Men’s 3,000m final

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 3,000m 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.”

“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].
