Coach Bobby Kersee revealed that Athing Mu's unconventional 2025 season is designed to help her regain confidence and rebuild mentally after her traumatic fall in 2024.
Athing Mu has had a puzzling start to her 2025 season ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan, in September.
The former Olympic 800m champion started by competing in a 5000m race at the Mt. SAC Relays, a distance she has never run on a track. She competed against collegiate athletes.
Athing Mu ran with the lead pack for the first three kilometres before dropping out. The former world 800m champion followed this with a dominant win in a sparsely attended 1500m race at the Very, Very Last Chance meet in May, clocking 4:21.18.

Our Athletes Deserve Better - Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's Coach Slams Grand Slam Track Cancellation
Bob Kersee has voiced frustration over the cancellation of the LA Grand Slam Track Meet.
Recently, the world 800m silver medallist then finished second in a 1500m heat at the Sound Running Track Fest, running 4:10.70.
It is not unusual for professional runners to begin their seasons with low-key races at off-distances, but Athing Mu’s case has made headlines since she has a track record of always competing in the 800m or scaling down to the 400m, which is still unusual.
Athing Mu’s coach, Bobby Kersee, who also trains Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, has explained his reasoning in an interview with LetsRun.com.

Athing Mu: Bobby Kersee Explains Logic Behind Low-Key 2025 season

Bobby Kersee compared his approach to a baseball manager sending a pitcher to the minor leagues as they gear up for a busy season.
He revealed that the goal was to get Athing Mu comfortable racing in a pack and rediscovering the joy of competition before returning to major competitions.
"If I was a baseball coach…I wouldn’t be criticised. So it’s basically the same thing," Bobby Kersee revealed.

Athletics Kenya Justifies Hosting Trials for World Championships in the US
Barnaba Korir has defended Athletics Kenya's decision to hold the 5000m and 10,000m trials in the US.
His comments might be proof that Athing Mu might still be traumatised from her fall during the women’s 800m at the US Olympic trials in 2024.
The 800m is a tactical race, and Bobby Kersee wants Athing Mu to develop her pack-running skills. Athing Mu's long stride, while advantageous in open running, can be a liability in close quarters.
Kersee acknowledged the lack of competition in Athing Mu's second race but emphasised the importance of pack-running experience, particularly since Mu trains alone.
"I’ve gotta put her in positions to be in a group…just to find a lane, check her stride, get into a rhythm," he explained.
Kersee expressed satisfaction with Mu's performance at the Track Fest, where she targeted a 4:10 finish. He sees Athing Mu as a versatile athlete capable of excelling in the 400m, 800m, and 1500m, believing that 1500m racing will benefit her 800m performance, much like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's use of the 100m hurdles to improve her 400m.
Athing Mu's remaining 2025 schedule is uncertain due to the cancellation of several US meets, but Bobby Kersee hopes to find another race before the Prefontaine Classic in July.
