Josh sounded like prime Josh in 2024 with his recent comments on The Running Effect. Basically said he doesn't think anyone can beat him and reveal new details that I didn't know about before that he was injured already going into the final at worlds last year and his coaches didn't want him to run, but he did anyways.
Editor's note: When Josh says "over a mile" he is meaning in a mile race (not a distance longer than a mile).
The full quote from Josh is, "I know this is a really media-trained answer, but the biggest competition I have is myself. If I can get to the line healthy and ready to go, I don’t believe anyone can deal with me.
Obviously there are great guys who have won championships, but I genuinely don’t see them as an issue. Maybe it’s because I’m not scrolling through Instagram every day seeing what people are doing, but no one really comes to mind.
I think Cole is doing really well in some of his races right now, but I don’t think he can deal with me over a mile. I don’t think those guys can deal with me over 3K if I’m fit and ready to go."
