EUGENE (USA): World 800m champion Donavan Brazier has called an end to his season due to a plantar fasciitis problem he had been managing. Pete Julian, the coach of the American, who had won all seven of his races this season, said in a text to Oregon Live that it was “one of those types of injuries that most runners can relate to. Not bad enough to stop but not good enough to bring fuzzy happiness. It’s all always about finding the right combination of what you can and cannot do. As long as he was getting through the training and making a little bit of progress from week to week, and with the support of his doctor, I welcomed the adversity as a teaching tool. He did a great job keeping his head straight and focusing on winning stead of whining. By Stockholm, his foot was feeling better and you could tell in the way he raced.”
