rupp is a 2:09 guy, still nothing changed. i said he would go out in 64 high/65 low...no it was worse, 66!
but like i have been saying for the last 2 months, rupp is maxing out at 62 flat, and that is 2:08-09. "but but but tactical, slow course, training through, recovering from (huh) an*l sex?"
he just ran the second half of this race in 63:08 and you think he's maxed out at 62? you know jack about running lol
i dont know jack huh? thats why i predicted van's WR, while prob you and everyone else was listening to vant/calc***o talking about merrit and how he would crush the WR
i have been saying for that past 3 months that rupp is a 2:09 guy and people keep saying im an idiot, and how he will run a 2:05-6 at chicago, and how i didnt know anything about track and field.
well what did ruppy poop run? oh yeah thats right a 2:05!!! how amazing you guys were right and i was wrong and i dont know anything!
so he goes out in 66 and comes back 63....you think thats impressive? trying going out in 62 and coming back 61....when 62 is your max you cant go out any faster that 64, watch what happends when ruppy poop tries to go out 63 or faster....BLOW UP and run a 2:11

i said ruppy poop would run a 2:09 and everyone would make excuses for him
the ladies ran fast, so this "it was hot" is worthless
others said "its a slow course", but the course record is 2:03:45, so that excuse is worthless.

when ruppy poop can go drop a 58 mid, and hit 62 in route, then i will consider thinking he can drop a 2:05. but the reality is HE CANT and he WONT
so sick and tired of this "but he is a 26:44 guy"
no he WAS a 26:44 guy, now he is off the sauce, the heat has been on NOP and salazar. no one listens to me. as soon as centro pulled his mystery illness this summer he ran like sh*t, and same with rupp. running 28 lows and 62s, while everyone made excuses. "he has no speed cause its marathon training" yet still claiming he has 26:44 speed lol
if the heat ever gets to the point where ruppy poop has to go under oath, that will be a bad day for sal, NOP, mo and centro...among many others
i have said it before and i will say it again. sal and kara had an affair...is it really adams son or sals? she wants to scream foul but is TERRIFIED of the dirt sal and nike has on her.
she would have to admit she sauced, and would have to expose some of her runner friends, and then sal has the blackmail of exposing their affair...im sure adam would divorce her right away. i have no doubts sal would leak juicy emails maybe nudies she send him. she will prob never have the courage to follow through...but....
if ruppy poop goes under oath and starts spilling beans, lots and lots of shady and made for TV drama will emerge. you really think cain just up and left cause she was running like sh*t? or do you think her super conservative upbringing said no to sals ways? who knows maybe he tried getting fresh on her since kara moved on.
bottom line, rupp runs a fast ending to 1970s era times and you guys act like he can give kipchoge a run for his money. no dude is 2:09, NOP is still under some heat, one day hopefully it will all be exposed. i will smile
Adam, please don't post when you're drunk.
I can't fathom a world where someone like you is serious and acts like that with such consistency.

youre funny, I gotta give you that, sadly I know you arnt trolling with how much bs you post lol
end of the day Rupp waxed the competition in Chi Town yesterday, and youre salty, which also makes me laugh, let me guess you never thought Rupp would run sub 27, or 13, or 3:50?
Based on the split times in the Letsrun article and my calculations, Biwott ran 20:47 from 35k to the finish. So slower than Rupp's 20:37, against a slower finishing time (2:10:34).
That being said, Biwott ran a marginally slower time in one of the harder sections of a demonstrably more challenging course. Plus, it was much less even. Kamworor injected a 4:24 mile split at mile 20. And he took down Wilson Kipsang. So I'd say Biwott's close is more impressive but it's debatable.

Thank you. Rubb is a low 2:09 guy who ran well against a weak field on a pathetic course.
All two hundred Chicagoans who came to watch must have been "thrilled" however.

He ran 66:11/63:09. You don't think he could run under 2:09 with even splits?
Also, look at the NYC entries. You don't think Rupp could win that race?

Wow, this is great. I mean, we all knew you'd be outraged with a Rupp win but this is on another level..........
Rob DeCastella ran a 14:47 final 5K at Rotterdam 1983. I have no idea how this matches the variety of other close times on this thread, I just throw that out here.

His time is not relevant. He won, and thats really all that matters in a race.

A fine time, but not even close. Anyone that has run 2:04:45 or faster as averaged faster than that.

Scorpion_runner wrote:The only difference is that those runners ran WR pace for the first half of their race, not 2:13 pace. So of course he was going to have blazing speed in the bag.
There is nothing to think about with this slow a s s race. Hell, look at what they covered in Berlin in the first half of that race running at 20 seconds above record pace at one point.
They basically ran a 1 hour 40 min warm up, and then ran a 10k in Chicago
Don't dismiss so easily the difficulty of picking up the pace off a slow tempo. Many runners find it easier to sustain a hard pace than to change gears like Rupp had to do. It's all about rhythm.
Not discounting what you state, but the announcers did say he specifically trained for changing gears. So he did prepare for it. And performed it very nicely.
¿How fast elite marathoners can run 7 km after hobby jogging 35 km?
mindweak wrote:
so you are saying kipchoge is a loser? and same with KB?
Both are proven winners in championship races and winning is their #1 goal. If Kipchoge won Berlin in a WR and Bekele was 2nd in faster than the previous WR I can guarantee you Bekele would not be happy because he is a competitor 1st and foremost. Same would apply if the reverse were true for Kipchoge.
mindweak wrote:
so why did rupp obsess about getting the AR in the 10K? doing that makes him a loser!
Track is not the same as the marathon you buffoon. Every track is dead flat and 400m. He can definitely say he is the fastest American man to ever cover 10000m on a track, that makes him a winner.
mindweak wrote:
and since every race has a running clock that means the organizers and promoters are trying to make everyone a LOSER!!!!
new rule, start each marathon and no more CLOCKS, no more watches, no more TIME! cause the clock is making people LOSERS
Clocks and focusing on times are fine for hobby joggers who finish well back in the pack. Elites who focus on times are losers. They need to focus only on beating people.
I've seen a lot of miserable people on these boards. You're right up there with the best of them. Congrats.
Can't fault rjm33/mindweak for hitting the bottle after Rupp's decisive win, can we?

Tirunesh dibaba said she was just focusing on running a fast time today. So I guess she's a loser?
...considering 10k is lot longer than 7.195km & this finish contained some tough hills, it's pretty easy to conclude Geoffrey's was greatest finishing drive in a Major Magreed. The 2:05:05 alone at NY makes it one of the greatest races ever.

Agreed.
