Josh Kerr will attempt to break the mile world record on Saturday, July 18 at the Novuna London Athletics Meet — a 27-year-old mark of 3:43.13 set by Hicham El Guerrouj in Rome in 1999. It is the first genuine attempt on the world record since El Guerrouj ran it. In the 27 years since, only three men have broken 3:45 in the mile: El Guerrouj himself, Jakob Ingebrigtsen (3:43.73 in 2023), and Yared Nuguse (3:43.97 in 2023). None of them were specifically targeting the record. Kerr has been. He announced Project 222 — a reference to 222 seconds, or 3:42, the time it would take to comfortably break the mark — back in March. His entire 2026 season has been built around this race. He's peaked for global championships four consecutive years and taken home three medals (a gold, silver, bronze), running his season's best in the final each time. His coach Danny Mackey believes he's fitter now than at any of those global championships.

27-Year Mile WR Drought: Can Josh Kerr Finally Break El Guerrouj’s 3:43.13? Hicham El Guerrouj's mile world record has stood for 27 years. Can Josh Kerr break it Saturday in London? His coach Danny Mackey is upbeat but emphasizes external variables like pacing and conditions. What about Kerr's recent workouts and a possible challenge from Yared Nuguse?

Yared Nuguse won the men's 1500m at the Stockholm Diamond League in 3:30.11, holding off 19-year-old Australian phenom Cam Myers in the closing meters for his second straight Diamond League win of 2026. With the win, Nuguse now has six career Diamond League distance victories — more than any American distance runner in the history of the circuit. Donavan Brazier is second on the list with four. Twelve other American distance runners are tied with one apiece. The Stockholm win continues what Nuguse has openly framed as a revenge tour after failing to make the US team for the 2025 World Championships.

Yared Nuguse won his 5th career Diamond League, a record for an American distance runner, taking down world champ Isaac Nader in the process. Soufiane El Bakkali (7:57.25) won a fast men’s steeple as Germany’s Frederik Ruppert (7:57.80) became the first non-African-born man under 8:00.

Nathan Green and Luke Houser didn't garner too much attention coming into the USATF Indoor Championships but they're leaving as one of the stars of the meet. The former University of Washington teammates pulled off a stunning 1-2 finish in the men's 1500m. Green closed a blistering 13.08 final 100m to claim the title. Olympic medalists Cole Hocker and Yared Nuguse faded to 5th and 4th. Houser, a two-time NCAA indoor mile champion, delivered again on the biggest stage despite a quiet season. On This Week In Track and Field, we break down how two former college teammates shocked America's deepest event and what's next for both men as they look to secure their spots for Worlds.

Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia break down a chaotic weekend in American track and field headlined by a lead vehicle disaster at the USATF Half Marathon Championships and a slate of big results at the USATF Indoor Championships.
Discussed:
– The 2026 USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta were thrown into chaos when a lead vehicle guided the top women off course in the final mile with Jess McClain holding a big lead at the time. Molly Born, who stayed on course, won in 69:43. McClain, Emma Grace Hurley and Ednah Kurgat all filed appeals immediately after.
– USATF’s jury of appeals acknowledged the course was inadequately marked but said it had “no recourse within the rulebook” to alter the results, which was a ruling that drew widespread backlash. Atlanta Track Club CEO Rich Kenah took full responsibility.
– Because the race served as the selection event for the 2026 World Athletics Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, the wrong turn didn’t just cost the leaders prize money but also potentially cost them spots on Team USA. The selection situation is a tangled mess with no clean fix under current rules.
– Cole Hocker won the men’s 3,000m in a blanket finish in 7:39.25. Young missed the World Indoor team by .01 to Yared Nuguse after drifting off the rail in the home straight.
– Emily Mackay won the women’s 3,000m in a five-second personal best of 8:30.01, outkicking Elle St. Pierre in the final stretch for her first US title.
– Hocker and Yared Nuguse then faded to 5th and 4th in Sunday’s 1500m, won by former UW teammates Nathan Green and Luke Houser.
– 17-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus went 5-for-5 as a professional, winning the men’s 800m in 1:46.68 with a tactically sharp performance.
– Nikki Hiltz extended their US title streak to eight, winning the women’s 1500m in 4:11.34.
– Jordan Anthony won the men’s 60m in 6.45, beating Trayvon Bromell and Noah Lyles.
Plus: Tokyo Marathon recap, the Louis Hinchcliffe NCAA return and the Iowa State/Seth Clevenger doping investigation.

Who is Ethan Shuley? If you didn't know his name before the Osaka Marathon, you weren't alone. But his 2:07:14 just made him the 7th-fastest American marathoner of all time on a record-eligible course. He certainly does not have your typical marathon success story. Ethan was a high school standout in Kentucky who raced against Yared Nuguse, but chronic Achilles injuries derailed his college career at BYU. After running just ONE race in a BYU uniform and battling injuries for years, he quit the team entirely and walked away from competitive running. Fast forward: He's living in Japan for work and film school, attempting 100-mile ultramarathons, training completely solo, self-coaching off Strava workouts, and gradually building back his fitness. Then came the breakthrough nobody saw coming: 2:20 at Nara, 2:18 at Nagano, 2:11 at Kobe, and finally 2:07:14 at Osaka — all while unsponsored, a period while self-coached, and running 150-mile weeks on six days. In this CITIUS MAG Podcast interview, Ethan breaks down: – Why he quit BYU's track team and walked away from running – His Mormon mission to Ukraine and how it changed his perspective – Moving to Japan, attempting ultras, and getting destroyed by 60-year-old Japanese trail runners – The gradual progression from trail races to breaking 15:00 in the 5K for the first time in his life – Training solo in Kobe, learning Japanese marathon culture, and racing alongside Kenyan elites – How he went from 2:20 to 2:07 in just over a year – His strength training, fueling adjustments, and managing constant nagging injuries – The mental fortitude required to push through cramping and solo racing in Japan –Whether the 2028 US Olympic Marathon Trials are on his radar This is one of the most unlikely marathon breakthroughs in recent American history, and it's a reminder that there's no single path to greatness in distance running.
