Noah Lyles has hinted at the possibility of running the 400m but is keeping his plans open, especially with his fiancée in the picture.

Reigning Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles has opened up about the chances of competing in the 400m this season, joining his fiancée, Junelle Bromfield, a two-time Olympian.

Noah Lyles has been vocal about trying new things in his career, with the 400m being among his career goals.

The triple world champion competed in his first 400m as a professional at the Tom Jones Memorial, crossing the finish line in 45.87 seconds. The race was also his first 400m race in nearly 9 years.

Noah Lyles revealed that he is getting closer to adding the 400m to his list of events, but this season, he will not be running it frequently.

The three-time world 200m champion pointed out that he will compete in a few 400m races to build on his endurance.

He added that since it is a long season, he will also do the 400m races for fun, but most importantly, just to keep fit ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan, in September.

Noah Lyles further noted that they had plans to compete in the 4x400m relay or mixed relay at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, but things did not go as planned.

“You know what's crazy is every year you ask, I get closer and closer to running it. I don't think it's going to happen as much this year, but I will say that Ryan and I were practising today, and we thought of the idea of putting together an All-Star 4x4 relay for the New Balance Grand Prix, which would be pretty cool,” Noah Lyles revealed in an interview with Run Blog Run.

“You know, just for fun, I mean it's indoor, right, we got a long season, we don't have to do anything crazy, we're all building up our endurance or maybe putting together a mixed relay, I think that would be cool.”

At the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, Noah Lyles only managed to compete in the 60m, which he won, making it his last indoor race of the season.

Noah Lyles started his season with a win in the 60m at the RADD Sports College Invitational and Multi-Event.

Junelle Bromfield, Noah Lyles’ fiancée, is a professional 400m runner but has yet to open her 2025 season, with many speculating that she might have retired.

Junelle Bromfield was part of the Jamaican 4x400m relay team that won a bronze medal at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She also finished eighth in the semi-final of the women's 400m at the Paris Olympic Games among other notable achievements.
