Parker Stinson OUT for the Olympic Trials

Hope him quick recovery. The thing is with marathoning you get two “Olympic” races every single year in the fall and spring. Actually the major marathons are more competitive than the Olympics because countries aren’t limited with entrants. So get healthy for the fall Park man.

On another note how did he hurt his knee. Was it overuse, a fall, ? He has an interesting running style so that might be a factor. In contrast a guy like kipchoge never seems injured yet our American runners are constantly. Is it running surfaces, lack of strength work, ?

Besides running in a straight line for how long and how often you cannot blame Ritz for this. Sadly, these injuries happen when you are on the edge trying to get the most out of your body. Too much intensity? Who knows? A biomechanics flaw? Did he tweak it doing something supplementary or completely unrelated? I would like to think that Ritz, due to his history would be very cautious with anybody under his tutelage.

Why would anyone follow the advice of Ritz on training?

I was thinking the same thing. Don't get me wrong: Ritz has accomplished a ton in his career, and I don't doubt that he's very knowledgeable about training; however, if he's giving me a rah-rah, come to Jesus speech, I'm going to think long and hard about how many times he hasn't made it to the start line because he was injured and then act accordingly.

Anyway, I'm bummed for Parker. I really wanted to see him race well.

He seemed healthy enough when he ran 2:07, 12:56, 60 flat, and made multiple Olympic teams. I would definitely trust his advice before I would trust a random message board poster like you.

Well you don’t have to worry about Ritz giving you any speech, time, or energy now do you..? You’ll be along the sidelines with most of the other cowards, untalented and lazy turds. So many opinions..so little substance.

That's right; I will. Just like you, my man. At least I can say I've raced him at a U.S. Championship. Can you?

I've raced him at a US Championship as well, you're nothing special.

Ah . . . ol' Ritz took a play out of my playbook.

Under appreciated post...

I don't get the joke, if there is one. I stumbled across a video with Coach Hudson in it, and I was thinking it was filmed around the time of Chicago 2019...but maybe it was Chicago 2018. Here is a different video with Hudson in it:

You mean like Ritz's old coach, Hudson?

Sorry, maybe that actually was the video, but I (evidently) wasn't following that closely the first time I watched part of it.

Now that you mention it, IIRC, back when Ritz broke 13min, Hudson was getting some credit for the base Ritz had built prior to joining NOP.

Which, in turn, goes back to the brilliant racing shape Wetmore got him into as a collegian.

Glad he is out can't stand guys who rock the manbun.

He's so soft.

Having seen Stinson racing, I don't think so.

I’m sad to see anyone who had goals of running the trials not make it to the start line. Get well soon Parker.

LAGAT!!!

This last part: "I know that I will rise up and find a way to inspire you all with whatever high point is next."

Seriously? Who says things like this? Sounds like an egomaniac. Do your thing by running well and being a good role model. True leaders don't go "Hey look at me I'm a leader." So tired of these fing millenial narcisscists

Soft? For trying to train through an issue and then ended up actually getting hurt. Don’t get the hate for Stinson. Seems to be a great guy

Real great guy...

I've seen him racing, too. He's largely undisciplined in the marathon. Seems so in training, too. That's effing soft.

sad he's splitting with his wife too
