New, mature Tinman Elite?

Reed ran really well in his 10 mile tune-up & at Chicago. Seemed to really run within himself & move up well in both races. He did what a lot of other guys should have done at Chicago. 2:14 is worth more on that day. Smart to go out in 1:07 & not force it.

Are you a Tinman fan, or are you a fan of the people that stole his name? As long as they keep that name, it'll be impossible for me to respect them.

Are you a Beatles fan, or are you just a fan who stole the drummer's name? As long as you keep that name, I think I'll be small-minded and not respect you.

Tinman Elite blundered in naming the team after a person who is now the former coach, but they are still Tinman Elite, and rightfully so, and legally so.

This. Then again, even with a name change, c-listers just fail to seem compelling unless, say, they were championing a charitable cause outside of themselves. You can kinda overlook narcissism in someone winning Olympic medals or coming close. Tougher to overlook in people who have only won domestic amateur team competitions.

The dude finished 9th at a major marathon. I don’t know any of these people but he comes across as a down to earth guy working really hard compete. Why don’t all of you who criticize these “c listers” post links to your best race results?

Why do you think you have to be a better than the person you're criticizing? Doesn't make sense.

I definitely agree it was probably his best race taking everything into consideration. Can't really say anything more here since free speech is verboten on this topic.

As much as I dislike Tinman I gotta say their new video editor is killing it

Umm….these fellows stole Tinman’s moniker. They will never outlive the travesty. Hopefully Tom comes back with the big guns and sues the pants off of them. The classy guys left.

Warner Brothers owns the rights to “The Wizard of Oz.” I really hope they do the right thing and sue Tommy boy for stealing their characters name.

90s Guy is probably the Gusman's littler brother Johnny.

Right? Pretty sure one of the TME crew shared this on Letsrun.

Makes sense.

Surprised Leslie wasn’t there to jump on him after the finish

90’s guy, not sure why you’re so butt hurt about me criticizing Reed’s form. His form isn’t great. Yes my form is actually better, and no, I’m not faster than Reed over any distance 5k and above. I never said I was. Study running form for long enough and it’s blatantly obvious who has good form and who doesn’t.

This has got to be the answer. Their video editor cut out all the immature bits. That’s why the video is so short

LOL, that little turd started battling me in IG dms for making the most slightly negative comment about Parsons. What a weirdo that fella is.

Same! He shared some info about TME and Tinman drama with me, trying to justify why they ditched him, but it made them sound worse.

2:14 high.

A little hot, 2:13 mid.

Run with someone, 2:12 high.

Old school shoes, 2:14 high.

It's a duck.
