WOW! History was made at the London Diamond League as Josh Kerr ran a mind-blowing 3:42.66 to break the men's mile world record, a mark that had stood since 1999, when Hicham El Guerrouj set it.

Andy and Sarah unpack one of the greatest middle-distance performances we've ever seen, looking at the numbers behind the run and why it's such a landmark moment for the sport.

Andy shares his own personal experience, having ranked number one in the world for the mile when he ran 3:49.38 in Oslo in 2008. He explains just how hard it is to run this event at the highest level, talks through how the race unfolded, and breaks down the perfectly executed pacing strategy that helped make history.

Sarah, meanwhile, puts Josh's speed into context in her own way... by comparing it to the speed of a cat.

In this week's episode, Andy, Sarah, and Rick are live from the PUMA store on Oxford Street as they help you to understand running and heart rate.

Andy and Rick are joined by Mark from The Running Channel to break down an extraordinary year for elite running. In April alone, five of the ten fastest men’s marathon times in history were recorded, while this year has also seen a new women’s-only marathon world record and a new indoor 800m World Record. In the trail world, Rachel Entrekin smashed the Cocodona 250 course record by an incredible seven hours.

Clearly, the elites are getting something right... so what can the rest of us learn from them?

The team also dives into the catastrophic failure of the Enhanced Games and why, in hindsight, it perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise.
