This was a setup for Rupp.

Is it really that hard for people to believe that a guy who has run 26:44, is a silver medalist at 10k, a recent bronze medalist at the marathon, and the runner-up from a competitive Boston marathon against a phenomenal runner could maybe win in Chicago without it being a setup?

Remember, this is Letsrun where we only care about Marathon times. Rupp is *only* a 2:10 guy. No chance he could beat mid-tier 2:06 africans, let alone 2:03/04 BIGG DOGGS

Deak. OUT!

Holy shit!

I support Rupp and Hasay.

Expect Great Things...

Where is Ryan Hall?

F the haters

If he runs 4:40s to the finish, are we looking at a 2:08-high? Does that mean the haters will say he's still only capable of 2:09?

Lifts weights 2x/week

Look at the 2:04 boys in the race, including the past winner and the world record holder, that can't hold a candle to Rupp's fire.

The women's race heats up so they focus on the one man men's race. WTF

Even if it is a little stiff, I love Rupp's form.

NBC missed every breakaway that took place with the men and women!!

The ineptitude is astounding. With the men down to 3 and obviously ready to break the race open, they spent 4 minutes showing two women running by themselves. Now that the race is coming down to the end, they are on commercial break.

What a weird race. Basically sub-elite for all but Rupp.
