This interview of Josh Kerr was done by Euro Radio, with comments by Larry Eder.
Josh Kerr is one of the finest middle distance runners in the world. His masterful bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics 1,500m was carefully planned by Kerr and his coach, Brooks Beasts coach Danny Mackey. They had worked on the plan for two years, building Kerr to a level of fitness and confidence that he used to perfection in Tokyo, working through the heats and racing the final to near perfection.
Josh Kerr is now a world player, and he is one of the athletes to watch anytime he competes in global championships.
