Larry’s Deep Thoughts:
One of the things I learned in training and racing for fifteen years, then coaching for twelve years, and then observing for twenty-five more years is the following;
Too many athletes leave their best races on the workout track.
I stand somewhere between keeping the workouts really easy and keeping the workouts really, really hard.
Over the weekend, I witnessed one of the finest mile races I have ever seen!
Josh Kerr battled Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Yared Nuguse. His charge to the front, with six hundred meters to go, gave him the win. Josh Kerr earned that win by running bravely!
Watch him race this season!
