Brojos-
Will you please either A) figure out when they'll be training in Flagstaff next and spend a week with them, like the articles done on Asbel Kiprop. or B) Go to Norway and spend multiple weeks with them, and come back with some great series of features on the family?
Thanks!

I had forgotten that time the Brojos hanged out with good ol' Kiprop, saw him do unbelievable workouts, and couldn't tell he was doped to the gills...
And Paula is clean too, right Wejo?!

"Hanged out"? Wtf, dude?
Those articles will really enjoyable to read, regardless of Kiprop's doping that came out, and gave a more human feel to some of these athletes that feel so distant to many of us that can't fathom what they are doing.
Especially with cultural differences, one of the main aspects I enjoyed was that I was able to feel like I had a better understanding of the innate difference between the personality of Kiprop and some of the Kenyans who seemed to be more simply mild mannered, and happy to have a minimal sponsorship deal.
The part about Kiprop driving a 7 series around Kenya was when I actually legitimately laughed in the middle of my college class out loud, and was called out by a professor because I was obviously tuned out of the classroom topic.
Yes, where's all the hard-hitting and slice-of-life feature stories we are craving for here on LRC?
One can only spend so much mental energy trolling the trolls on the MB before the neurons start to misfire. We need more behind the scenes running coverage.
Possible story ideas:
Day in the life of Sara Hall avoiding any mention of husband and children.
Do a story on Becky Wade's bro and sis triplets and determine why she is the only
runner.
Story on Colleen Quigley's struggle with being so beautiful and the challenge she faces being a step above the rest of her teammates in the looks department.
Go to China and take Kara Goucher to one of the factories where Hoka shoes are made and get her reaction to slave labor conditions.
In-depth interview with Jack Daniels after he evaluates Ben Barrows chances of making Olympic 'thon qualifying time.
Plenty of ideas, just ask brojos.
M.A.G.A...
You are assuming
a) Brojos care,
b) Brojos are actually journalists,
c) Brojos can speak/write in complete, grammatically correct sentences.
The (educational) value of an Ivy League education once again called into question.
I had been thinking of making a thread about this...then I saw this one.
I think Jonathan Gault's next profile has to be the Ingebrigsten family.

I hope not. He isn’t a good storyteller. He’s better and pumping out stupid conspiracy theories.
Btw Jonathan, whatever happened with Torrence’s mom and her nutty claims.
