Parker Stinson leaves Hudson.

Hey everybody! I'm a 5:20 miler but keep taking out the first lap in 60.

And for SOME REASON, I'm not improving. My coach tells me to pace myself but screw him! Right?!

Anyways, I NEED a new coach. Is Al Sal avail?

More like:

Hey everybody! I'm a 5:00 miler (in training, I only run 5:20 in races) but I keep taking my first lap in 60.

Trying to make a living at a 2:13 marathon performance level is difficult. Of course, 2:13 is a time to be respected but it makes one a marginal player in a very marginal sport. I would think it wise to keep focused on a career and life beyond running. And coaching athletes at this level for a living even makes less sense.

His coach did nothing wrong, Parker did it to himself, more than once by the way. Parker, you are overrated in your own mind. Grow up and stop blaming others for your lack of patience in a 26.2 mile race. Try running within your ability, evenly, for the first half of the race, then come talk to us.

I don't believe Parker left based off of his Marathon Performance, and I don't think he once blamed Brad for New York.

Also, how is he gonna know who to talk to when your 5:30 mile a$$ is posting anonymously?

That was my first thought...

Hudson has said that coaching Allie was more important to him than anyone else in the group, and that if he had to choose between the group and her, he would choose her. Looks like he's getting what he wants.

He's going to tinman, I have secret tinman footage.

LetsRun really should coach him.

We'll bring JK out of coaching retirement, get a group in Flagstaff and Tokyo 2020 will be guaranteed. Plus his sponsors would get a ton of publicity out of it.

Why didn't JK do this when he wasn't retired?

bit disappointed I don't see him registered for CIM this year

2017 was definitely interesting

He was in a long run group with the Tinmen and Noah Droddy last weekend. I strongly suspect Parker is now training with them/under Tinman. Is it possible Noah leaves Roots Running?

A supergroup by chance? the footage point this way

It's really possible. Nobody has exploded onto the professional running scene as fast as the Tinmen. I'd argue they are the deepest men's training group in the US (obviously they haven't proven anything yet on the world stage) not too dissimilar to the Bowerman Babes. Give it through this Olympic cycle. My hot take is that they put 3+ guys on the US team to Tokyo.

Noah . . . done.

You guys do realize all these guys are buddies right. Not every time someone runs with someone else does it mean that they are automatically joining another group. They are all allowed to have friends outside of their training situations. I live in Boulder, these guys run with each other all the time. Facts: 1) Brad dug his own grave with the quote in the article but Parker was already leaving him before the article came out 2) Parker is not joining Tinman but may jump in workouts with him 3) Noah is still part of Roots but lives with one of Tinman guys so hangs out with the guys a lot and will run with the group when it allows 4) Assumptions only make an A$$ out of you (especially if IG is your source)

That would be awesome.

LetsRun.com Where your dreams become reality

Rumor has it they’re building up a crew so they can go on a reality TV style persistent hunt in Wyoming. Look for hints on their IG feeds - there are a few hidden atlatls here and there.

All's I can tell Parker Stinson and Allie Kieffer are getting an inordinate amount of air time over this past month or so. Seems as much as all the other top runners combined.

Maybe just let things be and let them go where they may.

Good luck to both, and to all parties involved.

So did someone on Twitter take him up on the $10K offer?

Brad has been looking for what he thinks is that "it" athlete for him for years leaving a trail of broken and burnt out athletes in his wake. Allie left him once before just because she felt like it and it wouldn't be a surprise if she did it again just because it's how she operates.

I’m frantically swiping through Bumble. Wish me luck!
