7:42 is his PR from indoor worlds, after a prelim.

Man your sucking Galen Rupp's cock too much. I say no better than 7:33-7:34. I know its hard for you Galen Rupp fanboys to be realistic (Shits been going on for nearly 2 years now) but at least try to be.

You mean like the fanboys who said he'd be cracking at 13 and 27 this year? Yeah like that is gonna happen ;-)
I say 2 seconds of whatever the winning time is so 7:31-7:33.
They confused Rupp with Solinksi. Not in looks or with attitude but they stole Solinksi's times.
7:38

I'll take "fanboy" (by your own definition) Dathan Ritzenhein's word over yours. Even if ends up not happening this year, it should have and just bad luck will have prevented it.
What was the second time he broke an AR and didn't get it this year, by my calculations it was just the 10K. I may be mistaken, but I am pretty sure it would be only his second time if that fantasy happens. My 2 cents is that AlSal and Rupp think they know what it takes to run those times. There is a reason no one has come close to BK's 3k mark 7:30.84 is FAST! I say 7:37 max!
In regards to the DNF he may have looked good at 4K, but let's remember a few races that the last lap has gone array. Rupp's very own 13:10. At 4k he looked good as well hitting just under 10:30 I believe and that last lap was brutal 65 or slower, also Solinsky a few years ago looked good at 4k and the wheels came off the last lap. Looking good at 4k and finishing off the effort are two very different things.
Indoor 5k. He beat the old record, which was his, but Lagat beat him.

Not surprising that you couldn't remember a well publicised indoor 5K record attempt with he and lagat, both breaking rupps old AR.
7:30 is fast, about as fast as 3:32 or 12:57. So if you think americans can possibly run that fast, then you can believe that they can run 7:30 in a fast race. Kennedy was part of 3000s that dipped under 7:30, dragged along. That is what makes it hard for our guys, races are won in 7:32-7:37. If it goes as fast as a 3000 like Kennedy was treated to, Lagat is gonna blast it and you can bet your lucky Galen penny that he is gonna blow the doors off 7:37.
You do realize that last week he came by in 7:46 and then picked it up in the next 1000. Solinsky has already run 7:36 (old pr when he was 13:12) and he couldn't even beat rupp at 3000 indoors a few months back. You know solinsky is ready for 7:30-7:32.
Puuleeeez come back here in about 8 days to eat crow.
More to the point Kennedy was running in mobs of guys going under 7:30. But Kennedy neared 7:30 several times, but he was never as good for 5000 as Lagat, Solinsky and Rupp are right now.

I've heard nothing of pacing plans so my wild guess is they fall to about 7:35 pace at 2400 and Lagat and Kiptoo kick in for about 7:31-7:32 with Rupp at 7:33.78 (mark it!).
Be dissapointing if this is a 7:38 sit and kicker to a 7:35 win, 15 seconds off the WR.
There's evidence that Polish, Russians, Italians are not real whites, but there's not on person in hell that doesn't consider Rupp to be 100% White ;-)
Rupps 1500 / Mile is still no better than around 3.39 / 3.57 is it? No way that is fast enough to run 7.30...
Unless he runs sub 3.35 he tops out at 7.40+
IIRC vent has him going ~7:28 in a "perfect" race, but I'll call a 7:36 for 5th. Rupp's just doesn't have the speed to get the AR, and will probably end his career with a 7:32-33 PR. Tegenkamp is the brightest hope with 7:31.0c, but he's been pretty stale of late.

Haha, wow. Really you think a workout double at regionals is really his max at 1500? He OPENED up indoors with 3:56 this year, ran 7:50 hours later and i think he had a workout or tempo after that.
3:39 was a workout at regionals in ncaas. He went 1500 heat, 5000 final, 1500 final in 3:39. Beating guys who ran 3:37-3:38.
Not as extreme, but this is a bit like the folks who never thought wheating could run 3:33 or faster.
I'm not saying he'll approach 7:30, but he just split 7:46 last week before picking it up on the next 1000.
And good night tucson.
Okay I can admit I was wrong I forgot about the indoor 5k, I was thinking only of outdoors, I stand corrected. However, to say that Rupp or Solinsky for that matter picked it up after 7:46 last week is false and if you did the math you would see that. At best they kept it the same. The two kilometers from 2k to 4k were each 2:39- 2:40. The final kilometer that he didn't run was picked up, but not the middle two.
Rupp to run 7.33, Lagat to run 7.29 AR and Mo Farah to break the BR with 7.30
7:35. He should be about 4 seconds faster then what Tim Broe, a 3:39/7:39/13:11 guy, could run. Its amazing that it was only 5 years ago that Tim Broe was the best American Distance runner with a 13:11. 5 years really isn't that long ago, but was before the Teg, Solinsky, Rupp, Ritz, Hall, Webb, breakthroughs. Amazing how far this country has come in distance running in 5 years. I would guess that Moran and Curtis, this year, could run as fast as Broe did at his best.
Going forward, I honestly think on any given year, the new normal for the USA will be to have 10 guys sub 13:10 and 5-6 sub 13:00. THAT is truly phenomenal.
