The explanation @ 4:18..... I don't get it. Why would he race with a stress reaction?
AGGHH The discussion doesnt go anywhere.
I want to see the fastest Tinman to run a 49 second 400 and make it look good. If they can't, speed is the problem. If they can, the workouts are too easy.
They need to STOP TALKING about race strategy and morning visualization sessions and their philosophies and GET IT DONE. This will be the only Olympic cycle in the history of Tinman elite. Make the dang trials.
They seem happy.

I've been around elite runners a lot more than you have and I don't see a problem nor do I think your "criticism" is legitimate. All it proves is anonymous trolls are able to spew their vapid opinions on the internet. Hunter seems to be right where you'd want to be in February.
This is called an appeal to authority, and it's even more pathetic when you're using YOURSELF as the authority. Even with all your experience, I find it crazy that you don't see Hunter's recent performances as concerning.
I've given numerous examples of how his training is not high level enough, and his training partners are holding him back. Do you really think that 5xmile workout that I posted was sufficient for someone of Hunter's caliber?
Face it malmo, Hunter was the great wunderkind of American distance running, but he has stagnated. There at least 5 other runners around his age that I would expect to be ahead of him at the Olympic Trials.
I didn't see a problem with that 5 x mile, especially if Hunter thinks that his future is the 5000m.
If you search the boards, you can find essentially the same workout in Salazar's college XC training logs posted by malmo. I think of it as more of an XC / base strength workout, and perhaps that's where Hunter is in his training.
Except for LateRunnerPhil, the rest of us don't really know what Hunter's plan was. I figure that the race opportunity was there, and Hunter took it as a winter break, probably knowing that he was going to get pounded. And he did run an indoor PR, so he got something out of the trip in addition to some feedback on how his training is right now.
You guys are actually bitter, this guy qualified for worlds, made the team, has a trash 1500 race in the middle of the season and you guys are using that to trash on the guy, if you’re sitting on your keyboard judging and trashing on a person who is more successful than you at a given discipline, you need to throw your computer out of the window and get a life, being a hater is not good for the soul.
How much better would he be at BTC?
If you told someone his senior year of HS that three years later, his finishes at US outdoor champs would be 11th, 6th, and 5th, I think most people would say that's pretty good.
But he hasn't had a good race since 2019, now apparently is hurt again after injury derailed his promising 2019 season, and there's a whole crop of younger guys who seem to have leapfrogged him.
He's an exciting talent, and I think it's fair for fans to hope he tries something new.
He should give Adidas their money back, enroll at Oregon and run on their "B" DMR

Thanks for that link. So he is injured, which makes a certain poster back on page 3 of this thread even more of a buffoon:

Yeah, right!
It's not crazy to wish the dude well, even if he's never going to be world champ.

So Whoop and Xendurance don't work, TME is endorsing snake oil? What about Drew's TME singing bowl?

Who cares about some random letsrun poster, this injury makes TINMAN look like a buffoon. Seriously, how incompetent is Tinman? Drew gets hurt AGAIN and then races on the injury? In an olympic year, too! WTF

If by trash 1500m, you mean a PB. Then yes, he had a trash 1500m
Remember that he ran 3:36 the summer after his former 1500m indoor PB.

Except it's slower than his converted indoor mile PR. But even if you want to be an imbecile and claim it was a good race, there's OBVIOUS bad news - He is falling far behind other Americans.
2 American college athletes at Oregon ran the equivalent of a 3:33. Drew got beat by 3 other Americans in his race - by more than 3 seconds.
