I’m not afraid of failure, says Kerr ahead of mile world record bid

British middle-distance runner Josh Kerr has declared he is 'not scared of failing' as he prepares to attempt breaking the mile world record at the London Diamond League meet on Saturday. The 2023 world 1500 metres champion is targeting Moroccan Hicham El Guerrouj's long-standing record of 3 minutes 43 seconds, which has stood for 27 years. Kerr announced his intention to pursue the record back in March.
