Galen Rupp (and Rhonex Kipruto, Sara Hall, Molly Seidel, Senbere Teferi) Running NYC Half Marathon next month

I predict rupp will draft for 12.9 miles and then kick that last .2

i also think rupp is a big egotistical crybaby

Yawn. Speculating on Rupp races is now akin to guessing what Bekele will do next. In both instances, there's an equal chance they don't show up as there is showing up with a million excuses leading into the race incase things go wrong

What am I missing?

Galen Rupp - 2020 wins Olympic Marathon Trials
2021 8th place Olympics
2nd place Chicago Marathon

Where is he not showing up?

Perhaps Glen Rop will get the AR. If he's off by more than 2 minutes he may or may not be done.

Would like to see Rupp race Connor Mantz.

Is sub 60 possible for old man Rupp?

If Rupp wins, Nike will briefly consider some promotional campaign including All Things Galen, then remember this is Galen Rupp, and they'll give up.

When Rupp finishes in sixth, it will be because training etc., and this is the plan.

But he WILL be in some shoe we've never seen before.

big egotistical crybaby = 1:50 Mile, 2 mile US record, 3K US Record, 5K 12:58, 10K US record, 10 Mile road record.

No American has ever finished within 45 seconds of Rupp in a marathon he has completed.

8X US 10K Champ
1X US 5K Champ
2X US Marathon Champ

Under the banner of free speech absent accountability, you have created a haven for anonymous nihilistic trolls and haters who add little of apparent value beyond forum hit counts?

I think the forum they created is wonderful. It's not for everyone. If you are weak and easily triggered by microaggressions then may I suggest another platform.

Open dialogue always bothers soft people. I get it. You have to hear opinions that you disagree with and this makes you sad.

You can always just use the new and improved filters/blocks to help make sure you are just being presented with information that you agree with and support.

Hope this helps.

Hi Wejo, big fan of the Spotify podcast, next time can you please mention Rupp's patented and soon to be banned Opposite Side of Road Stealth Technique that he debuted at Chicago ?? I believe this could have a huge impact at World Champs marathon as he sits in blind spot before unleashing a devastating kick to win the gold medal.

If paired with Nike Chilled Hats, Pollen Respirator, Nose Strip, and Aero Tape I believe he will be unbeatable and run sub 2. Pls discus.

Rupp so rarely races, but he really needs to run something, hell anything, before Eugene. A half would make sense, but what if (God forbid) an up and coming American hops in the race and beats him. It's plausible. What if Grant Fisher hopped in as a "training run" and beat him. Grant beat Rhonex in Tokyo.

According to the announcement on the NYRR website (https://www.nyrr.org/media-center/press-release/20220222_nychalfprofield), you'll get your wish - Rupp and Mantz are both entered.

OH MAN! I hope they both show up. Connor can definitely run low 60's. He has that speed work going also - fresh of a 3K indoor.

Galen got crushed in London by Marc Scott of Bowerman late last year in the half. Hopefully, he can rebound.

If Dion Marquise Hayes is running then Rupp is irrelevant.

As a newish fan of T&F and running in general. Galen Rupp may be boring and robotic but he is the only true professional runner the US has for any distance 10K and above. If we use the MLB as an analog for professional running Galen is the only US male distance runner in the show... ever other US male distance runner is in the minors (mostly in A or AA) with only a handful of others even making to AAA

Sara Hall is in the elite lineup for the Tokyo Marathon on March 6th. Does she really plan on running an all out half just 2 weeks later?

Why not?

I am sick of all these half marathons and Chicago marathons. Why can't Rupp go mix it up with the elites at Berlin, London or Dubai? Isn't he Galen MF Rupp? Does he bow before the likes of Kipchoge and admit he's 2nd tier?

Fisher and a healthy Lopez are every bit as competitive at 10k as Rupp is at the marathon. Seidel got a medal. I don't agree with your comment.
