Summary

We sat down with the Tinman Elite team for a podcast taping in front of a live audience at Fitness Sports in Des Moines. The guests included Drew Hunter, Sam Parsons, Reed Fischer and Tyler Mueller. We discussed Reed's surprising 4th place finish in the men's 10,000 meters and what it's like returning back to the running store where he clocked hundreds of hours. The show delves into the start of Tinman Elite, trusting Tom Schwartz, 'Keeping the Ball Rolling' and competing with a chip on your shoulder. We take a few questions from the audience. The audio may be a little difficult to hear since the mic was set just in front of the runners and Chris.
