Now coached by Dathan Ritzenhein, Parker Stinson is ready to PR at the Houston Half

A lot of insecure people develop mechanisms to hide it well for short periods.

They all need to stfu and download the training log of Bill Rodgers. No glam photos or product shilling, just going hard everyday in the freezing cold while racking up 150 miles a week and slowly losing your mind

its well known he basically coaches himself like desi did just wears there kit.

1. Why did Des name Drenth as her Coach after leaving Hansons? This makes no sense if she was already coaching herself.

Because Hanson was her coach. I know as I was there.

2. Ritz has talked about how he likes Hanson approach to the marathon and is excited to see how he adapts to the training. Maybe things have changed after he got hurt going into Boston last year but Hanson definitely coached him last year.

You are wrong.

I would Love to see a Stinson video where he predictably runs faster than prescribed in workout and ritz rolls down the window and yells out

SLOW THE F$CK DOWN!!!!

Would be nice if ritz were on the course at 2 miles for stinsons next marathon yelling

SLOW THE F$CK DOWN

And when Stinson doesn’t follow orders and blows up, to have Ritz at 23 miles yell out

JUST DO WHAT YOU DID EARLIER MORAN

Finally At the finish

GO BACK TO HUDSON IM DONE WITH YOU MORAN!

Interesting. Will not be surprised if a similar fate occurs. Just like the Sports Illustrated cover jinx, all of this per-race hype and going to run such and such has hardly come to fruition in the past for any USA runner. Talk, talk, talk and zero results.

Even Kipchoge does not put himself out there with 'I'm going to run such and such'

The only talk I see from Ritz or Parker is about him being in PB shape?

How is saying you want to break your PB at the fast Houston Half not an appropriate goal?

Brad Hudson NEVER gets another athlete after that. Talk about a hit job.

Hudson should be asked if he or if he thinks he is taking advantage of Allie. Something feels off there. The dude seems like a predator. He’s gotta be in his 50s right. You can coach a woman and not try to have a relationship with her or move with her across the country.

It’s literally the exact same goal Kipchoge talked about going into Berlin - the poster you quoted shot himself in the foot.

Both of these guys are Class Acts all the way.

I've met Parker several times and he is a top-notch quality individual. He'll make a great coach someday.

Wish him all the success in the world.

Parker Stinson or whoever he is followed me on instagram or something. So I followed him back out of courtesy, about a month later I checked up who I was following etc and I was following this guy but he no longer was doing the same. Stinson is a pathetic loser who spends all day trying a mass a pile of instagram followers.

Dude, people follow and unfollow all the time, to see if someone is interesting or not.

Clearly, you're just not that freaking interesting. Boo-Yah, ya big baby!

Similar. Seeing him the year the Duck Men won NCAA's the first time since the 1980's, Parker was all team and engagingly supportive of his teammates. He's a great "kid."

Is third behind Edward and Lawi at NCAA sub elite?

What about 27:54 for 10,000m?

Talent is not sub elite, and neither are his road race performances from the last year based on the people he’s beating. Marathon is not where it should be but don’t knock a guys whole career based on one event that he’s learning at age of 26

At age 24-25 Shorter had a gold and 27:51/2:10:30 (1972) another example-at age 27, Rodgers ran 2:09:55 (1975). Stinson hammered and abused by Hudson and will need someone more skilled than Ritz (does he even know anything about coaching the sport?). He should get up with the Tinman group and fix his ruined metabolism and stride mechanics. Time is running out ...

This strangely mirrors his attention-hoe racing style.

I've seen Stinson race, and he was not out there seeking attention. I think that perhaps he just needs to learn that marathons are not like racing 5000m.

What's up Stinson, how are you tonight?
