Brian and Clint - Friendly Competition : Speakers & Interviews

these guys are like batman and robin

Listen Mike Mo....Clint and I...we had our thing- I understand you're upset...seriously dude- did he wink your mother? Jesus- you're a loser.

No, you're wrong hot stuff, Clint doesn't know his running stuff. Times/PR's define you're abilities as a runner, what the heck are you talking about "who you are as a runner"??? The quote that you've given is horsehockey at best. Clint didn't beat Stefano Baldini in Helsinki, Clint ran 2:17:42 for 22nd place, Stefano dropped out!!!!! Anything can happen? Yes, only if you've got proven credentials. A 2:14 marathoner who is basically banking on runners to drop out to make him look better. That quote that he gave is embarrassing at best. He didn't beat Baldini, Baldini dropped out because it wasn't happening. Then Clint also beat Hendrick Ramaala that day based off that theory. Clint is overrated in his own mind and I never said he was a bad guy, but he is not a top marathoner or even close. Can you explain why he hasn't run faster than 2:14 for over 7 years of training with the Hanson's???? Every time I bring that up to a top runner, they say something like "that's true" or "good point". If I were a 2:14 marathoner I would be ashamed of myself to say that I deserve to be in the top 3 in a race such as the Olympic Trials. How does he deserve to be in the top 3? Can you explain that hot stuff? I'm all ears!! He doesn't have it, period!

Clint's not a bad guy. He knows his running stuff. Times/PR's should not define who you are as a runner.
"The marathon is about managing time. I've beaten some of best marathoners in the world including 2004 Olympic gold medalist Stefano Baldini at the World Championships in Helsinki. So anything can happen in the marathon." Verran.

Told ya, told ya, told ya! Ryan and Ritz go one two, and Abdi was forced out unfortunately by an injury. Clint Verran was not in the top 8 or even close. He is a poser. Brian has a true chance and I actually picked him 4th in a running pool. He was 3rd and I'm glad he proved me wrong my one position. So long Clint!!! A 2:14 marathoner never had a chance in this field, plain and simple.

could you interview sell without verran around? the guy never stops talking...

And for those of you who think I'm a mean jerk, you are wrong. Clint is and always has been a 2:14 marathoner for the last 7 years!!! There is nothing wrong with that, but that's what he is. Winning the trials or being in the top 3, give me a break and yes I am from Michigan and have met both guys. Nice doesn't cut the mustard. Dathan, Ryan, and Abdi are not taking a back seat to Clint Verran and don't go by Dathan's one time marathon, that is ridiculous at best. Clint's not going to improve and run 2:12 on a tougher course than he ran his pr on just because it's the Olympic Trials race. His ability has shown itself for the last 7 years. Trent Briney improved so much in 04 because he ran slow in Chicago to just qualify, therefore the HUGE improvement that everyone spoke of when he ended up 4th.

Conclusion........Clint will not make the team and has absolutely no chance. An unknown who qualified with a 10k race has a better chance because they've never run a marathon. You can post here and tell me I was right tomorrow after noon. Mike Mo. from Michigan

Clint is nuts and has no chance to make the team. Look at his times and get a reality check. He can't even hang with Brian in a workout, but he's going to do it in a race. Nice guy or not, he's not making the team and will be lucky to be in the top 10 at the finish line. Don't go by 04', that was not the field that will be assembled tomorrow. He is was too overrated in his own mind. Brian has true chance, not Clint.

These guys have great attitudes. I hope they both make the team. Both are class acts!

d is an idiot

good video. sell really needs to shave that

Oh please. There is a difference between retiring and quiting. And who said that Sell is not going to go first three.

These guys have great attitudes.
