2:06 in a paced race. Still 3 minuets away from the top- that means a km away

KK is the American record holder dude was living and working in NYC as a freaking dishwasher and training. He wasn't just focused on running with no job. It wasn't like those Kenyans that represent Bahrain.
Credit to Rupp as he didn't just sit and kick he shared the lead with Lemma a few times. He is now a 2:06 guy and I can't take that away from him.
Still hate his guts and think he's dirty though.
How many times have you met Rupp?
If you talked with him, I guarantee you wouldn't hate him. Imagine all you could learn about training and being an elite runner. You sound naive and have a pretty myopic view of all of this.
Congrats to Galen!!!
Thanks. There were several entertaining cat and mouse moments that are missing.
Missing because of lack of split screen throughout.
Watched the race from the media car.
BREAKING: Rupp just did post marathon workout. 15x1k at 230 pace w/30sec Rec.
When asked how he was able to summon the resources to complete not just a major victory in the marathon but also an intense session he winked and said
"I'm backed by a corporate behemoth with limitless resources: training facilities, therapist, biologist, chemists, lawyers, politicians, in short MONEY. Lots of money. Oodles of money. I can do anything I want ethical or no, and no matter how clearly circumstances reveal that I am a cheat as long as I deny wrongdoing in media I'm untouchable. You ask how can I do this? And I say how do you think."

Another guy who tells people to scream like a pig and then do dirty stuff to them. Are your parents brother and sister?
I honestly did not see him being able to go 2:06 and said so.
.I was wrong.

Throws down the gauntlet to Mo Farah as NOP record holder! Mo will now have to up his game.
Can NOP get to 2:05?
Yep. Slow course. Throwing down the gauntlet: A clean Kipchoge wouldn't have been able to keep up.

Another weak white-boy who hates whites because that's what he's been taught to do by his teachers and the media. So many gullible, weak-minded Westerners.
Rupp is great, and clean, unlike 90% of E. Africans.
House of run podcast had Noah Droddy on a few months back and he revealed the Rupp is one of the least accessible athletes in T&F. Even as a fellow elite he couldn't even go up to him and shake his hand or engage in banter and the elites in general are very affable, know each other and have a sort of camaraderie and kinship. The difference in the way Rupp is handled or prefers to be handled is in stark contrast. So yeah until I meet him that's the opinion I'll have of him. Maybe if he runs the NYC marathon I'll get the opportunity.

Damn straight. And as American as any of us transplants. Hell of a story.
But it's hard not to expect people to think this way when this website pushes the American born narrative down our throats. Rupp ran great today. There was zero reason to write in the preview that he might go after Ryan Hall's American born record eligible time, but they did. And now, after the race, they can't just tell us he's the second fastest American of all-time. They have to write this: "It is the fastest ever marathon by an American-born athlete on a record-eligible course, as Khannouchi was born in Morocco and represented his native land until age 29."
Garbage. That is not a real statistic no matter how much you try to make it be. This is a country where the only indigenous people are Native Americans. Rupp is no more or less American than KK. KK is the American record holder. We can be excited about Rupp's run without having to get all white pride up in here.
The creators of this site did a great write up and coverage of the event. What they wrote is technically true. If you dont like it, feel free to go to another website, like flotrack...I hear thats a real winner, hahahaha.

Most of us equate nationality to culture, phenotype, and allegiance. I guess that’s why the white boys will root for the white boys. That is probably the very definition of racism but we are raised on these myths from a very early age.
I think you might just be retarded. It's not racist to root for someone that is "like you." Are we supposed to self hate because of who we are?
He is definitely retarded, as he'll fight to the death to defend the right of a non-white person to cheer for their own, even for their right to physically attack you, while seething with rage at any success a horrible white person may enjoy. Very weak minded individuals, unable to resist the myths they've been taught from a very early age lol. They're not smart enough to ever ask themselves why they think this way, just who taught them to hate their own while also teaching them to exalt all others, especially certain select groups who are always to be regarded as sacred.
Kudos to Rupp. It will be interesting to see what Mo does to try and top this.

If you run one time many, many times (2:09-plus) and another time once (2:06-plus) then you are officially the 2:09 guy since that is the time you usually run.
What line did you get in when they were handing out brains?

For crying out loud, just admit you're a self-hating, scrawny, latte sipping weakling who sports a BLM shirt, a beanie, has low test levels, and a girlfriend who cheats on you with more manly "immigrants", while you're too scared to say anything so you just hope that they bring her back in time for breakfast.

Glad youve come around. Welcome to the Rupp fan club. Trust me, its better on this side.
I know I’m suppose to be excited. I’ve basically watched this guy grow up. But here’s a guy we want to pretend is an elite Marathoner running an offbeat marathon against an unimpressive field. Punic victory for a guy with all science can give you an probably a little more than competitive policies are trying to allow. I’d take his victories in Eugene anyday.

Yeah but it depends on the Minuet.
Not 3 of these

So, previously, Rupp was a "2:09 guy". Now he's a "2:06 guy".
Ok, fine. What's interesting is how many "2:04 guys" and "2:05 guys" have finished behind Rupp in previous marathons. Obviously, if a "2:04 guy" races against Rupp, who is a "2:09 guy", the "2:04 guy" wins by 5 minutes, right?
Just doesn't seem to work out that way.
Not sure how many "2:04 guys" Rupp beat in Rio, Boston and Chicago and now Prague, but it's quite a few. How do we account for that? A lot of "2:04 guys" seem to come out of Dubai, but just can't seem to pull it off in head to head races.
I'd like to suggest that the moniker "2:04 guy" and "2:06 guy" doesn't mean that much; it's head to head competition that tells the story.
So now Rupp is a "2:06 guy". Well, he's finished 1st, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, DNF and 1st in his marathons so far, and beaten a number of "2:04 guys". What's the deal with that?
This is exactly why he needs to run in Berlin or London or wherever Kipchoge, Bekele et. al. are going to be.

He's correct
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Matt Choi was drinking beer halfway through the Boston Marathon
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
