All you seem to hear about is how much Galen Rupp devotes to his running to get to the level he is at. My question is how much attention is paid to his nutrition? With all the harp on Alan Webb and Fam for their past lack of nutrition, is G-Rupp doing something right these two ren't, or in Fam's case weren't?
One of my friends up in the Oregon area used to train with Galen some in high school. He said Alberto used to give him a lot of stuff to take. (NO not drugs or anything illegal. I wish I could tell you more, but my friend seem to give the impression that nutrition and any aided source like some kind of multi-vitamins was important enough for AlSal to give to Galen.
Now my question is, anyone know exactly what that is? Like possibly b-vitamin complex stuff(just an example)?
I saw him standing in line for a shaved ice at the Olympic Trials so a little sugar must be okay.
Think he passed on the pizza and cake at last night's welcome home event.

Thyroid medication. Testoboost and Androgel.
I highly doubt anyone gets through with nats...then passes on pizza AND cake
Common now
i think everyone goes straight for the beer, who wants cake and pizza? is this kindergarden? or is that how it is done at u of o?

This pisses me off! I wake up each morning wishing I didn't have to take my synthroid pills and all the years I spent dealing with being undiagnosed!
give him a break !
You clearly no very little about the University of Oregon.
It is very much a party school, and like most colleges, there is plenty of beer about.
But a track team is like any small society, it can reflect the greater society outside of it.
Galen is catholic, and a focused athlete, with a coach who knows a ton about health and running...from nearly running himself to death once, and to nearly ruining his health through running...
So, I doubt Galen drinks. I doubt he drinks soda pop (bad for runners).
If he had a shaved ice at the trials, I am sure he practices balance in how much sugar he eats.
The dude is incredibly focused. If there is a person more focused than Alberto, it is Galen.
Galen seems to have the traits of several Oregon greats...it is like his drive is part Alberto, his trust in his coach is like Centro Sr., and his running style is part Bill McChesney, and the rest is all Galen the Great!

And as we all know....Catholics do not drink, smoke, have sex, or impure thoughts...let alone an unbalanced diet...
Seriously, did I need to say more about the kind of Catholic Galen is, with all that is available in the press online?
Not to mention the extensive articles on he and his family lately.
And can you really picture Galen playing Beer Pong?
I don't think so.
And for his athletic career, that's a good thing.
McChicken eats Galen Rupp.
I saw him at a bar a week or so after indoors, but didn't think to see what he was drinking. I did, however, drunkenly tell him how badass I thought he was. True story.
Possibly you did.
I don't tend to hang out with guys old enough to be my youngest son.
--I would however be very surprised to learn something like that Galen drank like Centro's dad in college.
(Centro Sr. would laugh at this.)

Do you really think Galen would be up this late?

Nice try though, kinda funny.

there is only one kind of Catholicism....that was the whole point of Martin Luther and his 95 Theses....?
If you are the product of a U of O education...then its reputation is WELL deserved...
In one of the flotrack interviews, i think after he won the 5k, he spoke of his eating habits the night before. He said that he had like mcdonalds and taco bell. Same thing most other college kids eat. And that he didnt get to sleep til late (which for a college kid is at least 3). He did speak about trying to get a better sleep/meal in before the 10k, someone mentioned pasta.
info is out there guys, just look for it.
Info is out there, thats why theres message boards
