Galen Rupp Will NOT Break U.S. 3000m Record In Stockholm

I agree. His opponents now know that a surge after the pacemaker quits will kill his spirit.

Komen (who is a hell of a lot faster than Buster over 1500, 1609.34, 3000 and 5000) did a 800TT and only ran 1:47.3 and he was flat out. A week later he ran 7:20 for the 3K!

I'd have to indeed be "stoopid" to assume that any runner currently competing is capable of running those times, unless it is an Ethiopian, and even then I would be skeptical.

If you were an expert on ceilings, you would have nailed yours and capped off your "expert" career before you got your first prediction WRONG.

As you'd already hit your Ceiling. Dooshberry.

I am being vindicated and hailed as the expert on ceilings. Galen has NOT proven me wrong in terms of my decree on his ceiling. A medal? Sure, but in a weak Olympic 10,000m. Give credit to him for taking advantage, but in relation to his ceiling, I have been seen as clairvoyant.

can your peabrain offer what a variegated 12'46, with 1/2 dozen at bell, with a 54 finish woud be at even pace ???

Galen Rupp was not one of them, so quit imputing traits to him that he does not possess. A 54xx finish is almost par for the course for the top runners in a 5000m, in case you have had your head buried in your...ummmm....calculator.

I for one am very happy to see SPMBLNPF back. He was always one of my favorite trolls.

Will you promise never to post again if Galen Rupp does win?

By the way, how old are you? You sound like a whiny kid.

can't your peabrain comprehend that 3'50.9i has taken rupp to a hugely higher level of speed ???

this is speed concomitant with 52 finishes in slow races

Welcome back my favourite troll of the summer!

With your terrible record of predictions, you have all but guaranteed that Rupp WILL beat Lagat's record. Though in my opinion (which most would agree with) Lagat isn't a real American and thus Rupp will soon own the record. There are two points that prove this:

(1) Not born in America

(2) Raced for Kenya

He is a turncoat to his own country and therefore cannot be expected to be loyal to his new country. This makes him unnacceptable as an American.

No, only PRs at mile and shorter. 3000, 2 mile, 5000 were all set as American. And his shorter PRs (including 3:26) were done from training in the USA with Dr. Li.

If Lagat's 3000m was done as a Kenyan, why would Rupp be trying to break his AMERICAN Record? That's letsrun stupid.

You really need to be careful before calling people stupid, as what you said isn't correct at all. Just because it's the American record, doesn't mean it's his PR.

Example: Lagat's PR in the 1500 is 3:26.34, yet the American record is 3:29.30, also held by Lagat. See the difference?

Nothing that coach d wrote is contradicted by your example. Learn to read with comprehension.

Thank you so much. I had my doubts on whether Rupp would run sub 7:30, but now that you said he never would he has to!

Oh agitated one, no matter how you slice it, Galen is not a 12:42 runner, which you seem to imply. Galen will NEVER run faster than 12:55, which he may have been capable of last year. Learn to think instead of relying on a calculator which is only as useful as its operator, which, in your case, sadly, is you, which renders any result dubious.
