Workout Wednesday: Michael Norman And Rai Benjamin Hit 350m Reps

[@tabletop4455]

"stay back in the backseat michael! rai driving this car" so funny love the coach

[@TheBugatti953]

Dont understand why he has to stay back...

[@Birdlegs14]

@@TheBugatti953he was trying to teach him to be patient. Which he explained in the video. Talk less listen more.

[@maxvelocity3990]

​@@TheBugatti953he's teaching him how to run the rounds. Michael had an extra rep that the coach wanted him to hit in a certain time. If he presses to hard on rep 2 his 3rd reps falls off and he loses

[@RobertCarrier-99]

Wow this shows how the coach the whole time knew to get Mike to be patient in these reps that would help with the rounds. Coach 100% was correct, Mike's first round was too fast and it cost him these olympics. Good job by coach

[@solomonhiggins4576]

It’s good to see them two back to training with each other

[@cwhiting]

Trying to be a 100 guy

[@Kingmcnastylive]

For a second I thought this was old ,but seen your comment and was like yess. Cause there best friends and I’m happy they back running with each other cause Raj came out and said it did hurt a little when Micheal went a different route but good that he back

[@Kenaz2226]

Maaaaaan i been waiting for years to get a full inside look at these two training lol. Rai being my favorite runner and to me has the best stride and form. This was dope to see

[@WayneBalmain]

Coach Q explanation on the importance of staying within the training times was amazing. Practice reps are exactly meet rounds

[@Bronxxxnyc]

Who can beat a healthy Michael Norman? NO ONE. This is Michael's year!

[@lg_ada2695]

A healthy Gardner

[@Bronxxxnyc]

@@lg_ada2695 .....That would be a dream match up if both are healthy. I would still pick Norman; as all of his PR's are slightly better and I think Norman is more hungry.

[@casanjt8515]

A healthy wade a back to 400m kerley 😂

Quincy Wilson 😂

Been waiting a long time for this Workout Wednesday! Two of the best talents of their generation ...hope it all comes together in Paris! 🏃🏽‍♂🏃🏽‍♂

[@marycotton4910]

Great… the band is back together again. Let’s break the Olympic 4x400 relay record. Now I trust Deadmon, he’s always been consistent…I’m still looking for the 4th man. I’m excited!!!

[@tamasbrenyo1348]

I honestly thought Norman is out for a good time. But I'm glad he's back, hopefully he can get back to the 43.5 zone.

[@pipes6414]

Rai so happy now!😌 he got his guy back!

[@macharlem]

Love watching these guys compete. Couldn’t be happier for Rai. Wish I knew what happened to Michael, seemed like one min he was in the finals with the fastest qualifying time. The next he came across the line last and was off the relay. I can believe that was all mental, or maybe it was. Which is ok and doesn’t take away from any of his amazing achievements. Just never heard a it addressed and I hope he knows his fans , real track fans want to know, but mostly hope he is ok. Hope you guys are still working together. 1 + 1 > anything one can do on its own. When you do well you grow the sport. That’s a period. 🇺🇸

[@lizardlordlordoflizards5096]

Quincy is a legend. I thought his Barca semi final performance ( though slower than his final time ) was super impressive and easy: looked like if he had put the hammer down, he could have run 43:2/3.

[@threatened2024]

Watts 43.1 on the 2nd leg(!) in Barcelona is still the greatest 4 x 4 leg of all time, for me.

[@juanpablo7434]

8:18 Michael stay baaaack!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MattAnyiwo]

Very effective coaching !

[@adrianyang2192]

those spikes are nice

[@edreyneres8789]

Now you gotta go to Tumbleweed bro , so curious to see how Bromell, Jacobs and De grasse put in the work

Just two boys who dreamed and trained together and realised their dreams.Two champions

[@CerroneThompson]

Finally a elite workout Wednesday

[@owenwesterhout]

8 Laps of cool down! Never heard of that. Pretty cool insight.

[@tchai91]

It’s mental. No point at all in this.

