They went back and forth online and on the track over a number of issues, including Kerr&#8217;s suggestion that his rival could only run his top times with the help of pacesetters, the likes of which aren&#8217;t allowed at major championships.<\/p>\n<p>When the Paris Games rolled around, Ingebrigtsen faded to fourth while American Cole Hocker pulled a huge upset, with Kerr finishing second.<\/p>\n<p>At the world championships last year, Ingebrigtsen faltered in a preliminary heat while Kerr pulled up lame and limped into the finish in a final won by Issac Nader of Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>This year, with no worlds or Olympics on the schedule, Kerr made the mile his key target. It&#8217;s a distance that isn&#8217;t run as much in big events but that still has major historical significance, most of it surrounding Roger Bannister&#8217;s breaking of the once-intimidating four-minute barrier in 1954.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
