Brosnan was a guest on the podcast on Tuesday. He told us he that he personally recorded the audio version of the book. This week only, if you join our Supporters Club, we'll send you a copy of the book and a free t-shirt as Rojo's college roommate Chris Lear is a co-author.
I’m on chapter five of the audio version right now. Brosnan is a crazy dude—in a good way. This book is definitely worth a read, it’s been really good so far. Hopefully, it stays interesting throughout. From what I’ve heard about his early influences, it totally makes sense why he’s such an out-of-the-box guy and a bit crazy.
What possible failure of planning led to this being necessary?
Unfortunately, my nephew was recently killed in a climbing accident here in CA; and his funeral is Saturday in Missouri. My wife and I are driving his car back from CA for my brother.
I'm really sorry to hear this. I don't know you, but sudden loss of life like that isn't easy. Been there. Talk to someone if you need to.

Did he discuss his history in the sport and how many All-American awards he received in college?

I’m on Chapter three here!
It’s for sure like a RWTB style. I do hope he shares some workouts and training for us inner running nerds 🤓
I bought it on Amazon and received it today. The main reason I bought it was because it was coauthored with Chris Lear (Running With The Buffaloes). I'm looking forward to reading it. Running books like this don't come out very often.

I agree, running books don’t come around often, so I went to the Barnes & Noble on Opry Mills here in Nashville this morning to grab my copy. I’ll start reading and get back to you with my thoughts soon. It’s like a harry potter book anticipation for runners

There are generational books every decade or so. The Lonely Breed, Once a Runner, The Lore of Running, Running with the Buffaloes, and only a few others. I'll put this on my shelf. Whether or not it belongs with the others remains to be seen but the story deserves to be told.
I met Chris Lear in 2003 at the Bolder Boulder race. He was signing copies of his book Sub 4:00 about Alan Webb which had just come out. I told him I enjoyed Running With The Buffaloes and that I wished there were more books like that instead of how to run books. He was pleasant to talk to. I still have that book .
Lol, take a look at the front page. As if there was any doubt that the owners of this site fawn over Sean and delete anything even remotely critical. Likely that they're the ones contributing all these generic, duplicative posts praising the book.
I will probably buy this book and read it. I'm sure it will be worth the money and time it takes to read because Chris Lear's other books were both good reads. I wish Chris would write a book about Mead/Pat Tyson but maybe that's too far in the past for anyone to care about now. There is at least a compelling story to be told about Newbury Park because they had pretty tremendous success in a short time.
For what it's worth, I found an interview of Sean Brosnan that was about an hour long on some podcast a year or so ago (the interview was from farther back in time because he was talking about the Sahlmans and what events they might get good at, before they were sub 150 800m runners and everyone thought they would be 1600/3200m types). I would say that I learned enough from the interview that it was worth listening to, so if someone hasn't already at least heard an interview where Brosnan discusses his philosophy towards training, the book will probably be worth their time.

Like him or hate him, Brosnan is definitely one of the most insightful and talked about coaches in the sport of track. I’ve already ordered his book and I’m hoping to pick up a few positive insights from it. Looking forward to seeing what valuable perspectives he offers.
