Yes it's going to interesting to see how he runs in Daegu. Galen and Mo Farah are both in amazing shape but Galen has yet to show what Alberto and Mo Farah said he is capable of running this year.

Birmingham showed me enough. Closing in 54 seconds to finish second tells me he can at least run 12:55. The NY half was impressive too. I think that showed he could have run sub 27 at that time. But there was an earthquake in New Zealand so he didn't.

Capability means nothing. Actual accomplishments are what matters.
from an investing standpoint, understanding the reasons and fundamentals of why something is going to go a certain direction is what makes one rich (or in this case right). They don't have to specifically say when, but just know that more than likely it is going to happen within some timeframe. That skill/belief/conviction is what makes some rich and some poor.
i think you are the type who can only buy at the top, when the results or "actual accomplishments" are in. That is what great investors call a sheeple move.

i don't recall him in any recent elite 1500s/3k to test this ?!
you do realise, komen, a guy who woud likely be outsprinted by a HS gal on the last lap of a slow 5k, ran 3'29 just off his 3k/5k endurance !?
Well, it is now almost 2 years later, and Galen has not broken 13 minutes yet. Perhaps it should not have been "Waiting for Godot," but instead "Waiting for Galen."
Honestly, raise of hands. If you could choose between having Rupp's performance at Birmingham last year and running the sub 13 performances that Solinsky, Teg, and Ritz have had what would you take? I would take Rupp's Birmingham performance. He clocked around 13:06 but ran sub 55 for the last lap outkicking Merga for second place. That was arguably the best complete performance in a 5K ever by a non African.
Wasn't Rupp with the lead pack when he was tripped by Merga and Mo Farah went on to win in 12:53? So to me Rupp is already a sub 13 minute guy as Mo said any time performance he did in 2011 Rupp could duplicate and Rupp proved that with his 26:48.00 AR. I think Solinsky also DNF in that race due to Merga.
