Sick of hearing about Hansons

Brad Hudson to me is a better coach and it would be very interesting to see what he could do with a large developmental group.

He better first take a look at how to handle a small group.

Torres was horrible beaten by 11 Hansons and 4 who were making their debut as well. Hartmann was beaten by 6 Hansons athletes. One of them was Mike Morgan who was also making his debut so please don't attempt to use that as an excuse. I feel sorry for an athlete that is misled by the coach into believing that they are prepared to do something that they are not. If Torres and Hartman had spent the last 6 months with the Hansons group, they would have both run sub 2:13. But they would have been prepared to do so.

Eduardo will probably beat Sell this weekend and Jason will beat Verran. The Hansons are a cute cuddly little story with no real runners. They will have a good outing if 3 or 4 guys run under 2:20. I think it is great that guys like the Hansons are willing to throw their money away. As long as the welfare system is available how about sending a little cash out here to where you may receive a little bit of return on investment.

Just another group of "individuals" on this board who live on a steady diet of "crow".

If Hudson told him he could run that or not, doesn't hide the fact that like many runners pre-marathon debut, they disrespect the distance and what they think that they can do. 2:12, laughable.

I live and train in Boulder and it is disgusting to hear idiots such as "Boulder Pride" represent this area and surrounding area runners. Anyone who knows anything about the sport respects what the Hanson group has been accomplishing over the past few years, the quality of marathon athletes they have been developing, and generally what attention they're drawing toward our sport. Their club is first class through and through.

"Boulder Pride" is a sad example of what paranoia and "us against the world" attitude can do to an individuals/groups way of thinking. Whoever Boulder Pride is has displayed complete and total ignorance toward the very sport they claim to know and love so well. Give it a rest and worry about your meal ticket at NYC....He's gonna need to perform for you to keep your reputation....

Are you trying to say that Mr. Hudson is in some way taking shots at the Hansons. NO WAY. Mr. Hudson is way too busy to be bothered with Letsrun.

HAH!!

Between the Hansons and Hudson, only the latter is accepting welfare handouts.

Boulder, where they have it way too easy.
