Seems super smooth, should have the low end speed+endurance to do it in the right field.
Seems to have the low end speed that you think he didn't, best of luck to him!

22.64 x 4 = 1:30
he is in 1:30 800 shape730 -
I'm not sure in what world is that "super smooth", but yeah it's a good split for a workout. Might have 1:47 in him right now.

I put ZERO importance on being "smooth," but he looked pretty smooth to me...again, that means NOTHING though.

Smooth = not straining
so 22.64 (or, to be honest, probably low 23s) wasn’t all out for him

Not to be cynical, and maybe he had good acceleration on the straight but that didn’t look “smooth” or to be in the realm of 22.x. I’d think that was a 24 low or MAYBE a 23 high.

So the the cross country national champion that only ran like a 4:06 mile last week is now ready to break a ridiculously good 800m record?
Sure.

I heard Brosnan thinks he’s in 1:44 shape.

I’m sure that he is in shape to run faster than any NAU runner has run in the last 10 years (best NAU=1:49.10)

Aaron tends to race pretty up and down. He ran 1:53 at new balance indoors last year than 1:48 a week later. That being said I don’t think he’ll run 1:46 this year, but he’s got some legit wheels and may go 1:47, which is incredible for an NXN champ.

It's ALL MENTAL.
He needs to watch Granville, Brazier, Symmonds, Wottle, Gray, Webb, Coe, Ovett, Cram, Rudisha, Kipketer, Mahkloufi races over and over. Watch their splits, strategies, wins.
Visualize.

Interesting that you mention Nick Symmonds but not Duane Solomon.

There are plenty that didn't get a mention. Name some names and post some links. Or complain.

if he runs on pure hatred he can probably run that pace for 800m

Many on here analyzing the workout but few interpreting the music. "Hit that pill turn me to a superhero!?!" Is Aaron Sahlman doping?!?! He may well also be "drankin dope" and "be in that flow again" but only time will tell.

Sahlman is going to run knowing the second question they ask after the race will be about the Young Twins. He stays angry

Here's the world all time 800 list. Brazier's US record is tied for #9 all time. Plenty of other Americans not previously listed-
