Also, in case people don't know, Rupp is apparently seeing to it that there is a very good pace through the first mile. Actually I'm kind of surprised nobody is bringing up the similarities to the lead up to the 2010 Payton Jordan 10K.

I will give Rupp this. Even though he ran 3:57 last weekend I think he could have easily run 3:54-55. He got tripped up and then pushed the last 800 on his own. If he had been smooth throughout and been able to follow he could have run 2 to 3 secs faster.
