Josh Thompson didn't run great last night, but he was the only American in the 15 final last year. Jager has run 3:32.
So it's not like Jerry can't coach the 15
The training does wear you down tho - on Grant's pod he talked about how he didn't finish a single workout his first year with the team, then was on fire the next year. Also part of why all the Oregon guys redshirted.

He will (and should) abandon the 1500 next year. Stay fresh for the 5000 trials and make the team. He may have had a better shot tonight had he not run Thursday. Not making excuses. Just thinking the 1500 might have sapped him a bit.
Right. The collegiate record holder + '22 national champion + 332 guy thus year - get him away from the event *immediately*.
But hey, this is why you make the big professional coaching bucks, anonymous message board poster.

Who are you talkig about? Waskom was the 22 national champion in the 1500 and i believe Kipsang has run the fastest ever collegiate time in the 1500? Teare wasnt even in college in 2022, he was done after 2021. Teare is never going to be a serious 1500 runner at the international elite level. He can't even make the US team (in any event for that matter).

Teare was the national 1500m champ last year and has the collegiate record in the mile you absolute moran.

This has got to be next level trolling since the 2022 1500 meter national champion is Joe Waskom. Also no one cares about the mile let alone one indoor. Gold medals are awarded for the 1500, pal.
Doesn’t he train with McGorty? Are they doing a lot of workouts together? I wonder if it was apparent in workouts that one was fitter than the other?
They don’t train together. McGorty was training to peak at champs while Teare was buying bucket hats, XXL shirts, and goofy sunglasses for Instagram posts.

VA > Iowa or whatever state Teare is from.
McGorty was injured for parts of spring and winter and never raced until the championships. I honestly just think he was a gamer this weekend.
Sean used to be a 1500/miler type at Stanford. During the COVID year, he had the best 4x4 split on Bowerman when they did those mixed races (I believe 49.high). I think he came mentally prepared even if physically he was nowhere near woody and joe all season long and he came away being the only guy on BOTH teams*

Yes I know he still needs to chase standards
McGorty is talented but it seemed to me Klecker just had a tactical mess up. He was tracking Woody, probably not wanting Woody to track him and then kick past as usual, but Woody clearly didn’t have it. Klecker ended up wayyyy back at the bell and almost pulled it out but couldn’t quite make up that much space.
bummer — good reminder to run your own race and not get drawn in by assumptions about how others will run
post race interview says it all....not sure he was terribly happy with prep.
Sounds like a great kid. Hope things work out for him.
wow he sounded REALLY UNHAPPY with his coach.
He should leave. Seriously. It seems like Jerry just completed ignored him. It was not individualized training, he is a different type of runner than Grant and others.
The whole group underachieved. Jerry's new job means he is neglecting the pro athletes.
Cooper don't waste any more of your prime years under a coach that doesn't understand you or listen to you.
I forget what meet the interview was after but shortly after signing with BTC he talked about how it’s easy to switch teams as a professional runner and made it clear BTC wasn’t definitely a long term thing. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t leave.
People on this site have such short term memories and are incredibly negative, especially towards Teare for whatever reason…
Teare won USAs last year with Ben Thomas, but then ended up injured and was out of worlds in the first round. Hocker was injured last year and didn’t even make it out of the rounds at USAs. I remember all the posts bashing Ben Thomas and the New OTC/NGTF, saying that Teare and Hocker should quit training with college buddies and go with a pro team, that Thomas screwed up because he injured his top guys for USAs/Worlds … and now everyone says he should go back ?
The truth is that no coach will ever be 100% in distance running. A good athlete needs to put their trust in their coach and program throughout the harder times. I think copper will be successful at BTC, and it’s not rare for athletes to struggle/have growing pains in their first year with a new group.

How can a pro coach not individualize training? What am I missing?
