Josh Kerr, speaking after winning at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, says his next goal is to break the 1500 metres world record. Multiple outlets report that Kerr has already made major attempts at middle-distance marks, including erasing Hicham El Guerrouj’s mile world record. The reports also state that Kerr’s current focus is the Moroccan runner’s 28-year-old best in the 1500m, described as the next benchmark he wants to surpass. After his Commonwealth triumph, Kerr frames his preparation around reaching that record, with attention on the remaining steps needed to compete at the very highest level over 1500m. While the articles emphasize his record aspirations, they also note that his recent Commonwealth performance forms the basis for his confidence and timing going forward. No new details are provided across the sources about specific dates, meets, or coached adjustments, but both outlets present the same through-line: Kerr’s Commonwealth success is followed by a continued push toward the long-standing 1500m record.
