Donovan Brazier is done.

Really just bizarre stuff from ventolin here

make that stoopid

what part of summer is it 4/24/16 ?

It was you that said Brazier will be running 1:42 in summer

what part of 4/24/16 is "summer" ?

Just as I said

drivel

I really don't know what you are arguing about

kid

pass your

SATS

When exactly did I even insinuate that it is summer yet?

We have yet to see if Brazier runs 1:42 Ventolin, because as you have cleverly pointed out, it is not yet summer.

All I was confirming was that it was indeed you that predicted 1:42. Which you have since confirmed. And so we will all wait eagerly to find out if you are right.

Once again, unsure what you are trying to argue about.

All Brazier did this weekend was run on the TAMU 4X4 that ran 3:02.96, good for #7 time in the world, average time 45.74. Now, unless everyone else on the relay ran 44-point...

Totally washed up.

I swear wannabe competitive distance runners are the biggest pile of trash on the planet.

He just ran an easy 1:45 at NCAA Outdoors.

He looked fantastic. And it was 1:45.06, almost 1:44's relaxed.

He has GOT to do the trials, if he's still considering not to. When fighters get a title shot or football teams qualify for the playoffs- they don't forfeit.

1:45.06, jogged the last 30m. Could've gone 1:44 mid no doubt. What a monster.

No kidding. Looked easy easy jogging. Wow. Awesome to watch that.

Ryun's junior record is in danger, he could run 1:43.4 tomorrow.

Oh yeah, anything slower than 1:42 flat would be a huge disappointment!

I mean, walked the last 100 meters? That's astounding!

Awesome call!

this kid is a phenom and of course they're training him all wrong.

He needs more BASE. they cut his mileage way back. remember this kid almost beat fisher in an indoor mile in h.s. if they give him some miles under his belt, with his natural speed endurance, this kid will be a monster and he won't crash and burn like we're seeing.

Too bad Brazier did not have more BASE!

Can you imagine if they begin to train him properly how fast he will run? Probably would have broken 1:42 easily!

Well I think it'd be interesting if he tried the mile and ran well under 3:55.

That 1:43? Notice hardly out of breath.

Nice run!

This really shows that quite a few people on this thread are retarded idiots who needs to STFU.

Hahahaha. Running 1:46-1:47, then all of a sudden mid1:43. Yeah, interesting progression. Not suspicious at all...

Well, he ran a 4:07 mile in high school and was strong enough here to walk down McBride in the final 150m, even after a 24/50 opening and with McBride having been running 60 mpw for endurance. He may not want to do a 1500m, but if McBride has at this point a bit more 400m speed (45.36 split the other day vs. Brazier's 45.75) and has run 3:41 this year, what could Brazier run at 1500m? For comparison, the stocky Nick Symmonds has run 1:42.95/1:43.03 and 3:34 1500m and Clayton Murphy, likely a 1:44 guy this year and world's qualifier last year, ran 3:36 off of Yorks' 2:53 1200m. A couple other relatively recent examples: DK--1:43 high and 3:31.9; Kaki--1:42/3:31. Brazier showed this weekend that the training has worked out very well for him. I'd still like to see what he could run for 1500m this year. And we'll see how their philosophy works out in year two, but the kid looks like there is no end to the potential right now.

Well, kind of. Brazier is yet to run 1:42.

Also Ventolin's prediction wasn't quite what it seems:

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=7360591&page=2

He claims Brazier was in 1:42 shape in January, and has actually lost 800m ability due to his short time of injury. Disregarding the fact that there has been 4/5 months of good training between that 1:45.9 indoor run and now.

I will say it straight: I was sceptical of Brazier's ability. I did not think he would be running 1:43 this summer and made that clear. I turned out to be wrong.

But there were other posters that stated they think Brazier will be running 1:43 by summer based on him improving over the coming months, not Ventolin. They recognised his immense talent based on his indoor run and didn't state that the indoor run itself was worth 1:42/1:43 on an outdoor track with drafting etc. etc.

They deserve credit where it is due.

Brazier's running is phenomenal. But some of his attitude??

After the race, a competitor put his hand on DB's shoulder congratulating, & DB walked like he wasn't there. The interviewers were excited, & he can only bring up LR posts from 5 months ago, ignoring the other threads & articles that praised him. He doesn't want to run XC or even a 1500m again. Then, his cavalier attitude towards the OG's. Plus, anyone who physically motions to god after a race is showboating.
