Meb is unreal. Even if he blows up he's leading at mile 19. At 41!!
I love this guy.

I'm not sure why Shalane and Cragg broke away so early. Not smart in the conditions. Both are pretty much guaranteed a spot why not ' sit and kick' in the last 2 miles? Desi is doing the smart thing.
hasn't cragg blown up several times in the past? she still has a long way to go
Meb beckons Rupp to the lead. RUPP DENIES HIM. He's gonna sit on Meb until 1 mile to go and kick it in for the win.
"and his heart rate never went over 150 which is remarkable by any physiological standards.."
heart rate with no context is a meaningless number you dope.
I wonder if Rupp clipped his heals. More used to track racing maybe.
Kevin Castille has dropped out.
Desi closing on Kellyn Taylor.
No one cares about bball.
Rupp did a 20 mile workout at 4:50 pace and his heart rate never went above 150bpm - that's nuts...
Pennel overlooked with a sub 4 and 101 half.

Did I hear that right? I thought I heard Craig Masback say that Salazar told him RUpp ran a 20 mile workout at 4:50 pace and his HR never went over 150. Is that what they said?>
I asked the media guy sitting next to me and he said, "If true, that's a redlag."
I just started laughin. 150 HR? That's not even threshold.
Dang Ed Eyestone!

He did give context... he said that was during a 20-mile training run at 4:50 pace.
Cragg looks way better than shalane.
Either linden has brass balls, or she isn't feeling it... I think the former.
Why is Meb pushing it? Relax bro.
No way Meb blows up, he never pushes the pace unless he can hold it. I say it is a battle for 3rd at this point.
Mile 19 in 5:29 for dathan, 4:55 for leaders
I really needed to know a college basketball score and soccer game. Thanks.
Late to the thread... Not sure if anyone's mentioned that Rupp is bringing back the cut up singlet look, a la Salazar 1984.
This a great race by two all time talents but it doesn't bode well for the future of U.S. marathoning if the top two are a 20 year old and a track runner.
When you reach 6.2 to go in the marathon and the only thing between you and a victory is the U.S. 10k record holder jogging next to you.