[@daniel25083]

USC has to have the best sprint coaching staff in track history. These guys look incredible and they’re continuing to produce world class athletes it’s mind blowing

[@daniel25083]

I’ve never even seen any of their athletes fatigue in the 400.

[@Gasperracing]

Looked like a beautiful day on the track

[@colt_45.]

They should both be on the olympic 4x4 team

[@nathanplant9893]

FloTrack, you have a competitor in "Track All-Access". Their videos are so much more high quality than your videos, including a timer on the screen for the reps. Also your title says 300m reps when they are clearly doing 350m reps. Look we appreciate you making these videos and giving us access to the pros, but when you guys charge so much for your membership and pretty much buy out all other emerging competitors in the track media industry, we as track fans just expect more from you. More effort and more thought and care into your product.

Only person missing is Fred!

[@crazysprinter5626]

Crazy how rai is now the 2024 Olympic champ😌

[@alvarojrgalo926]

Wow this duo will be tough to beat

[@aaronday305]

Can someone explain what happened to Norman last yr.....He ran at at Mt. Sac and U.S. champs then disappeared for the rest of the year

[@tiffanyw.vandermeulen2624]

From what I understand he decided to drop down to the 100. He ended up getting injured and was out for the rest of the season. I’m happy he stepped back into the 400, definitely his specialty.

[@aaronday305]

Ok, i didnt know he was injured. I want to see him as a 200m - 400m combo sprinter. He has run 19.7 twice as a pro with very few races. I believe he can run 19.5

[@BahtiyorXodjiyev]

Norman you best bro hello in Uzbekistan

[@bhtdcrilin3517]

Why do that cross arm of Rai position in the start?

[@njbpaul]

Is Fred Kerley coach by Watts?

[@MalingaPeries-no6vy]

Yes

[@njbpaul]

@@MalingaPeries-no6vy interesting. I thought the move to coach watts was to start back training for the 400m

[@copper5r660]

How much rest?

[@CRUSHENGLISH]

Coach I don't wanna do these sessions. What did they do for you? WELL Olympic champ 1992 ,4 & 4 x4plus 1993 4x4 WC. Stick with it son!

[@titanrex29]

One day in the future I want to beat Michal Norman in the 400m

[@cccccrrrr]

how many 300s? what time?

Where is Fred?? Rai back with last coach?

This prolly a reupload

[@solomonhiggins4576]

I think Fred left wats, and yea rai moved back to USC

[@wdai03]

What's up with their postures? Their upper back are hunched

[@kaikenjr]

I want Benjamin to get away from Norman. He has a inner beast but it will never come out with unstable Norman around.

[@goldcanine_8751]

Is Fred not training with them anymore?

[@MalingaPeries-no6vy]

He is!

[@htap]

8 lap cooldown???

[@Sough]

Around the path or building not track I think

[@cornellstephenson3057]

I loved training and competing on that track. It felt smaller than most tracks even though they are all 400 meters.

[@ubercopywriter]

Quincy is an awesome coach. Btw, Michael is a champion athlete that doesn't stay in the backseat. It's not in his DNA.

[@raquelandrescagigasbermejo7680]

Sub 43 Mike.

[@lc3993]

I wonda how fast would a cheetah run, if Carl Lewis would train it

[@ryancaldwell9392]

Why does he want Michael to sit in the back seat ?

[@Kenaz2226]

He explained after the third rep. MN has a tendency to not be patient and always want to jump the gun at times. He wanted Rai to control the pace so mike can learn patience and also be uncomfortable with being patient; so he can learn. That’s why he let Mike lead the first so Rai can be uncomfortable because he’s comfortable at being patient. Mike also has a quicker pace. He showed Mike that when he went to pass Rai, he was a bit more tired on the last. Again, showing him to be patient. Had he sat, he would’ve executed the last one much better.

[@flair2603]
