© Copyright – 2023 – Athletics Illustrated

Vancouver’s Kieran Lumb breaks the Canadian 3000m record at Stadio Quercia, Rovereto, Italy clocking the time of 7:38.92.

Lumb finished third behind Ireland’s Brian Fay who clocked a 7:36.89. The winner, American Grant Fisher recorded a 7:33.32 finish time for a new meet record.

Lumb takes over as the country’s fastest outdoor 3000m runner from Moh Ahmed, who set the latest record at 7:40.49 on August 29, 2017, in Hanžeković Memorial Zagreb, Croatia. Ahmed also happens to be Canada’s fastest all-time over two miles, 5000m and 10,000m.

When asked what attributed to the new level of performance, Lumb told Athletics Illustrated, “I think it’s been a cumulation of consistent, solid training. It was good weather, a solid field and good pacing so just tried to make the most of it!”

“[The race] Felt great! Feels like I’ve got a second wave of momentum and fitness after worlds. Just enjoying racing right now.”

In April, Lumb was signed to On.

Four months prior, in January, Lumb showed signs of better fitness during the indoor season. Competing for the University of Washington Huskies, the 25-year-old won a 3000m race at the university in January in the time of 7:43.57. The performance was nearly seven seconds ahead of his closest competitor Sam Prakal who clocked a 7:50.16 finish time. It was a meet-record performance.

In 2022, Lumb ran six new personal bests over the outdoor 800m, mile (track), mile (road, 1609m), 5000m, 10,000m, and indoor 5000m. It was his first year with the Huskies, where he made the NCAA Championships in the 10,000m event. He placed 17th in 28:36.31 to earn an All-America honourable mention.

In regards to the new 3000m record, he added, “It was good weather, a solid field and good pacing so just tried to make the most of it. Heading to Zagreb on Sunday for another 3000m then Latvia for the World Road running championships at the end of the month.”
