I have been hearing how Jason never has a sponsorship and have 2 questions. How has he survived all these years (parents, prize winnings, job?) and why can't his friendship with Ritz be parlayed into a very modest contract; sounds like 20,000 contract would be a real game changer - further, why doesn't Ritz pay him that to be his rabbit for marathon build ups?
He's a single guy with no dependents. He makes prize money from races, like the 25k he's gotten two years in a row at Boston. I'm also guessing he might get paid to coach Elise Cranny.
I can't believer a smaller brand, like Skechers, hasn't picked him up. Seems like it would be a great opportunity for a company to make a small investment on a runner that has been been pretty consistent.
