I'm pretty sure it was the same surgery I had back in November. Torn labrum and FAI. I was running 1min on 1min off 4m after surgery. It takes about a year to be completely pain free. I could train for real by June. He's a lot younger and has a better team, so I imgaine his process will be quite a bit better.

Sure, Abdi made another olympic team at 43, but a 2:10 won't cut it anymore.

blood circulation to area needs maximization.

DMSO

platlet growth factors

stem cells proper clinic, non scam

avoid clinics with insane hygene protocol and doctors in NASA space suits. for the very gullable public

above in combination will speed recovery several times.

and look at allignment . leg length.

amazingly, this "obvious protocol will elude many that have been to the rodeo.

DMSO alone might be all you need.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope he can return to running pain-free. That being said, hard to see that he could get back to even national class. His body is telling him his competitive days are over. He should listen. He's had a great career.

I would say he has earned both the full blessing of being able to retire as a champion and legend of American distance running and also the pathway to try whatever he wants with the end of his career. Rupp has had some long periods of injury and recovery and always made it back to [effectively] the top of the USA marathon pool.

Runners World has published an excellent Q&A Sarah Lorge Butler has done with Mike Smith. At the end of it, he talks about Galen Rupp's status:

SLB: spoke briefly to Ricky Simms, Galen Rupp’s agent, at the Trials, and he said Galen had surgery after the Marathon Trials. How is he doing?

MS: He had surgery on a hip that had been giving him trouble for years right after the marathon Trials, and that was a really long, slow rebuild. And fortunately, he’s getting healthy, but there was a long, long road, and he is still on it. So we’ll see. I mean he’s a competitor. If he can come back, he will. He had a pretty significant surgery.
