He Stinsoned It Today at CCC

Worse yet is Azalea Trail Run in Mobile. Joseph Kimani ran 27:04 and there was usually 20-30 guys, mostly US or UK, running sub 30.

This year 2 Kenyans broke 30.

Sad.

It seems the 10K road race for world class runners is a thing of the past. I would love to see fields like there were in the 80's.

That's what I'm talking about, Stinson is a real man. Only pansies sit and kick. Real men take out hard and push it to the limit.

That's the problem with US running, Its a race, you are supposed to race not push it to your limit like it was a time trial.

You're chicken sh!t. To paraphrase my favorite movie of all time.

if he wants to run with these guys why doesn't he train to get fit enough to keep up with them the whole race? i dont understand his preparation and strategy. he underprepares, then runs with them as long as he can, and then after the race says he wasnt fit enough to keep up. what is he doing? get fitter before the next race lol

he should train before the race wrote:

He will always be an also ran, so that's why he goes to races like Crescent City Classic to pick up money.You will never see him in the top 4 at Boston,New York, or Chicago. He might jump to the front for a bit at the start, but that's about it.

What can be proven is his years in prison for dealing, his coke addiction, and his firing due to inappropriate behavior with minors.

But this is a thread about Stinson, not Castille.

I don't think he is underprepared. He trains hard. He's just not at that next level yet but I have no problem with him lining up and going for it. He's determined & will break through at some point. He's not out there to be top-10 & first American (even though that's where he is at at bigger races a lot of the time). He wants to compete for the win. I'm into that.

If open prize money was 5 deep he only had to run 28:40 to get that. With better pacing he might have.

Castille had a rough early life, did some crime. Then served his time. He is a totally different person now. A good man and runner(old) who whip your soi azz.

Leblanc took a long lay off from running, but is coming back strong. He is also a very good guy.

You are either Kevin or Leblanc. Kevin has a history and reputation, of sketchy and bad behavior. The Leblanc kid is an upbeat guy, who is a very good local/ regional runner.

Results changed today and my dream girl Iveen was given 4th over Vicoty.

I’m in love.

Stinson is still one of my favorite runners. Go big or go home! Next American to go sub 60 for the half. You'll see.

He is a gutsy runner. The way I like to put it, he races the first half of his races faster as if trash talking, then slowly implodes, making his races entertaining.

That makes no sense.The guy has problems,so he stays away from major races.

yet every time he races, he goes out too hard and then fades...

this isn't the 800m.

there is no reason to be going out in a negative split in a distance race, end of story

Nothing against Dathan but he's not the kind of guy Stinson needs. Dathan was way ahead of him talent wise and he rightly could race with guts with the top guys and hold on respectably. Stinson cannot do that as he isn't on that level. He needs to keep working and have positive races where he finishes strong, not this nonsense where he knows he's going out too fast and blows up. If you think you're in shape and it doesn't go your way that's totally fine but after every race he admits that he knew he wasn't in shape for the pace. That's just not productive, and if he's doing that all the time how the hell is he supposed to know what kind of fitness he really has?

He may have been 7th but that is 5 places from 12th. Shouldn't we be celebrating the 12th place finisher?

Road 10k time trials can be entertaining.
