The speaker, professional runner Josh Kerr, explains the function of the electronic pace lights on a running track that were used during his world record attempt. He details how different colored lights correspond to different paces for the pacemakers and himself, and then reveals an inside secret that the lights were programmed to slow down in the final 100 meters to create a more dramatic visual for the audience, making it appear as though he was pulling away from the record pace when he was actually securing it.

Josh Kerr talks about the incredible tech that helped him break the mile world record
The track lights Mhmm. That you have going around the rank. So that indicates basically whether you're on pace to beat the record. Yeah. Does that help you? It's a great question. It's it's a new thing in in rank. So it starts with five blue lamps is what we had for the pacemakers to sit on, which is in front of the pace. And then the first green lamp that you guys saw was my pace. They're a little bit easier to watch on TV and in the stand when you're here and you're looking down your peripheral. And all I was like, I was like, please be blue. Don't be green. Like, that's pretty much all I'm doing. But the funny thing with it is is when we built it up, like, I don't wanna have the pace lights to be the world record because if I, you know, if I run the exact thing, I run the exact same as world record. So we had a pace for three forty two point nine. The pace light company goes, well, no one's gonna understand if you get better by the lights but still get the record, so I need to slow these lights down at some point. Wait. I need to slow them down. So the last 100, the pace light slowed down from three forty two point nine pace to three forty tier point one three pace. So my last 100, it looks like I'm going away from the lights. They're just slowing down. Right. Yeah. So that people in the stands go, oh my good. He's getting the record. But, like, really, they're just they're just starting to work. Oh, that's interesting.
