Brad Mason Ranked First In The Country

Run SMART client Brad Mason reached the All American standard in the 800M at the Drake Relays last weekend. Mason, of Beloit, KS, broke his 3-year old personal best at age 46 finishing fourth overall in the masters division in 2:06.64! Check out the full results on ESPN. This time ranks him 1st in the country in the M45 age group. [Masters Rankings]

After the race Brad’s Run SMART coach Brian Rosetti said, “We spent about 15-weeks gearing towards 2:06 and Brad hit it right on the dot! I think he was :63 at the quarter so he actually left a little time out there but this was his first race of the year. It’s very difficult to run your best in the 800M when you haven’t raced much so I expect big things from Brad this summer at the Masters Nationals in Chicago. He’s working very hard right now.”
