After the Tinman drama, it’s hard to root for Hunter. I applaud him for taking the big contract but when it’s over he’s done. No one will offer him more than shoes and running gear. Engels seems like a fun guy who loves the lifestyle of a pro without racing well. Hopefully he can find a job through his friends in running so he can stay connected to the sport.

I have believed for a while that Hunter needs to move to 10k and the roads. He does not have the biomechanics to run anywhere near 3:30, or to close a 5k at 53
Just because I was only a 1:56 800 runner doesn’t mean I should have focused on 10ks. I just wasn’t that good.

At least they showed up to race. That’s more than can be said about Hobbs Kessler.
At least Hobbs can actually run a fast time. Engels and Hunter are history

What Tinman drama? So what they fired their coach, that’s way better than the creepy stuff New Gen did

All three will be watching the world championships on television like the rest of us.

They fired their coach in the least professional way possible. They then kept using his name as the name of the group solely because they had already printed it on T-Shirts that they were planning on selling.
In the drama, it came out that they were barely even paying Tinman. He coached them for free for the first year. Tinman didn't get a penny from the merchandise they sold with his name on it. He even moved his family to coach them for next to no pay.
The kicker was hiring Drew's mom to coach the team. She had no high-level coaching experience and she admits she learned everything from Tinman. Instead of investing in a strong, experienced coach they went the cheapest route.
The whole ordeal exposed Tinman elite, and Drew Hunter specifically, as being lowlifes.

Correct me if I'm wrong,
I believe Hunter has a 10 year Adidas Contract (Beginning in 2016). Engels has a 9 year Nike Contract (beginning in 2022).
These guys are laughing at your comments all the way to the bank!

Engels's contract is up in 2026. He signed a 4 year extension in 2022.

Anyone know why Kessler didn’t race the 800 that he was scheduled for (or any other race, for that matter)?

He’s a pretty big guy for that distance. Doubt he could be at the top of the food chain at longer races.

At least Craig was injured and didn’t run for most of the fall and winter. Hard to believe you can compete without a base or just healthy running

Yes, I do. Telling the morons on here would just gaslight another bash Hobbs and Ronnie thread.

Ronnie had a birthday party? Or was it a local park run?

A big fan of Kessler and think he’s handling his business admirably and performing at a very high level, making steady progress, so no hate here—just curious.
