ATHLETICS World champion Josh Kerr maturely reacts to Jakob Ingebrigtsen's disrespectful comment
The Scottish middle-distance runner has fired back with fierce words following Jakob Ingebrigtsen's controversial remarks.
He is already feeling an improvement in his fitness levels compared to this time last year and is bubbling with confidence.
“This year is going to present its own challenges and we need to understand that every plan has to be fluid, but it starts with me not missing days.
"I did that really well last year. I think I’ve probably missed maybe 10 days overall through injury and illness through the year, which isn’t a lot, and it was at the right times so that’s a big thing we work on every year.
"If I can build off what we did this year, and not miss days, then I’m going to put myself in a position to be available for that (Olympic) gold medal,” Kerr said as per Athletics Weekly.
Kerr is also working on his nutrition since he believes it is a huge deal, especially with his traveling nature. However, he has also placed emphasis on his strength and conditioning.
“I kind of max out about 75 miles a week off six days. It’s maintenance work, staying on top of things, it’s having a massage therapist in every city that I go to, it’s being aware that my body comes first.

ATHLETICS Elaine Thompson's bumpy 2023: Injury comeback, switching coaches among other untold stories
Elaine Thompson's 2023 season has been nothing short of a testimony owing to the fact that it started quite slowly but she picked up herself along the way.
“After the Olympics, I really struggled. I took a bit of time off and the motivation wasn’t there. I just had a tough time getting stuck back into winter training [for the 2022 season], but this time I was able to really flip a switch going into winter training and be like: ‘Right, this is where it starts’,” he said.
