Anonymous asked: Hey, Brent, are you planning to run the Marathon Trials?
Yes, sir, I am! I’ll be on the starting line in Houston in January. It will be my marathon debut. I will still plan on running the Track Olympic Team Trials next summer, also.
Marathon training has been going really well and I’m looking forward to it.
800m Time Trial did not go as well as expected. Still unded up with my third fastest time ever(unofficially)- 2:04.1. I totally died the last 200m, but it was good practice. I ran hard! Thanks so much to the guys our there helping me, especially Jon Riley, the perfect pacer!!

Anonymous asked: Hey-I'm a personal trainer/track and field coach pursuing my running goals and I followed you guys a lot when you were with Jay Johnson. I really enjoyed the posted training videos to get insight on what your supplemental training consisted of. So, hows training in Oregon going? What made you guys decide to leave Colorado?
Hello,
Great questions. We decided to leave Colorado for Brent to join Jerry Schumacher’s group here in Beaverton. The group offers a lot of world class training partners with whom Brent can train. Also, the resources here at Nike are unmatched.
That said, we loved Colorado, and always will. We will be back someday. This was a career move, but Boulder will always be our home. We also loved working with Jay Johnson and our training partners there. We will miss it, but this is something we had to do.
So far it’s going really well. Sara has PR’d by 3 seconds in the 1500m. Brent was injured when we left Boulder, but he’s back to training now. We’re hoping for a big 2012!!
Chris Cook, Sara’s new coach, shared with us this great article about a proper warm-up. Check it out!
