Brandon Miller just ran a 600 in 1:14.03 600, beating Isaiah Harris by over a second.
Miller's time is the second fastest indoor 600 ever behind Donavan Brazier's 1:13.77. And it's less than a second behind David Rudisha's fastest ever outdoor 600 (1:13.10)
I bet that Brandon Miller and Athing Mu will run faster apart than they did as a couple. I think focusing on track this year instead of the LA party and modelling scene will end up doing them both a lot of good.
Pretty nice splits, too: didn’t slow significantly in the last 200. I would love to see him realize his potential and hit some 1:43s this year. If he’s targeting World Indoors he has to be favored to make the U.S. team after this run.

Isn't his coach sus?
I saw Danny Harris run 2x600 with 15 min rest in 1,14: 1,16. It was outdoor, but still..

If that’s true and accurate, it’s just an incredible workout; it doesn’t change the fact that 1:14.03 is a great indoor 600m time. I will say, as a 400h specialist 600m may have been Harris’s ideal flat distance, and it may be Miller’s sweet spot as well…
Is that Craig Miller's twin brother?
This is great stuff. Always liked Miller and rooted for him. Never thoughthe could run this fast at 600m. A fairly short guy...shorter strides...but he's super tough.

Looks like all of the longer strength based work he's been doing has made him faster.
Strength=Speed. Who knew?

He split sub 45 several times at TAMU. I believe 1x even indoor.

Seriously need peak Hoppel/Miller this year. Both changed coaches and running solid marks in off events. Arrow pointing up for both so far, which is nice.

I think B Miller will run faster although I think it will be less to do with the actual break-up with Athing and more being able to feel free to move on to his own training environment. Let's be honest- Miller being coached by Kersee was an awful move for Miller. No training partners, being in LA, and basically being in that environment for Athing, I would imagine. I hope he really improves this season.

It's the "flex on my ex" season, right in time for the olympics too. Any other top pros in this boat? Asking for a friend.
As an Aggie, this makes me ecstatic for him! He's a great and kind person and I'm glad he finally seems to be having a post-collegiate breakthrough. Let's hope the transition to the Beasts continues to pay-off on his #RoadToParis !!!! Gig 'Em!
I sat next to his grandmother at a high school meet that he was not running in due to injury. We had such a great conversation—she was eager for him to run again but totally there for his teammates and other local standouts like Justin Robinson. I was always very impressed that he did some years of XC in high school and held his own.
I will be thrilled if this STL prodigy makes the Olympics!
