candidness and affection to be able to point out when Jakob has overstepped the line!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on. We can debate whether Kerr was the best signing for this format. And there's no doubt he likes to talk but you cannot look at what he did in 2024 and say he didn't back it up with results. Called a WR at Millrose ahead of time and delivered. Won World Indoors. Beat Jakob at Pre and again at the Olympics.
Correct correct correct dear Jonathan!!!!! These were all conveniently forgotten by the Jakob and Hocker fanboys ain't it???????? Remember, he also did it cleanly and repeatedly boasted to the world that he, Mackey and Brooks Beast are the cleanest running group on the planet!!!!!!!! Hocker, Nuguse and Fisher have never publicly come out to say they are running clean which is why nobody at least partially believes they are running clean.
The point is if you are clean, first thing you must do is show your face to any camera and announce to the world that you are running clean. I know this announcement would be a superficial act but all clean athletes who were ever clean all mentioned explicitly (if even against contrary conscience of doping) that they were clean FIRST AND FIRST!!!!!!!!!! If they were dirty subsequently, THAT IS SEPARATELY ADJUDICATED MATTER ALTOGETHER!!!!!
The laws of space and time and of Physics makes it a salient metaphysical requirement that both a clean AND dirty athlete would always announce they are clean first, while a dirty athlete would either 1) not announce it ahead of time, or 2) announce it only on the egging or recommendation of another such as me Khamis right now doing here!!!!!!!!!!!! Therefore, Hocker and Nuguse and Fisher are all dirty.
Couldnt agree more. Feels so good to see this guy being exposed. This is why Jakob is better, he is ALWAYS an item in EVERY race. In any other sport it would have been obvious. You gotta show up the entire season to be best, not just one match
Incorrect sir, please be serious alright!!!!!! You don't expose or besmirch a morally faultless man like my boy Kerr Josh, you sing praises and award generously to such youn feeling me right?????? Kerr Josh has announced he was injured and sick all winter. He is also running extremely clean and not on any miracle drug. Therefore sir you need to give him so time to rediscover his midas touch alright????????????

Who the F**K are you?
Enough already with the "Kerr Josh" suck me off circle jerk.
Mods, can we do something about Khamis so that he doesn't spam every thread about 1500 athletes with 10+ posts in a row of useless drivel, completely ruining the thread?
No you are not happy at all. You wanted him to rest more and only race when he can win like in the past. Are you seriously happy with the seeing him race more and lose more too? Kerr is not a durable athlete like jakob
It is always better to see athletes race more unless they are uncompetitive. In the 1500, he was competitive and it was fun to watch. In the 800, no I don’t need to see him race much.
