Josh Kerr sets WR at 2 miles in 8:00.67, Millrose Games, photo by Kevin Morris.
Larry’s Deep Thoughts: Josh Kerr’s 2 mile was a near-perfect race. Have you ever negative split? Josh ran 4:03, then 3:57 to get his 2-mile WR in 8:00.67. I loved the 2-mile distance and raced it 8-10 times a year in high school each year and 15 times a year in college and post-collegiate at all comers in Summer time and Winter.
This is the special make for Josh Kerr. This is the Brooks Hyperion Elite LD from Brooks Running. To learn more about Brooks track spikes, please go to www.Brooksrunning.com.
