If Walmsley's 1:04 HM is an accurate indication of his ability, he would need to run close to the equivalent of an all-out effort to be with the leaders at the halfway point.
Or maybe he sandbagged it to just get the OT standard . The guy is a master tactician. It’s like a chess grand master matched up against checkers players
Yeah, sure he is? Moron.
Rupp is a lock. He will make the team even if he has to cut his foot off at the ankle and hop the rest of the way home on one leg. And then he will still contend for a medal in Tokyo.
Rupp, Korir, and Lagat will qualify.

I don't think you understand that Galen has run 2:06:17. The others are not within 3 minutes going on everyone's pr's. The poster said besides Korir who just broke 2:08. Very easy for me to understand and I'm a Liberal Politician. What's your issue, bad comprehension skills:)
"Is" means present tense. He's not currently a 2:06:17 guy and we don't know if he will get back to being one. It's not difficult.
Actually, the definition of "is" and the verb "to be" is a lot more complicated than that. I wouldn't expect you to understand, though.

Will you be running the Crim next year? I only ask because I thought you were a Grand Rapids resident. I would not lie or screw you as God is my witness, if I lost I'd pay you, cash$$$. If you're running Crim I'd see you there and I'll bet you that 3rd place will be a sub 2:13. Let me know and I'll set it up. Thanks Hardloper.
Hardloper, come on man, I wanna make a serious bet with you on this. $100 that the top 3 are all under 2:13. If I lose, I'll pay ya. What say?

Hardloper won't take it. He knows he's speaking out his butt
Walmsley will be stronger and faster than everyone else. To run a fast marathon, it is required to run 30 miles in the Grand Canyon on Tuesday, a track workout on on Wednesday, and 30 more miles in the canyon Thursday. This is common sense.

I lived there 10 years ago. Crim is 5 months after the trials so not sure how that bet would work

The bet would fine, I would see you there and pay you if you win, very easy. I wouldn't pay you BEFORE;) the race.
You've listed your name before and I'd guarantee you I'd get you the money, IF you win. List your email address and I'll be in touch within a day.
Only four months away from the US Olympic Marathon Trials on Saturday, 29 February in Atlanta, GA. According to weatherspark.com the average weather on 28 February in Atlanta is a high of 61F and a low of 41F.
In Sapporo, Japan in August the low is usually around 66F with a high of just barely under 80. Luckily the marathon begins at 6.00am although there will be a fair amount of humidity.
I am honestly feeling most comfortable with Korir, Ward and potentially insert Lagat. My biggest concern with Rupp is what is going on in his head with not being able to have Alberto around publicly. I just feel like his game is off.
Both he and Farah looked like different athletes when they ran in Chicago. Their strides looked like they had no bounce, and just appeared sapped the whole time.
With Lagat it will come down to how easy the pack has taken it on the hills, and is it enough for him to have the ability to change gears on them with 2K to go?

Oh brother, now I've heard it all. Try over analyzing things in your own life.

I come here every so often and posts like this are the reason why. Dumbest post of October, by a country mile!
I think it is possible that Rupp will skip the OT entirely, and focus on getting healthy fora title shot in Eugene.

Anything is possible, but it's not likely. He'll be in Atlanta almost for sure and ready to win. He simply wasn't 100% in Chicago, that's all.
