Weldon never posts on here. He's driving back from the Holidays. Looks like OP is in Michigan. I doubt it's Ritz as Ritz doesn't want Rupp in those Trials.
Um... What do you mean Weldon never posts on here?

you've clearly never heard of Eluid Kipchoge then... 1500m PR 3.33 Mile PR 3.50 Marathon PR 2.04.00 AND a favourite for the gold at Rio
Now I'm not saying Rupp will be as good as Kipchoge but just highlighting this guys ignorance
Now, I'm not disagreeing with the point that someone with a low 3:30 1500 PR can do very well at the marathon, but I am going to point out that medaling was specified.
i mean 332 ability and marathon at 204 in the same season.sure rupp can do a marathon, but he will have to give up track.he needs his A game and everything perfect to medal. marathon training is not going to help track. he can probably run a 207 marathon which gets you exactly what???

2:07 puts him in the mix to win every Olympic marathon ever held. Only 2008 was won with a faster time.
