Socialing the Distance-Donavan Brazier, Clip 1, Thoughts on Doha 2019...

RunBlogRun presents Socialing The Distance with Larry Eder Featuring Donavan Brazier Clip 1 – Thoughts on Doha 2019

In this clip 1, we speak with the 2019 WC gold medalist at 800m, Donavan Brazier, on his memories on Doha, where he took the gold the old fashioned way-he earned it.

In the 800m final, Brazier was poised to move. He hit the 400m in just 49 seconds and by 500 meters, that long stride and high arm stride was doing what it does best-move away from his competitors.

What I noticed about Donavan was that win changed him. The scuttlebutt had been tough on Donavan. Was he able to win the big ones? Could he hold up under pressure?
