Trolls thrive on spreading false information, hoping their targets will see it and react. In reality, the only thing these individuals are guilty of is being successful—something trolls resent. Craving attention, they lash out, crying foul and stirring drama just to be noticed
Look, the only story changing here is the one in the Letsrun version. So relax and don’t get your panties in a twist. This is literally the only time I’ve ever heard Brosnan himself get questioned about it, and he actually answered. Sounds like he’s got a team or group officially forming in January. I’m pretty sure he can’t say a damn thing officially until then. Bottom line: he or anyone else doesn’t owe you or anyone else day by day playbook of his coaching job. Time to get over it.
While exact names of pros in Sean Brosnan’s Diadora Flagstaff pro group are not explicitly listed in the sources, likely candidates include former Newbury Park standouts like Nico Young, potential Big Bear Track Club athletes (e.g., Brenda Martinez or similar pros), and emerging Diadora-sponsored runners seeking high-altitude training. Brosnan’s reputation and Flagstaff’s appeal suggest he’s coaching a mix of established and up-and-coming distance runners, but further details would require checking recent announcements or Diadora’s official channels.

What happened to Skechers in Big Bear? I thought everyone in the know was aware of that. Now it’s Diadora in Flgastaff? Next it’s going to be Altra in Provo?
I really like the idea of it being in the same style as Running with the Buffalo’s. Training books are definitely NOT my cup of tea, so I’m looking forward to seeing what’s the deal with this book.

Getting Chris Lear on this was smart. Lear and RWTB was iconic on distance running

The only thing more hilarious that claiming Brosnan will be coaching Nico is referring to B-Mart a currently competitive Big Bear TC athlete.
But hey - he got you to take the bait so bravo to Pete 🎣
A big part of why RWTB was great is that Lear was embedded with the team. I am expecting this book to be more like Lear's Webb book. Also, Brosnan is an unreliable narrator and as the lead author, the book will probably leave out any interesting, but problematic 'skeleton with a condom stretched over it' or xenophobic anecdotes. I am still looking forward to it, though.
I usually don’t read running books, even though I’ve been coaching and running most of my life. Nothing against Magness and his books, but honestly, his books bore me to death. I’m not trying to insult him—Magness goes deep into sports science, psychology, and behavioral studies, which is great for those who want evidence-based info. But for me, it often feels dry and overly academic when I’m looking for something more narrative or motivational. That said, I just ordered Beyond Fast and hope it’s more exciting. During the Newbury Park era, my teams really looked up to those boys and Brosnan, so there’s got to be something worthwhile in reading it. We shall see.
Brosnan’s book is already number one on Amazon’s New Release list for coaching, and it hasn’t even been officially released yet. It’s beating out some solid authors and tough competition. With the book tour and the release date September 2nd and push just getting started, especially with backing from Simon & Schuster/Atria, this is shaping up to be a huge hit. I genuinely believe this break is going to be massive.
