It's a total "bruh" club. Their coach is not so great. Not surprising at all.
This ongoing beyatchfest against TME is pathetic. It's not gonna stop, though, because certain web honchos love their money coming in from "hits". Which means that the same incredibly lame "mommy" and "Drew Hunter will never run well again" and "TME sucks" comments won't stop anytime soon! Naturally, those same beyatches will respond to this posting. They have to; it's in their blood, after all.
TME runners, as good as they are - and WHO AMONG US WOULD NOT WANT TO RUN THEIR TIMES? - are just not at the top of the heap currently. Do they suck? HELL no!! They're still a bunch of tremendously fast athletes, and I'm more than willing to acknowledge such superior runners (all of whom would crush me at any distance). Despite all the snot blown in their direction on this forum, they have made a huge difference in T&F in America, at least, due to their gear, and their chosen philosophy of transparency, and their charter to meet and greet and encourage - in a sport where enthusiasm has been waning for ages. Remember when track used to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated? Remember when the indoor winter meets were huge affairs? Those days are gone, but the TME boys have revved up a love of the sport for so many, not just teens - despite being mostly second-tier runners, so far, and maybe always.
There are a handful of alpha bad boys who are jerks in life and who will gladly go out of their way to anonymously smear TME on this message board. Some of them, not all of them, are wannabes, too - not ELITE, or not yet ELITE - a word they love to overuse in their mudslinging. There are elite jerks, too, even sub-4:00 schmucks, who are jerks even when not slamming TME.
Too bad the greats at Bowerman TC are so mysterious. They owe us nothing, of course, but transparency, or at least a little more engagement with the fanbase ain't a bad thing, by and large.
Do you really believe that TME’s friendly interaction with one another is any different than on any other club? It's probably fairly similar, and I'm sure it's not quite as rosy as it seems, at times, on TME. Do you really think they’re pathetic human animals? Well, they ARE friends - I'll believe that - and that’s GREAT, even if it doesn’t ultimately translate into faster times. They have enthusiastic experiences that will be positive benefits for the rest of their lives.
I remember reading Frank Shorter’s opinion that Steve Prefontaine, at least for the earlier part of his elite career, chose to view his competitors as his bitter enemies. That must have been a lot of fun to be around! Yeah, that anger may have fueled him on to some faster times, but the TME brotherhood is pretty effin’ fantastic and is the goal of most teams – to have fun despite the hard work involved.
Athletes change coaches all the time. AND NO DOUBT WE DON’T KNOW SQUAT ABOUT THE WAYS TME’S FORMER COACH VIOLATED HIS CONTRACT AND DESERVED MUCH OF WHAT HAPPENED. Let’s see what he does in the future. If he's the great coach others
(many of the same people who stabbed him in the back before "the fall") claim , his charges will rise to the top. People do make mistakes, and that applies to young pro runners in Boulder, CO, so possibly the TME boys have their regrets. But, anyway, “that was then, this is now”. And, again, we, the public, don’t know anything much about what went down, and we shouldn’t for a minute believe the bull spewed by the biased Mrs. Ex-coach and by all the TME haters. NOBODY knows except those on TME and a certain ex-coach.
If you want to believe that Bigfoot just ran a sub-4 mile, then you will.
Drew Hunter may NEVER be the great American runner so many wish he was, or would be.
Reed Fischer’s body is never going to give him the running gait of [fill in the blank with your favorite running great].
Joan Hunter may not succeed in getting all these TME runners to be BTC’s main rival.
Beyatches who anonymously snipe at the TME runners are typically always gonna be beyatches. Ever been to your high school 20th reunion and learned that the a-hole from high school is still an a-hole? That will apply to a fair number of the anti-TME posters here! Some of those a-holes are or were great athletes, who were embraced by their teammates because they were fun to be with, despite faults. Not everyone – and that applies to TME – has to be a saint, you know.
Ugh…and on and on it goes. Let’s see how soon before the next Tinman posting becomes a popular multi-page thread on LRC. By the way, I think I’ll start a thread on how Drew Hunter’s toejam has not been cleaned by his mommy, causing bad form, slow times, and injury. LRC honchos won’t remove the thread, either, because, like the Kardashian, Prince Harry, and LGBT stories, any TMH headline brings in viewers. Money makes some people very, very happy.
congrats. or sorry that happened to you. i ain't reading all that.
This dude fa sho copped the mad swag on the latest Cycle drop
Just Win, Baby
As in, no one cares; stop telling yourself lies about the reasons you are or are not winning. It means no f'ing excuses.
where is Grant Fisher right now? 1. has a Stanford degree and is in a different class of runners to Hunter, Tinman was right Hunter needs to let got of the "comrade" and "underdog friendly" team bullsh*t join a real pro group train hard get a better S&C coach/physio and if you get injured suck it up and get healthy need to take a letter out of Jerry and BTC's book
Isn't the Twitter age great? "say no to intervals" can't read anything beyond the length of a tweet, obviously, which means I'm pushing my luck to expect such a person to get to the finish line of this posting. Sorry I used big words like "crowd" and "person" and didn't dumb it down for you, say no to intervals.
What if that’s not what hunter wants? Maybe he wants to sacrifice his potential for more freedom over his group and brand. Or he wants to be able to live and train with his friends instead of being a slave to nike.
That’s bc it’s easy to identify a fanboy right away. TME should just admit to being sub elite and this issue would subside.

Bunk the Real Tinman deserved it. Quite the opposite. And yes, I know the gory details. Your post screams “methinks thou doth protest too much” and I and many others know exactly why. Shame on the lot of you.
TME needs to push the envelope in terms of performance and just go next level: daily vlogs.
Boy you sure said a whole lot of nothing. Bigfoot part was interesting though.
Wonder if/when Tinman will want his name removed from the brand. It's getting embarrassing.
Since when have TME been transparent? We never heard about their injuries, they never told us about their coaching situation… They cuss and drink bear and think that’s transparent.
Unless you were privy to the "gory details" from both Tom and the team, you know only one side of things- Tom's.
