    When will Jon Gault get an exclusive interview with Parker? She should be the next guest on the podcast.

    Coogan is a women’s coach and the dullest personality ever to coach pros. I hope Wolfe is smarter than running for him in Boston. Nothing is good about training in Boston for a woman’s brand. The one dude he coached at New Balance was a compete flop.

    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!

    I had a team mate run pro and had a meeting with New Balance. Granted this was a while ago but he was basically told we sponsor athletes to sell things. Distance men don’t sell things. Fast, attractive women? They sell lots of products for us.

    They follow the money. The New Balance line up for years and stayed PRETTY consistent.

    I think we’re really lucky to have her (Valby) and we’re excited and I know New Balance as a whole, the company is excited, and hopefully she keeps getting better and better and represents the US well, New Balance well, and herself really well. Now we should try to get the other Parker. I want the other Parker now, Parker Wolfe.

    Why not form the nucleus of a male training group around the Blanks/ Wolfe duo? That could be the New Balance equivalent of Hocker/Teare. If Wightman's contract is up after the olympic year, they could have some money to work with. He's not getting renewed at the same rate with his age and recent injury history.

    At least one smart guy will figure out that running for NB will give him the chance to be in the Valby/Smartguy running power couple

    But he needs to get training partners for Wolfe. An all female team is not enticing.

    If he’s a straight man, it’s pretty enticing lol. Now running wise, not so much

    Wightman

    (Blanks)

    Perhaps NB is realizing they haven’t been promoting equality by having predominantly sponsored women (good looking ones only need apply).

    Maybe they will toss some crumbs to men.

    Training in Boston is terrible for Distance running and he would have no training partners. Parker Wolfe would be an idiot to run for New Balance.

    Let's go tempo in the bike path. yay

    This is somehow controversial?

    A city with harsh winters and not at altitude just isn't a great place to train....
