Guess you missed the Tinman firing thread where same was given as the reason.
Because of the Shelby news. He doesn’t want to be next to test positive.
Hunter's best events are the 800 and 1500? His hips and shoulders move more than his feet! The only coach who could fix that form is AlSal, because I’m sure AlSal watched one one race of Hunter and likely said it’s amazing he runs as fast as does.
Plus finishing speed. Hocker would leave Hunter standing still in the final lap.
Don’t get me wrong - I’ve always wanted Hunter to succeed. He just needs to make some hard decisions on how he will run his best.
Although Tinman was completely oblivious to it, AlSal isn’t the only distance coach who understands biomechanics.
Time for him to move on in life.Nice kid needs to find himself. He was pushed into running by his parents ,it's practically the family business. He never really showed any real drive in the sport.

I read the thread and that was not the reason TME fired him. It did seem, however, that he had the same obsession as you with injecting politics into everything.

Tinman is more to blame for his injuries than the shoes. He never fixed Drew's form. And somehow his "keep the ball rolling" philosophy injured most of the team.
I wouldn't be so sure about that... ^^

Thanks. Didn't know this. Transitioning E. Africans to cycling has also apparently been tried without much success (??) Then again the Canadian sub-four runner Woods has found some success in grand tours.
Woods is Israel Start Up Nations leader at the TdF this year.
I can point you at a handful of very good cyclists who came from running, and were ho-hum on the running end. I always figured an excellent athlete at one would be excellent at the other, but that's not the case - far as I've seen in 20+ years of bike racing.

His hips and shoulders should move; move around his spine; the spinal engine. His issue is ..he’s crooked and cranked up to one side…
Shelbo news is GREAT for Tinman...might sell out of their newest ~Break-Up Collection~ Merch. Douche meets Dumb
Please update this thread title to:
Drew Hunter not running ever again??

To everyone bashing Tinman, I was going to post the opposite.
Does Drew's DNS prove that Tinman wasn't the problem? Guy may just be like Ritz - injury prone. They fired tinman in like January and nothing has changed. Still struggling with injuries. If you have love bone density or some odd mechanics, sometimes there's not much you can do. I coached a guy at Cornell and he had like 7 stress fractueres before I got him and he'd never run more than 30 mpw.
If the Olympic Trials went as scheduled in 2020, Hunter would not have been healthy enough for that either. Sometimes you get in a vicious cycle of injuries and it's really hard to get out of it. Tinman STARTED that cycle of injuries and now his mom is trying to clean up the mess.
In even the most favorable viewpoint of Tinman, he was not able to produce better results than Drew's mom - they both had them injured for the Olympic Trials (Tinman in 2020).
Stop ragging on the poor guy! He's accomplished more in a few short running years than most of the people on this board will accomplish in a lifetime. Plus, he's a super nice and humble, which is more than you can say about a lot of runners. If anything, that likely hurt him when he went pro and more seasoned folks used him for their own ends.
Past couple of years aside -- and remember, before his injuries, he had qualified for the Olympics -- he's got a bright future. Runners switch coaches, teams and training all the time; he'll find what works again. For all the ragging here on his form, his business acumen (how many here have launched a brand), his injury-proneness, his mom's coaching, Drew's got talent, and perhaps more important, he has heart. You could see it in high school and you could see it when he took down more experienced pros.
Too much of the vitriol on here smacks of jealousy and a lack of imagination.
and remember, before his injuries, he had qualified for the Olympics --
He qualified for Worlds, not the Olympics. and that was only because the runners weren't allowed to chase the standard at the trials. Woody should have qualified, not him
Great Post!
You can't write the guy off yet. He's young and clearly has potential. Is Adidas less than happy about the situation? You bet! Is Drew less than happy about the situation? You bet! That's a lot of money to throw at someone who wasn't in a solid training group situation and with an inexperienced coach. Besides the injury bug issues (which could de-rail everything), Drew needs to get with an experienced coach (Ritz, BTC, OTC, Brooks Beast, Mike Smith-NAU), put his head down, shut up, and just RUN. There are so many options available and he has plenty of time. A lot of big meets are lined up for him to re-establish himself- World's 2022-23 and Olympics 2024. He's got a lot of competition ahead of him from 800 to 10,000, so motivation shouldn't be an issue.
Good Luck!

They most definitely were allowed to chase the standard at the “trials” (US championships) - they just failed to hit it.

The only thing that Drew might be in danger of testing positive for is marajuana. He would be one of the last people I would imagine is doping. No way someone is doping who is injured that much.
