Galen Rupp’s 2:06:07 is NOT even Worth a Sub 27 10000m

He also makes interviews only when things go his way. Chump

What's America's 2nd best marathoner running!

Weather worth at least a minute well. Even Kipchoge lost significant time in hot weather

Kipchoge didn’t run at 15-17 celsius. He ran at 20-23. And ran 2:04 with 1:01 first half. Rupp ran in cooler weather 2:06 with 1:03 first half, and puked on the finish line- ?

Why make up sh*t? The recorded temps for London for that day are between 10am and noon are 17 to 21 celsius. Those are the temps Kipchoge ran in.

Why are you people getting your undies all bundled up over a performance which shows that Galen is no longer at his best. 2:06:07 is pretty good, but it is not Galen’s best effort as a runner. Galen is now in decline and CANNOT even run the equivalent of a sub 27. Galen now knows that Father Time is winning and he is losing as is inevitable. Good job Galen. You are like Lance Armstrong in that you cheated your way to a high level but now the decline has begun. I wonder if you feel proud as one who knows you cheated.

....I bet you're like that guy on our team that had better pr's than everybody but never, ever won a race despite hundreds of attempts.

Gosh you're stupid

Someone is jealous about Galen’s success...i wonder who it?

Let the hate flow through you.

Kipchoge is 33. Geb was in his mid thirties when he got the WR. Rupp is probably in his marathon prime right now. I would not expect to see any decline for at least 4 years.

According to the VDOT calculator he should brake the marathon world record in the right race (Berlin).

Nah this is the guy that “won” in all the workouts and pushed the easy runs yet still got smashed in every race.

Likely PRs in the 4:5X / 10:2X / 17:low range with high mileage. Never once gained a spot in a kick finish.

Also most likely to try and give terrible advice to the freshmen that he would eventually end up losing to.

Am I close?

Rupp now has his "sea legs" for the marathon and adjusted to his event. I expect he'll go 2:04 something in next race (assuming it's not NY or Chicago). He will have a final marathon PR better than Mo because I suspect No finds the marathon boring compared to track, whereas Rupp seems comfortable on the streets.

Rupp should definitely not run Boston again . They treated him like garbage . He needs to find the right race for a WR. Berlin or Amsterdam ?

you guys are incredible. just stop, it's worthless.

did you ever even consider that maybe rupp thinks running 26:44 was not as difficult as his marathon this weekend?

Nick symmonds ran 1:42.95 in the 800m. My best is 1:52.3. I could crush symmonds in a marathon

Tadesse ran 58:23 in the half marathon, is a crappy marathoner (2:10:41) relatively speaking but has run 26:37 in the 10k.

Who cares what the equivalent of a certain time is?!

rupp hasn't really cheated and you know it. pushing boundaries of rules, but no HGH. No EPO. that stuff is cheating

26:44 is 27 seconds off the WR.

IAAF gives 2:05:10, which is exactly what Rupp would run in a fast conditions race. Rupp may not be the most glittering personality in the sport, but he is consistent as f@ck
