Will Rupp's marathon debut time be over or under Farah's debut in London?
Will Rupp's marathon debut time be over or under Farah's debut in London?
Well, Rupp has a life threatening illness called American Born Runner Syndrome. It prevents an individual from running well in the marathon.
So I put his over/under at 2:10 depending on the pollen count.
The problem for Rupp in the 'thon will be the variable pollen count. The count will vary widely as the kilometers go by. AlSal should follow Rupp in an emergency sag wagon to be ready just in case the pollen-wheels come off unexpectedly.
remember this when ritz or farah run a marathon they are basically guinea pigs for salazar to figure out what went right and wrong, so by the time rupp debuts salazar will have rupp ready.
think what you want, sure farah is salazars best runner so far, but rupp is salazars favorite and salazar wants rupp to become better than farah.
when salazar got farah to join his group it was so rupp would have a great training partner NOT so farah can have a great training partner even if it works out that way.
so rupp will run the marathon far faster in his debut than farah ran today.
