I guess you don't realize that Rupp and myself aren't the only two people in the world to have Achilles surgery with Dr. Saxena.
Dathan Ritzenhein also had Achilles surgery with Saxena.
Ritzenhein's Marathon PB before Achilles surgery - 2:10:00
Ritzenhein's Marathon PB after Achilles surgery - 2:07:47.
Ritz had the Achilles surgery in March of 2011. He set his pb on October 2012.
Just saying, and yes I know all Achilles surgeries aren't the same.
cool story brah

cool
Just sayin he’s done. You saw it here first.
Of course the surgery has nothing to do with his future. Nike and Salazar will make sure he never competes (at house previous level) again, and yes, i am a fan.
Did you PR in the marathon after your surgery?
Sample size of 1 (Dathan) is as meaningless as your post. If you want to make your analysis meaningful than compile the before and after results for all athletes that had surgery by dr sax. Then collate the results by when in the career the athlete had the surgery so we can assess how much age impacted their overall recovery and career trajectory.
Will Galen recover? Probably. Will he come back better than before? Maybe. I certainly hope so!
You don’t know the future and neither does anyone else. For a site that thrives on gossip and speculation, I’d figure you’d understand that best. Just because you’ve had the surgery, it doesn’t make you an authority more than any other blowhard on this board. Facilitate discussion, don’t pretend your opinion is worth more than anyone else’s because that’s all it is... an opinion.
I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure they would have used a scalpel for the surgery, not a fork
But they're going to stick him with some EPO too
Who is this "ritz" guy? Haile Gebrslassie had both achilles operated on.
Parker Stinson also had achilles surgery after college.

Yeah, we don't know the future--that's why you shouldn't go sticking forks in people. He's going to have trouble coming back and running fast if he has a bunch of forks sticking out of him.
I actually respect both of your running career's.
So what's your point ?
Hey Rojo, can we send Rupp a get well soon card?
