Stupid workout.

Brosnan is to Young as Salazar is to Rupp.

The coach made the athlete but the coach will be the downfall of the athlete.

Rupp is still America’s greatest distance runner of All Time. Medals and Records count, not words. Nico is on his way to legendary status.

27:30 10k workout! Except great things.

Thanks for checking in, Nico.

He's going 27:36 10k pace on soft grass, or 22 low 8k pace. However, 3 minutes standing rest is a good deal. This does indicate that he will likely run 13:50+/-5-10 seconds for 5000m on the track, as well as better than 8 flat for 3k outdoors (2:40/k).

No, it's his 5k pace. Nico's 8:40 3200 would make his 3200 paces 2:42, and he's more fit than that now.

Never trust a guy with that type of accent.

I have seen most of these type of workout videos the last decade or so, and this IMO is the best. Shooting, editing, narrative. Topnotch.

Interesting contrast between Nico, "Mr. Strugglebus" and the #2 (Jace?) who is almost too efficient. And the 3-5 guys are right behind them. Impressive team in every way.

How does the coach make the athlete?

Coaching 101: 50% of it is the athlete's DNA

25% of it is the athlete's life outside of training (school, sleep, diet, stress, etc, etc.)

25% of it is the training prescribed by the coach.

As coach's we love to suck our own dicks about an athlete's success. Newsflash: it's not us.

Laughed at this. Love it.

Honestly though, Brosnan will supercharge these athletes for a time but I hope they are doing more sustainable stuff most of the time. Claiming that you are only racing hard 3x a year but then doing 3 workouts that are harder on the body than a race is no different than the coaches that race every weekend. Clearly he is doing well short term, interested to see how his athletes do later on and if they go the way of most of the York guys.

Is 7x1k at 5k pace with equal rest time 3 minutes really that hard of a workout? My Team used to do 8x800m at 2-miles with 2:30-3-minute rest and it wasn't that hard.

Speak for yourself about every aspect of this post. Especially the autogratification bit.

Sean is developing kids from NP. Hate all you want but everyone on this thread wishes they were coaching NP boys & girls team, maybe except Doug Soles. The top 2 HS coaches are from Southern California.

Nico Young better than Galen Rupp in HS.

Nico headed with Wetmore to CU

Forget the workout. Who’s the tall hot coach? The boys are just running fast to impress her. She leaves and NP ranking plummets next year.

Jace's form reminds me of a mix of Ritz and Alberto. Future marathoner
