    Very cool to see some of the Flagstaff-based guys come together for this! (TT was in Cottonwood, AZ, at 3000 feet)

    I had Wightman at 2:14.3 (running start). That's just a little off his 2:13.88 pb from August 2022, just after he won Worlds. He and Kessler look fit and ready to go this weekend. Wightman's last 200 was 24-mid. Very quick.

    Brazier got dropped the last 200. Curious how much of that was him not being strong enough right now vs. not wanting to go too deep in the well in practice.

    My best time was 2:08 for the 1000yd

    It’s honestly cool seeing these guys together in a workout. You don’t see this often when people have their own coaches/teams.

    I concur. One new balance athlete, one adidas, one nike, and one under armour

    Bobby Kersee needs to see this ASAP. A fascinating discovery on how one can run in a pack, and it’s not even a D3 race at Occi.

    Bobby Kersee has coached athletes to more Olympic medals than all four of these guys' coaches.

    Combined.

    Great video. Also an example of when people try to guess runners running longer distances. I’m sure a lot of people would say a 1.43 guy would cruise through in 1.49. But he got dropped as soon as they passed 800.

    Well, it depends on the 1:43 guy, doesn't it?

    Brazier says he has been training 30 mw this year lol.

    re: agentcooper

    you do not want to PR in training, and leave it on the practice track.

    as a miler, id want plus 3 or 4 seconds above PR.

    as a 5000 guy, id race it,

    Eh, maybe he backed off so people would be less suspicious of his supplement stack.

    Or he's not in the same training phase as the guys he's running this with. The three guys ahead of him are all running the Bowerman mile in a week in a possible WR attempt.

    I think it's a combination of all of it. He did not attempt to increase his turnover on the back stretch when Kessler and Wightman took off. Getting injured doing this in practice would be incredibly stupid. He knew they were flying and probably saw no point in risking it with a low chance of winning anyway. 2:13 is definitely within his capability

    Or maybe he had done some reps/work in the session prior to this 1K that left him more tired than the other guys.

    Or maybe he had done a hard session in the days leading up to this leaving him with less in the tank than the other guys.

    A million reasons could explain it, but we'll never know.

    What I do know is that it is extremely strange to watch strangers speculate on it for days on end. Go touch grass, or another human, you dweebs. Lol.
