One might think that for an elite runner, racing other elite runners more than one or twice per season is part of the program. It is for everyone else at his level.
Most of the East Africans are chasing after DL points to get that big diamond at the end of the series & Ethiopia is picking their teams on times... This is a likely reason for their under performance in recent championships, too much racing.
I'm sure AlSal has a plan, but I do admit I wish Rupp was racing a bit more. He needs a bit of that trial and error that comes with racing with elite competition, and you just don't get that racing for the hometown crowd in Eugene, or in a time trial.
And it reminds me a bit of Webb's disastrous '08 season coming off his AR in '07...he ran one or two races the entire year leading up to the Oly Trials, had a pretty disastrous showing at the Pre Classic that year, and with little time to make adjustments, got hammered in the Oly. trials. He should've been racing more, I think, to better find his form with competing talent, toughen up instead of being seemingly treated like a china doll post AR, as if his fitness was going to remain where it was following that race.
It is concerning, therefore, that Rupp is being held back so much. You gotta use it or lose it, I figure. If you're fit, go and race! Because if you wait and wait and wait for that key race, you're rolling the dice. If that race goes badly, then what was all the waiting for?

Rupp will never reach 12:52, but he could get to sub 3:30 if he focused on it. He's wasted his whole career on the wrong event.
Hahahha give me a break!

There we have it. You always have to let your emotions devalue your comments vento-imposter, try to keep your head cool and be more objective in the future.

Seriously. Get help.

Google it, old man. And yes I can tell you're an old man because nobody other than creepy old men has used the phrase salad-tosser for years.
It gets better. Get help.
I have to admit it, but more racing may not have helped Rupp in Moscow. He simply did not have the ability for racing sharpness to even be relevant.

You're still licking asz, salad tosser.
Rupp's days are over. He was extremely lucky that he got a medal in a slow race at the time he was on top.
How creepy is it for a guy in his 40's to be so completely obsessed with a 27/28 yo male distance runner? Stop. Seriously. It's weird. Just stop.

Please don't tell me that you are more than 15 years old. That would be so incredibly pathetic.

We've covered this.
I'm a 12 year-old girl.
And I post about many, many other runners. More than you.
And Rupp's "Season of Ducking" ended in a WC FAIL.
Galen will be ready sooner or later. Heard Salazar speak at a high school this last year. The plan for Galen is down the road. He is not doing ..say Mo's load of work yet. Where he is at...seemed right were they expect him to be.
I clicked on this because I thought there might be information on future race plans for Rupp and others. Instead, it's just the same guy repeating the same things from months earlier. Just pathetic. Seriously, do you log on just to repost the same statement about one guy over and over?Come up with something to say!
