Hey runners, in today's newsletter, Josh Kerr made history in London.
Kerr ran sub-3:43 at the London Diamond League to take down Hicham El Guerrouj's 27-year-old mile world record, with Yared Nuguse right behind in 3:45.69. We've got a full breakdown of the splits (including a blazing final lap), a look at the record-fastest 1,200m time trial that set it all up, and why this record won't last another 27 years.
Elsewhere, Kylie Mantz, who ran a 5:26 mile at 38 weeks pregnant, has welcomed baby boy William into the world.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: what to eat before a run, a pre-run routine checklist, and how to use fartleks to run faster.
Project 222 carried the Breaking2 playbook into a sanctioned race and came away with a world record. The ingredient that made it history was the one nobody could manufacture.
The last time the mile record fell after a long stagnation, it fell four more times within four years. The forces that protected 3:43.13 for a generation have now collapsed in public.
William Mantz arrived in Provo this week, 10 days after his mother's all-out mile on the BYU track and nine months after she unknowingly won her marathon debut while pregnant.
Set yourself up for a strong, injury-free run with these expert-backed tips on fueling, warming up, and preparing your body and mind before you hit the road or trail.
The 28-year-old ran 3:42.66 at the London Diamond League on Saturday, taking nearly half a second off Hicham El Guerrouj's 1999 mark. Yared Nuguse finished second in 3:45.69.
