Sean Brosnan Coach of Nico Young, Tokyo Cancelled, Webb vs Centro vs Symmonds,
The coach of the #1 runner and #1 high school team in America is our special guest.
The Tokyo Olympics are officially postponed and we break down what it means and talk about how the running world is adapting. Plus, we start the debate of who is the best distance runner of all-time, show our love for Alan Webb, have Rojo's rant and special Sean Brosnan., who is arguably the top high school coach in America right now (he coaches the NXN boys team champion Newbury Park and individual champ Nico Young)
Brosnan talks what his runners are doing with the coranvirus shutdown and his rise to the top of coaching ranks in 4 quick years. Prior to coaching Brosnan was a journeyman runner who picked the brains of Alberto Salazar, Jerry Schumacher, Scott Simmons, Joe Vigil, Brad Hudson and many more. He's the new Kevin Bacon of the running world.
