The guy is a total joke! Title of video says tempo with a 4:37 last mile, but that wasn't him, actually he only goes half the distance with a 5:30 last mile and looks spent. He is nothing without You Tube! He never made a NCAA National Championship for track. He was dead last in the regional meet and last at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. A total joke!

You sure spend a lot of time watching, analyzing, bitching and posting about someone you claim to dislike. The joke you refer to is in your mirror.

You realize that you are supporting him by watching his videos and even more by talking about them? It's only making him more known.
He cares about being talked about/getting further known, and if all it takes to get some trolls/haters to bite is to create a misleading title he succeeded in his endeavor.
The same is true for Brooks Beasts. They didn't recruit him because they believe he is on the level of Garrett Heath / Isaac / Allie etc., or because they believe he has an actual shot at making the Olympics, but because he is a "public figure" with a huge following (for a T&F athlete) that brings a lot of publicity to Brooks Beasts.
Yes, he is using the impressive runs of his fellow Brooks athletes to clickbait his videos. Yes, he is using it to cause controversy and make sure he is being talked about in LRC and other forums, because his running skill alone isn't enough for that anymore. And yes, he is very successful at it! How much money do you make off running? How much does he make? He makes a ton more than the average 4:00-4:10 miler (his current shape), in fact he is probably making most (running-related) income out of all 4:00-4:10 milers, and more than most 3:53-4:00 milers.

I dunno if he ran 3:39 for 1500m, I’m pretty sure he ran at the NCAA championships

1. So what? He never claimed it would be him. It's a group session where some of the guys that were being filmed finished at that pace.
2. He also doesn't go half the distance, he goes 6 out of 8 miles, idiot, which was the prescribed session for him apparently and he finished on a 5:19 not 5:30.
3. Also he's readjusting to altitude.
Conclusion: You literally just sound jealous.

Personally I love the beasts videos as we get to see actual workouts down by world class guys and the difference between guys that are pushing 3:50 and the ones around 4:00. Granted altitude makes it bid hard to evaluate stuff but is anyone really impressed by a 4:37 mile? Thats like 8-10k pace for these guys. I hope we get to keep seeing these workouts in a 3 months when they start doing the hard stuff.
And my take away is that right now the AS aerobic capacity is pretty crappy for a guy who should be aiming at like a 3:55 mile in the spring. How much of that is COVID and the like is yet to be determined. If he doesn't pick it up over the next 6 months, I expect this will be a short experiment.
fair points, I would just maybe bring us back to the point that he only did as he was prescribed to, so presumably it fits into the coach's wider plans
How dare he!
Got you to post about it on LRC like a master bater, he's living in your head rent free.

Why so much dislike for someone that you likely don’t even know? This is exactly the kind of shît that’s wrong with our world now.

Fast!
I think Spencer could run a 3:37 1500 this year, looks like they’re just doing base-building for now.

Meaning he could make great leaps going from the bad training to good training

Well he did have COVID so I would imagine that hurt his future a lot.
