Yall need to stop being Rupptarded...
He ran 13:37 as an 18 year old...remember? Ran a 27:33 back in 2007. 2007! What do you think he's been doing since?
18 13:37
19 28:15
20 ...
21 13:30/27:33
22 13:18i (take at least 10 seconds off for outdoor conv)
23 2 National titles in 24 hours against stiff comp.
We all know Rupp has yet to be really pushed in a time trial 10k, He was 10 seconds off his PR from the year prior last year in the trials 10k, much more tactical. He's beaten a 27:28 fresh.
He's 20 seconds faster in the 10 than his PR. Likely even better than that. His 5k, reasonably is under 13:10. If he gets a fast rabbited race, low 13.
We could be looking at a Sub 27, Sub 13 this year from Rupp, although it will be difficult. His times will surprise everyone.
