Follow my path leading up to Tokyo as I prepare to defend my 1500m title and share every step of this incredible adventure. Episodes will be released on the last Friday of each month throughout 2025, with bonus episodes dropping along the way-don’t miss it!

    I cant beleive some of you people. It was a chill video of Josh just chatting. It's a day in the life, an amazing one. Josh don't listen to these people, they are either bots, sheep, or wanna be's. Keep being the change this sport needs. - Rizzo (an actual runner)

      I think it’s better tbh there’s way too much of just athletes running round a track and it doesn’t really give you anything more than the tv. I personally find all the behind the scenes stuff way more interesting

    As a Kerr fan, I agree that the video doesn’t cast him in the best light. If you’re looking to truly understand him, I highly recommend his podcast Sit and Kick. While he doesn’t share as much about his private life as Jakob does, he delivers sharp insights and unfiltered truths about our sport. His wisdom is more akin to Steve Ovett-grounded, analytical, and undeniably resilient. That mental toughness and scientific approach are key reasons he’s medaled in three of the last four global championships, often competing in the most fiercely contested 1500m races. His style (explained in podcasts) may be less flashy and more raw, but it perfectly showcases his mental game. It’s a shame that today this type of marketing comes from his channel and ends up as shallow. Especially since vlogs and videos of him from BrooksBeats or FloTrack are incredibly entertaining and offer a much more engaging and authentic view of his personality.

    Learned well from the yanks, bro is marketing machine. All the commonwealth and Euro runners can judge self promotion from upturned snobbery and split pennies from “virtuous honest prize earnings” all they want. Noah, Kerr, even Jakob. The attention going towards T&F is incredibly important to capitalize on. Everyone in the field is a prize runner, it’s silly to judge how the prize is won or what else can be won simultaneously.

    It was actually a good video presentation. I don’t feel Josh has put himself out on the track enough over the last few years and has lived on some really good key victories . It sounds like he’s gonna race more which , will be good .
    Unfortunately I don’t believe the Grand Slam League is what everyone wants … no field events ?? I’d like to see how many tickets have been purchased so far ? ( just to see how much interest is in this league ) and what the tv plans are ? Being able to see in person or on tv are both important . Let’s just hope the league helps with more popularity and media popularity for track ( and field )
