17 year old Max Burgin front runs 1:45.39!

Out of shape Deng? When has Deng been in shape? He's only a mid-1:44 runner in Monaco. Basically, that's equal to Max's PR, and Max is just a kid.

Temporary ban for Burgin lifted, only results in sub-1:48.

This isn't tennis, it is t&f nobody gets banned except if they are really stupid. The kid was obviously injured.

Injuries don't affect performances. You're either healthy or you isn't.

When Amos comes back, he'll run 1:41 again.

Max Burgin out for 3 weeks? So what? Thomas Staines out for 2 months? Stop making excuses.

Big Mac has been out for 2 years and he'll be running 1:43/3:29 by Doha.

Nothing more pathetic than Coevett’s poor attempts at imitating others. A tactic of the defeated.

From everything I've read, it seems that the injury is minor and that his coach/dad is being understandably cautious.

And in fact, Max is in the starting lists for the GB championships in two weeks time.

Looks like he was being held back to make sure he is fit for the possibility of making Doha.

What happened? Injury worse than expected? I didn't see him at the trials?

He gave an interview to Athletics Weekly straight after his DL race and he basically stated there and then that he didn't think he'd be going to the trials. He didn't blame the injury too much but it's clear he was dejected by his performance.

If he's healthy I hope he runs again before the end of the season, maybe a 1500m and he could surely claim another big pb and end the year on a high.

Let's not forget that his birthday was at the end of May, so he's still barely more than 16 years old.

At this rate, Big Mac will be running 1:42/3:28 by Doha.

Burgin no show at UK champs. that 1:48 got to his head.

He is 17 which is more than 16 last I checked, but not sure that is relevant. I doubt he is making decisions for himself.

His coach definitely made him race too soon from his injury. Straight into a DL race for an U20 athlete was a bad idea.

Hopefully no harm done and he can attempt to make the Olympic team next year.

Simply no use explaining it to you.

Yes Deng is out of shape this year, but not sure how you compare Max's one off 1:45.39 to Deng's 4x1:44's (or the fact that his top 10 ave times is 1:45.49 which is almost the same as Max's best). Not knocking Max's talent, just pointing out how wrong your comment is.

You must admit that ex-runner was close with his prediction. He is obviously in the know when it comes to the how the North African diet of peas and carrots can aid injury recovery.

Nice interview in Athletic Weekly with Max Burgin the other day. Looks like he is over his injury problems and should be gunning for Tokyo next year.

Anyone who knows how Burgin is doping after ending last season with a DVT. Is he back on track so to speak?

I miss Subway Surfers and ex-runner.

If you meant how he is doing, he ran some xcountry the other day.

“How is Burgin doping?” is perfect.

Autocorrection certainly tricked me on that one! Yes doingis what I intended to write. Thanks for the intel.

Isn’t it about time for this hype jobs annual time trial before “injury” when it matters?
