So intersting to see that Galen is suffereing from that disc issue: I have just had the surgery for a herniated disc that was impacting my S1 nerve over the last 7 years now. That herniation has made it so that I have essentially had to give up runnning if I didn't continue to either get cortizone shots or get the surgery. 7 years of "running" with a leg that "didn't always work right" led me to change my form and now I'm doing a ton of PT, plus the surgery, to try and run, period.
Let me be really clear: without the surgery I'm done as a runner, almost essentially done a jogger, but certainly done as a competitive runner period.
That Rupp had to suffer with this and try to do a marathon build up? Ouch. Tried to be competitive as a master in the half marathon with this and it wacked my body out. To try to train through this at the hightest level? No. No way.
I have 3 weeks before I can try to run again BTW.
Herniation is when the outer membrane of the disc gets broken, and the disc leaks as a result. The leaking gel-like material can irritate the nerves. Besides that potential issue, with either a herniation or bulge, the disc might press upon nerves, causing various problems, like limb weakness and lower limb ‘referred pain’.
I had a bulge at L5-S1. I was given a special training modality (performed in water) that helped when marathon training.
NYC Marathon, with its hills, could be an additional concern for a marathoner possessing either a problematic disc bulge or herniation.

In such a case, A DNF would be a greater possibility.

Rupp mentioned that Kipchoge is 40 and still a beast but Kipchoge has been relatively injury free.
Galen has a herniated disc and does not like the surgery option. I agree that we will know a ton by the time he comes off Queensboro bridge.
I still think he is capable of breaking the AR in the next 18 months.
Galen has NO CHANCE of breaking the AR in the marathon. The fanboys never learn. You clowns are the same ones who said for a decade that Galen would break the outdoor AR at 5000m. It was never going to happen. Galen is not who he used to be as an athlete. He admits it.
As far as Gault asking about Alberto being suspended, it was the best question in the interview. It is the elephant in the room. Galen went from being very affable or cheerful to becoming rather serious and icy. It revealed everything. Galen knows Alberto cheated for his athletes. Galen got uncomfortable because he was now being deceptive (not that Galen necessarily knew about sexual assaults), but he damn well knew Alberto was shady in terms of PEDs and so it always makes him uncomfortable. Well done Gault.53 -

Honestly lost a lot of respect for J. Gault - what a piece of garbage. Two fing questions about Alberto - just looking for clickbait. Galen is a champion, you are a schmuck - just another example of brutal journalism by LetsRun.
Willing to ask Rupp about Alberto, but not Schumacher/Flanagan about Shelby. The hypocrisy is real!

Now we know the secret to 'being first American in every marathon he finishes.' Drop out when you know you can't and won't be. Technically true: always finishes as first American. Also true: doesn't always finish.
