Now he’s run 143 and signing up to race the second fastest man in history. Do you think he’s ready for that level? What has changed? What are your expectations for the race and how has he looked in the last month?[/b][b]Also I know you told me with your NAU teams you don’t talk about the NCAA’s XC title. With Brazier, what are you focused on? Do you talk to him about USA’s? The US team is super hard to make. What are you guys focusing on a daily basis?[/b][b]Best of luck.[/b]Here was his reply.[b]Coach Smith: [/b][i]Hey Robert-[/i][i]Brazier has continued to look strong without any setbacks since his first competitions. I think the most significant change is now there are plenty of eyes on him, his return to the sport is no longer under the radar. He’s known the spotlight his whole career, this doesn’t seem to affect him.[/i][i]London DL is only his 3rd race back, so focus is on continuing to be patient with relearning this game, remembering how this feels, problem solving out there. This one is fast and a crowded field, I expect him to have to navigate instincts and emotions on the fly, which is crucial for USA meet. Success for him is just getting another one down![/i][i]Yeah, good last question, I think language is important in coaching around a championship. I have not talked to him about making the US team and I probably won’t. But what we will be laser focused on is executing in each of his rounds, including the final round. This event, this year, will reward mindsets and you will see that soon.[/i][i]Hope that helps![/i]

You saw right there why Hunter-Bell might just do the 800 only at Worlds.
She talked about it with me in Philly and it seemed wild at the time but now you see why. She could win it.
Super impressive. And the whole time I was watching that race, I was thinkiing to myself, "She's going to wreck these women." And she did.
I still don't get why these people want to go out in 56.5 unless they think they are going to run 1:54.

Now that you mention it, its a bit odd that the trend of more conservative first laps has only really been in the guys races so far.

Positioning could have been better but she was not beating Hunter-Bell today. I really like the patience here. Just run like this at USA’s and she should make the team easily.

Yes, this is fair. I was yelling at her to swing wide at 150, lol

re: wejo

Someone who came out of nowhere to be one of the best middle distance runners in the world at aged 30 after showing and doing nothing her whole career. Still not buying it. Too good to be true and it probably is

I think Wiley is more than a contender, she's the favorite for USAs right now.

Tactically, I thought she ran much better today than she has been. She was patient on the first lap and made sure she saved something for the last 150m. I wouldn't call it great tactics though. She was right behind Hunter Bell with about 120m to go but panicked a bit and went wide around Maloney. Hunter Bell was also boxed at that point but was more patient. She waited in the home straight and wound up running less distance/using less energy than Wiley.

To be fair to Wiley though, she was in a tough spot. Maloney was struggling the last 200 but there wasn't really a great window to pass her. I understand why she felt she needed to go wide but I think you saw the difference between Wiley and Hunter Bell today -- Hunter Bell is fitter and a bit more patient.

My only issue with Wiley being the favorite is her relative inconsistency, especially when it REALLY counts. She's run some great races - but hasn't really put it together on the big stage.

Yes to the rest though. The patience is what counts to me - I respect her for always running brave but learning how to sit back is important as well.

Also, good to see GHB has gotten back on her protocol.

re: Jonathan Gault

Really liked Wiley's run.

Good tactics - didn't take a chance waiting for an inside window to open, made a confident move that she was fit enough for to put herself in contention.

Last 150 showed she's a more fit than everyone except Hunter-Bell

I'll give WIley a pass there. Maloney was just hanging in that spot off the front of her shoulder FOREVER. Hunter Bell didn't have that same view. Easy to think Maloney is never gonna get out of the way. You wait one second too long, and somebody can make a move to get away before you have a chance to respond.

re: great run from Wiley

Reekie has to stop leading. Did the same at pre as today and had bad final 100s as a result. Ran 2:31 1000 last week and went through 800 faster than she did today, don’t know why she doesn’t relax more.

Right now women's 800 at USAs and worlds truly unpredictable. Very tight grouping in terms of talent and current performance. I'd be more interested in seeing Kipyegon run the 800 than the 5000 in Tokyo.
