Glasgow Indoor Worlds Shine Bright With Lightning Fast and Perfectly Precise Times!
Josh Kerr [SNS] Josh Kerr says while his focus is on this week's World Indoor Championships in Poland, "the priority" is this summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The 28-year-old middle distance runner will take to the track in Torun aiming to reclaim the 3000m title he won in his Scottish homeland two years ago. "For me, the world indoors right now is where my head is at," said the Olympic silver and bronze medallist.
"It is really difficult as athletes to go, 'well I want to do this, this and this' and that is normally how it goes, it is just one of those things where you have to focus on the training and make sure that you are not overcommitting yourself to these goals too early. " Kerr 'did more damage' by finishing world final And he added: "You normally need to revolve it around one [event] and then see if the other one is possible. "For me, the priority is the Commonwealth Games, the outdoor season, and then if the body is ready to run the Europeans [in August].
The odds are that between everything with the world indoors and the World Athletics Ultimate Championships [in September] it is just a lot of running so we will figure it out, I will never say no to things right now but that is my priority list as it stands. " 'Gold in Scotland what I grew up thinking about' Kerr would love to add a Commonwealth gold to his Olympic medals and his world and world indoor golds. "What else would you want from a season really, every four years, in Scotland in front of a home crowd, going after a gold medal in the mile distance as well, that is why it is a massive priority in the season," he explained.
"That is what I grew up thinking about, for me that is what my family spoke about, it is how we were when we were getting our first Scotland vests in cross country and on the track and on the road. "That is what we always used to discuss when we were sitting on the bus going to these championships. 'Who is going to the Commonwealth Games?
What is everyone's goals for the Commonwealth Games? ' "And to know that it is in Scotland, it is just pretty special so why would I give up that opportunity for something else? When you look back on your career these are the kind of moments that you are like, 'that was awesome, that was a huge moment' regardless of the result, you have got to enjoy it.
