Who is coaching Galen Rupp?

I will coach Rupp. He could also be crowd-coached by every poster here. Worst case he could enter the tutelage of Inferior Coach JS, who has given stock advice to a number of near-elites of Rupp's caliber.

First bit of advice I have: give up the marathon, you're never gonna win at anything but B-level US races and olympics. You were doing great on the track, and there's probably still no American who can beat you at 10,000.

When you say a 'number of near-elites' I recon you include me in that pool.

Btw, no merican can beat him at 42k either.

Seriously, what’s to prevent Salazar from texting/emailing/Skyping/telephoning Rupp for hours every week to give him workouts, talk about how they went, etc? And knowing Nike’s opposition to the ban, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they gave Saladbar an office with a bird’s eye view of the corporate track and Al just happened to show up to work at the same time Rupp was working out.

That's crazy to think that in America we are free to interact with other American citizens

Shouldn't he be old enough to coach himself by now?

I definitely agree, but Galen seems to be an insecure kind of guy. His relation with Alberto is almost sickening.

Random a$$hole on the internet calling out one of USA's best distance runners ever for being insecure.

That's a good one.

I actually encountered Rupp with his new coach at the NHQ track while he was doing a workout.

The new coach is possibly female, chances of hyperandrogenism significantly high. She introduced herself, after some hesitation, as Alberta Sanzabar. Initial impressions were that she was smug and aloof. She did not have much in the way of a bosom except on the left side of her chest where a slight protrusion better resembling a box more so than anything natural and human and luscious and seducing. Shockingly this unnatural cuboidal teet encompassed the entirety of Rupps postworkout routine. Immediately following his final rep Rupp curled up on Alberta’s lap and began to placidly suckle on Her teet. As I watched Rupp suckle it was as if you could visibly see his muscles recover, twitching tremendously and slowly growing before my very eyes.

Good idea but poor execution.

He probably knows more about Training and Coaching then half the people reading this.

Not half, but probably 99% of LRC readers.

You’re right. Your post was much cleverer than mine....like who in the hell uses the phrase “don’t quit your day job” that just like next level hilarious, I think I’m gonna steal it

tell that to the restraining order my ex placed against me

Somewhere in Portland a new priest has taken Holy Orders. His only duty is to take confession from a cabal of skinny Nike clad penitents a couple times a week.

LateRunerPhil will be coaching Rupp, using Tinman's methods he learned through reading articles on the internet.

Salbero Alazar

Everyone knows it’s Banana Bread

Actually it should be, “Whom is coaching Galen Rupp?”

I've tried to find information on who is in charge of his training. I know he's talked to Julian as mentioned in one of his interviews. He also indicated that he's talked to Al Sal in a non-running format.

With the trials only a couple months away, I wonder who he will go with?

Breaking news! JS is in charge!

What will happen?
