How does Rupp do in NY

Hi, I am close friends with a runner in the pro field of the nyc marathon. An up-to-date list of all running in the elite mens race was sent out yesterday to athletes, coaches, and managers. According to that list Mantz is not running but this maybe subject to change as the list is not final. Cheers :)

Seems that is likely the case.

2nd place under the old course record, I'll bump this when I'm right.

IIRC, Rupp only DNF'd the 2018 Boston where about 1/3 of the male elite field DNFd due to weather.

He's had gritty non winning, non PR finishes at 2018 Chicago where he ran through an Achilles issue, 2021 Tokyo Olympics where he survived the heat to finish 9th, and 2022 Eugene WCs where he finished 19th.

If he starts NYC, he'll probably finish between 2:09-2:11. Odds of a DNF are pretty low.

I think Rupp will run 3 more marathons after NYC. 2023 Boston. 2024 Oly Trials. 2024 Paris.

After that he retires from competition and takes on some sort of athlete development position with Nike

He also was a DNF in Chicago 2019. That was like a week after Alberto was banned so not sure how much that played into it. Hasay also dropped out of that race not long after 5k in and I remember passing her and seeing her crying as she was running like 7 minute pace.

I agree with this poster. That'll be pretty much how it plays out for the next 2 years.

As for his time, if the weather is truly decent, I believe he'll be top 3 and break 2:08. If it's windy and warm, sub 2:10

2:08:10 and wins.

In pre-race presser he says his buildup has gone great, never better in fact. Finishes 4th, behind Chebet, Korir, and either Kibet or True. Second American either way. Runs 2:11. In post-race presser he blames something in his buildup.

Mantz is not running NYC. It’s likely that he’ll run Valencia if everything goes well over three weeks.

Good I think Mantz can run a 2:06 in The Valencia Marathon.

4th American behind Fauble, True, Fischer (top three in no particular order)

I think he's more competitive in NY than a flat race with pacers like Chicago or Berlin. Having said that, probably DNF :/

Ruppppp haters for years have talked about how he will DNF before he races. Let's just say, he rarely fails to finish a race. Boston in the rain? Many people did not finish that day.

behind Oscar the Grouch, Boring Ben, and Tinmom's protege! Say it isn't so!

2:07:50 for fifth place.

Rupp has had a very good career. But at this point he's a nice guy that wants to finish NY running and injury free. 2:10 40ish

Many, many of his marathons have had very warm weather. His 206 at Chicago is an example as well as both olympics. His health is the main thing.

Didn't he also DNF at the NYC Half? He hasn't been himself in a while. It's always astonishing to me how fervent people can be about athletes. It wasn't that long ago that people on these boards were saying he was capable of breaking 2:03, you guys are completely crazy. A 2:10 would be a very good result for him on this course, he may go a little faster but I wouldn't bet on it.

DNF or 2:10 ish....

He's done and dusted 😂😂😂😂
