Oh come on now, Rupp ran probably less than 10 races all of last year, Indoors and out.An absurdly low number.
From May through Sept 30th he ran , what?? 6 races, he was hardly over worked.

It is not the number of races, it is when the training is done and when the peaks are reached. His post-XC schedule was focused on the Trials and the Olympics. I would guess that he has training runs that are as hard as many training races (e.g., top 4 guys running in a pack, top guy is well within himself). I think he and his coach know more about training and peaking than you do. They also know more about his objectives than you do.

So who is Rupp's coach anyway? Vin? Salazar?Oh I get it -- NIKE! His training an schedule is decided by a board at Nike headquarters.

re: Terminator X

rupp has to earn his spot? he was the top american finisher at 10k at the olympics! he was second in div I xc last year at nationals! I assume he won't run at all if he isn't in shape. no doubt too that he "earns" his spot every day in practice.

Any one else notice Lindsey Scherf is now running for Oregon women. How on earth does she still have eligibility left. i though she left Harvard like 3 years ago.

Scherf graduated from Harvard in June '08. She received a medical redshirt for her junior and senior years at Harvard due to a serious foot injury that finally required surgery last February. As a grad student at Oregon for the next two years, she can compete for them for at least one full year, and perhaps two -- if the PAC-10 accepts the 2-year medical redshirt that she received from the IVY League. A 2-year medical red shirt can extend one's competitive window from 5 to 6 years, as can military service, mission work and pregnancy. Scherf hasn’t been around forever. I believe she is still age 21.

re: jonesy.

W/ or w/o Rupp, Oregon is deep. they sat 4 of their top guys and still won (Props to Portland for a great race). Okla. State will have their hands full but it doesn't matter who's good now at this point. It all counts in Indiana once Oregon and Okla. State step to the starting line and once they cross the finish line.

re: Wise Guy

I know it is on the up and up, but how on earth do you get two years of medical red shirts from a league/university that has NO red shirting available to begin with?

If you get hurt your frosh year at an Ivy, my understanding is that you lose that year, why would it be different back ended?

I am honestly asking, not criticizing.
