Donavan brazier says he has never run an hour in his life

Ppl arent slow but lack something...why does a sprinter needs to run for one hour unless its in intervals? Who sprints or runs hard for one straight hour?

Wow, really? I ran an hour non-stop before and am nowhere near as elite as him lol

He's never heard of that great 800m runner Peter Snell? Or his coach Arthur Lydiard?

I think if he implemented a long run once a week, he would benefit greatly. He is basically just made up fast twitch muscles with minimal endurance. I think he could be even faster

Yeah neither have I

Seems like a really cool, down to earth guy. But he's a monster on the track.

Running is specific to the individual. Some people need high mileage, some need low mileage, it varies between person to person. Also, miles in the tank is massively important. He’s probably been running since he could walk ...

Lmao what? This so cap. He ran 4 years of cross country in high school?

Breaking news Usain Bolt has never run a mile

An hour is a long fucking time to run.

He’s so nice about the interview, sounds like a good guy. That’s awesome

It's not surprising that someone who is best suited to middle distance running has never run non stop for an hour.

What sport is this?

That's because he runs for 59 minutes, obviously

Quality over Quantity! .....your welcome. If you trainin for speed endurance you'll develop speed endurance.

Yes he does. I’ve seen him running before much longer than an hour.

why would he?

go donovan go

Interviewing athletes directly after competing is unreasonable. Hasn’t even caught his breath yet.

My son runs a 14 mile long run and runs the 800m and 1 mile....cant believe he never runs over an hour 😮

It’s crazy that me as a high school sophomore and him as a world class runner run the same amount. And I have at least ran a hour before

Well I feel better now knowing that I’m better than a world class athlete at something.

One of the greatest athlete on the planet

This guy speaks so fast and not clearly that it is almost impossible to understand him. Please make an effort to express yourself better in front of the media.

Yeah, there is a lot of 400m runners successful in 800m. ( alberto juantorena ) cant make it in 1500m with that mileage though

Well he never needs to go over 10 miles. 10 miles for some people will be over an hour. An easy 10 mile run will be less than an hour for brazier

Reporter: But I mean In terms of growth, maturity, how do you feel about yourself?
Donavan: I think I grew about a half an inch, so physically, I'm good.

mic drop.

That's so crazy that he never runs more than 1 hour !
I know throwers that do 1 hour runs in off season 😂

Yea I run cross country and I only have done a 6.5 mile run and 800m runners really don’t need it

To put things in perspective, Donovan Brazier can run faster than 10.5 in the 100m and can split 45 in the 4x400m. When you have that much foot speed, runs longer than an hour are not necesarry to produce fast results in the 1500m and down. The fact is, he has more natural speed than just about all distance runners. David Rudisha is another example of an 800m runner who could run a 45 second 400m and look where that got him!

600/800M is all speed endurance and strength. Fast track workouts, hills, strength work, and tempo runs go a long way.

love his interviews and his mindset

He’s the best in the US take notes

The Oregon project logo on his chest ??!!...This facility is Nike's doping infirmary !!!!

The east africans have shown why long runs are vital... Even after running championship races they are not out of breath, they walk around.. While other athletes are on the ground breathless.

Kid needs a slap

I ran over 2 hours today 😐 and can’t even break 10 in the 2 Mile, meanwhile he runs like 3 miles lol

Yeah just don't capitalize the B in Brazier lmfao

he kinda seems like an a hole

Why are people shocked that he doesn’t train at 30x+ the duration of his event?

Why the hell is he so hyper😂😂

"I don't post my workouts on Instagram for reassurance from high school runners" @BRENDA MARTINEZ LMAOOOOOO

I kind of like his swagger

I mean its only an 800 but i would still think that he would run more than an hour

I guess there’s no need for him to go for him to go run longer then 10 miles

I have run for 2 hours before when I was 15 years old non competition.
