They are letsrun armchair coaches. They know it all.
"Francique has taken a speed-oriented approach with Brazier, dropping his weekly mileage into the 20s."

Brazier's running is phenomenal. But some of his attitude??
After the race, a competitor put his hand on DB's shoulder congratulating, & DB walked like he wasn't there. The interviewers were excited, & he can only bring up LR posts from 5 months ago, ignoring the other threads & articles that praised him. He doesn't want to run XC or even a 1500m again. Then, his cavalier attitude towards the OG's. Plus, anyone who physically motions to god after a race is showboating.
let me guess...you thought Brazier's training was all wrong, and now that you can't second guess his training, you've turned to a new line of attack. if you're looking for someone who acts the way you think they should, you should try match.com

Or maybe instead, I'm right. Like you said- You're guessing.

Donovan Brazier at UCLA today.
Donavan Brazier, FR - Texas A&M, 1:51.56
It's tough to say but I think Brazier's best days might be behind him. It will be hard for him to get momentum back & FloTrack were amongst he experts saying (on their podcast) that he bottled it at NCAAs. I would be surprised if he ever runs under 1:46.55 again.
Sound analysis. Good conclusion.

Seems like the nicest guy from what I've seen!
Congrats on nailing that prediction,
Looking forward to the Trials

I have to say, how many times have you EVER seen an elite 800m guy run a 1:51? I cannot believe he bounced back from that to run 1:43. Literally never happens.
You will be hard pressed to find a 1:43 guy that has ever run 1:50+ in the same season he ran 1:43 in an honest effort race.
