The Runna Podcast

"I knew exactly what was wrapped under the tree. I just had to go downstairs and open it." 🏆

This week on The Runna Podcast, Izzy speaks to Olympic and World medallist Josh Kerr just days after he broke the men's world record for the mile.

Josh's run made history: the first British-held mile world record since Roger Bannister's era, run in front of a home crowd of 60,000 people. But this conversation goes beyond the stopwatch. Josh shares how he came back from a serious calf injury in Tokyo, why he announced his goal to the world before he knew he could pull it off, and how he learned to sit with doubt instead of fighting it.
