Parker Stinson should just donate the 15k to charity. Everyone on this board knows that he probably has talent to hit sub-2:11 if he would just:
1. Don't go out fast
2. Learn to run more a little more efficiently
Social media is terrible in that there is no good way to collective get someone to admit to reasonable ideas.

Parker seems to be proving himself dumber and dumber every time he opens his mouth.
He blocked me on Twitter for pointing out that the reason he crashed in the last 5 miles, *again,* is that he stupidly went out with the leaders at 2:07 pace for the first 4 miles.
As somebody here pointed out on an earlier thread, though (don't remember who it was), it may be that Parker doesn't even *care* about actually becoming a good marathoner, and is really only interested in expanding his moronic SM following of dim-witted teenagers who make Parker out to be the next Pre --even though most of these idiots know *nothing* about Pre, and comparing Parker to Pre is beyond ridiculous in every conceivable way.
Parker himself gave serious support to this theory in one of his pre-race interviews where he said something about continuing to 'build his brand,' while spouting more stupidity about 'having no interest in going out in 66.'
Running fans should give their attention to *serious* runners rather than this pinhead,... at least until he *shows* he's anything more than a preening second-rater.
I gave the guy a chance, but when you don't fess up to the truth and now he's blocking people on twitter, he's permanently off my list of people to root for. People like him seem to love when they're praised, but that can't take constructive criticism at all.
I coach a high school team and have coached in College as well (before I moved). You just lost a huge following among my high school runners as apparently blocking people who disagree with you is a big no no among the youth.
Your Twitter post has apparently backfired big time. Time to fess up and admit you blew it by running at a pace you don't belong running at....sub 4:50?? Nope, too fast Parker.
I'll be in Atlanta for the trials. I was rooting for you as a top 3 hopeful, but I'll take Rupp, Ritz and Biwott instead. \
You read these boards all the time Parker, bummer for you to act like a little kid. Blocking people on Twitter?
This is when Social Media bites you in the butt. Smug innuendos that people on a forum claim they can coach you better because YOU didn't listen to your Coach.
Brad would never have told you to go out that fast Parker and you know it. You blew it, move on to the next one and race smarter, don't look for excuses even if you're just being sarcastic as it looks pretty low, even to those of us that know you well;)
You posted it for publicity but didn't think it thru. Stop with the ego and gloating, just train, race and let the chips fall where they fall. Good luck Parker!
Bump. So did Ritz win?
I think he owed about 1 dollar each to the 15k people who said he was in sub 2:11 shape if he just ran less stupid and went out on pace.

There is a distinct lack of the MAGIC COACH J.S. on this thread
Cmon man, this is your big break!
I’d pay $5k for sub 3! Not sure how much more I can do. I can do a 3:10 in ideal conditions but it takes everything I have, I’m 51 and slowing down, and doing a Daniels 2Q topping out at 70 miles.
I did a 90 mile cycle a year ago but I couldn’t recover fast enough for my key runs so I dialed it back to 70 and have done better.
I’d do it but not on this stupid gamble. I’d do it for free and here’s my gamble. I do it u give me all the credit. U don’t and u don’t get to blame me as an out.
