Bonus episode. Join me for a 10-mile tempo with fellow Lobo and NCAA Cross Country Champion, and most recently the NCAA Indoor 5000m Champion, Habtom Samuel. A solid session out on the roads as we lock into pace and work through the miles together for a 10 mile tempo. But what did the average end up being? Come along for the full run and find out.

We’re back racing. This episode takes you inside the 2 Mile at the historic Millrose Games. From the calm before the storm to the final steps off the track. You’ll see the preparation, the conversations, the atmosphere, and the moments that don’t make the broadcast. After the race, I break down exactly how it felt and where we go from here as the season builds. No filters. Just the process.   0:00 - Introduction 0:12 - Opening Remarks 1:12 - Touchdown in NY 1:28 - Workout 1:45 - Haircut 2:02 - Press Conference 2:45 - Run @ Central Park 3:24 - Head to Pre Meet 3:56 - Chat to Coach Danny Mackey 5:05 - Pre Meet Workout 5:45 - Dom 400m 8:21 - Race Day Meal 9:29 - Head to Race 10:39 - 2 Mile Race 14:20 - Race Debrief   New Features Amazfit Balance 2 https://us.amazfit.com/products/balance-2?_pos=1&_sid=59e5b4daf&_ss=r   Helio Strap https://us.amazfit.com/products/helio-strap   Oakley Stunt Devil https://www.oakley.com/en-us/product/W0OO9517?variant=888392677204

This isn’t a race. It’s a fitness check. In this training-day vlog, I take you inside a key session two weeks before Millrose. This workout is designed to simulate my 2-mile WORLD RECORD pace. With 16 days to go, this is the point where we can afford to push and see what happens. This was my 3rd workout back on the track, so the question is simple: am I back to full fitness? You’ll see the full process, from the focus before the first rep to the moments late in the session when the work starts to ask the hard questions. No crowd. No race. Just work. Do we hit the 2-mile world-record splits? The Workout: 600m, (1min rest) 200m, (2mins rest) x 6   (6 mins rest) Progression, 400m   “Well that was easy!”

16-year-old Sam Ruthe OBLITERATED the field and his own age-group world record with a RIDICULOUS 3:48.88 mile to win the BU Terrier Classic. That’s #11 ALL-TIME indoors, 0.01 behind World champ Josh Kerr on the world list.

The pre-race buzz around the men’s two mile centered on whether anyone could challenge Josh Kerr’s world record. When Fisher scratched just hours before the start due to illness, the entire dynamic shifted. Eric Jenkins: “Genuinely the worst news you can get... If one guy scratches from the two mile—you hope it’s literally anyone but Grant Fisher. As soon as Grant Fisher’s out, they go, ‘Well, time’s out the window.’” What unfolded was a tactical chess match that showcased the race IQ of 5000m World champion Cole Hocker. Rather than chasing pacer Ben Allen‘s early hot pace, Hocker sat back and dictated a tempo that was fast enough to hurt but slow enough to preserve his devastating kick—all from the front. Kyle Merber: “Cole sat right off and he didn’t go. He made sure he goes, ‘I am not going to just be the one to go at this insane pace.’ I’m going to sit back. He’s so good at doing just fast enough that no one’s going to go around him, but slow enough that he’s going to have the best kick.” Aisha Praught-Leer: “When you hit that icky in-between pace, it doesn’t feel comfortable, but you see the time on the clock psychologically. If I’m Ethan Strand, I’m thinking like, ‘Hey, we’re going slower than I thought we were, but it still really hurts. I’m uncomfortable. I’m not sure what to do.’ Cole did it right and it started building that doubt in your competitors. It’s a brilliant, brilliant move to do.” Hocker ultimately won in 8:07.31 with Kerr taking second in 8:07.68. Parker Wolfe ran tough for third place in 8:07.83. 3000m steeplechase World champion George Beamish charged to 10th place with 400m to go to 5th after sitting nearly last for much of the race. Extra kudos to pacer Ben Allen, who adjusted his strategy on the fly when Hocker didn’t immediately attach. Kyle Merber: “Ben Allen did such an unbelievable job pacing. He allowed them to settle a little and then cut in and take the pace, which allowed Cole to immediately latch on. At some point, it became clear to him that Cole was not on top of him. He does little look-backs over the shoulder, which is allowed and encouraged if you’re the rabbit, and he stepped out on the turn a little bit, got on the outside of the lane, and slowed it down just a hair—nothing dramatic, but just enough to allow Cole to reattach. Without him, this becomes a totally different 8:15 race.” 🎥 Watch the full post-race show here: https://youtu.be/RWcntefA9PA?si=7s5qBTu-hIefGq7T 🎧 Take it on-the-go and listen to it in podcast form here: ▶️ APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2026-millrose-games-post-race-show-live-from-the/id1204506559?i=1000747628064 ▶️ SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7hnfSviJVUsg0blvf0Y0hR?si=4WdLGfq_ShKkajr0Jzbiwg __________ FOLLOW CITIUS MAG ▶ Subscribe to the podcast: https://apple.co/3Byp72I ▶ On Twitter: http://twitter.com/CitiusMag ▶ On Instagram: http://instagram.com/citiusmag ▶ On Facebook: http://facebook.com/citiusmag ▶ Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/citiusmag ▶ On our website: http://citiusmag.com For other inquiries, contact us: chris@citiusmag.com Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, and subscribe!

The 2026 indoor season is officially underway, and it hasn’t taken long for things to really heat up. Fresh off two world indoor records in Boston, the top U.S.-based pros are almost all headed down to New York for the 118th Millrose Games at the historic Armory, looking to take things up yet another notch. Every year, this is the best meet of the indoor season. Yes, even better than World Indoors. The stars turn out. There’s rich tradition. And this year’s line-up of races is no exception to it all. We’ll have a full CITIUS MAG team on-site for this weekend’s coverage. On Saturday, we’ll be LIVE from the Armory for a pre-race preview show with Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber, Eric Jenkins, Aisha Praught-Leer and Anderson Emerole. During the meet, you can follow along with all the action and catch post-race interviews across our CITIUS social channels. We’ll record our post-race show when the meet wraps up on Sunday evening as well. The professional events kick off Sunday, February 1 at 4:00 p.m. ET, with the two-hour TV window broadcast on NBC and Peacock.

Two weeks out. The time is now. This isn’t about a race, it’s about my best session of the year.

This is where confidence is earned, not claimed. No crowd. No finish line. RAW footage. Just precision, pressure, and purpose. This one showed me what’s possible. Two weeks to Tokyo.

How it all unfolded! In this exclusive behind-the-scenes vlog from the World Championships in Japan, follow Josh in the final hours before stepping onto the world stage- the moment every athlete trains for, the one that defines everything. You'll see everything that happened including an immediate reaction from my injury. This maybe wasn't how we dreamed it would end but that doesn't take away from how special the journey was. See what the cameras don’t usually show: • The focus that comes before the chaos • The calm in the tunnel, the fire on the track • The mindset of a competitor representing more than just himself • The moments that remind you why you started • Hear it all from Josh's perspective Let’s go behind the scenes.
