Rupp squeezing between 2 walkers on the inside lanes of a track during his sprint interval

I got the impression the clinic and track are in the same building so he's doing a token run while there.

Yeah if he shoved them over and yelled GET THE HELL OUT THE WAY I wouldn't blame him. And the thing is some of these entitled idiots actually feel as if its somehow their right to block lane 1 waddling around.

This is true. It's like they feel that the faster runners have to be considerate of the slower ones but not the other way around.

Yep, totally agree, going around 1 person or even single file people who are running in lane 1 is fine.

Track etiquette is being considerate of others. If you’re training in a group and there are multiple groups training, then stay in lane 1 and don’t make it difficult for people to pass you.

Alberto is such a liar. He was never the world record holder in the marathon.

What is with Rupp's serious stare in this video?

Galen, blink once if you're being held against your will.

This comes across as a Sopranos infomercial, with Galen as, Moltasanti advertising the "Services" the Bing can provide all fine Gentlemen

I know that feel, Rupp. I do similar passive-aggressive move for walkers or joggers in lane 1, kinda like how fighter jets "buzz" enemy ships.

Jesus, who cares? The real thing to watch is freakish body language between Rupp and Al Sal.

WTF is she doing on the phone, one the track?

That clinic had a prescient name.

"Sports medicine" nudge nudge wink wink.

I'd like to know what treatment he gave for Rupp's calf strain, because that's an injury that recurs and that really keeps you from running fast for months without recurrence.

Seriously F you, people who are slow and 'running' in lane one need to GTFO of the way because you are RUNNING SLOW. It won't matter if you're in lane 5. For someone doing repeats, yes, it does make a difference. Don't be that jackass who walks in lane one, end of story.

Wrong.

Like other people on this thread are saying, if an elite runner wants to sprint on a track that is usually used for geriatric rehab, it is not up to the geriatrics to change patterns for some guy who randomly drops in and wants to do 24-second 200s during walking hour.

What is a serious runner doing sprints in lane 1, anyway??

It's a standard 200m athletics track, not a track "usually used for geriatric rehab."

Rupp is in lane 2 not lane 1.

Everything about this video is weird. The weird staring, the weird body language and splitting the gap of those two lady’s like it was the final lap of an actual race.

Why do you mention two walkers when one was clearly running?

1/2

And Rupp, hogging lane #1 while "jogging", is barely staying ahead of a woman walking in the outside lane.

Rupp needs to build his won private track. But he can't afford such a luxury.

Huh? I thought it was fairly universal etiquette to yield lane 1 to people running intervals/work outs.

Lol, "I must be loyle to my coach."

Two weeks ago I think Rupp passed me on the Wildwood Trail in Forest Park. A nasally, Rupp-like voice says "on your left" and a slender dude decked out head to toe in Nike, with a black Darth Vadar looking mask cruises by as if I was standing still. I tried keeping up with him but within about 2 minutes he was out of sight. Not sure that Rupp would be running trails though. If so, he displayed good trail etiquette, lol.

Admitted hobby jogger here. My first attempt at a BQ was on a two loop course. Everything going as planned. But I did not account for the 3:00 half marathon gang I would deal with the last 4-5 miles. To make matters worse the race featured some narrow path ways. It was truly unbelievable coming around a bend at mile 23 and seeing four 175lb plus women, in spandex, spread across a bike path chatting away. At one point I almost rolled my ankle jumping off the path and going around them. In that moment I thought it was over. I started screaming at them when I got within 50 yards. I did make the BQ, but I'll never forget it.

YOU ARE WALKING......STAY OUT OF LANE 1
