This is why Galen Rupp bothers me, although maybe Salazar talks him into this stuff. He has ZERO chance at running 8:10 and it is obvious to the intelligent. He will be fortunate to run 8:15 if everything falls into place. He has absolutely no chance at running faster than 8:15. I will NEVER post here again if Rupp runs faster than 8:15 this weekend.

The intelligent, are those who post here and have known all along that you are an ignorant and immature dbag.

Hope you enjoyed the door in your ass on the way out!

what an excellent present to wake up to

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

8:09.72 AR

Well, that was satisfying to watch.

~ 52.3 / 1'49.7 -> 3'34.4 , 7'27.9 , 8'02.6 , 12'49.9 , 26'43.6

odd distances like 2 miles are hard to pace because of rarity of run, but 8'02+ was theoretically possible

now, i believe this race is run at fayetville which is a "wide" indoor track & i got rough estimate it'd be only ~ 3s slower than outdoors for 2 miles

in peak form, he is capable of

~ 8'06/8'07

those estimates are for a "perfect race"

someone posted that his splits were 4'08/4'01 ???

if that is anywhere near true, then i'm sure he wouda been ~ 8'06/8'07 at even pace

take home message is that rupp is capable of

<12'50

( maybe even now )

One of the greatest days of all time on Letsrun. The idiots had a bad, bad day.

"Sarah Hall- why does she continue to compete?"

"Galen Rupp has no chance to beat Lagat's AR"

You cannot make this up.

Pretty good prediction there, yyy!

Can Rojo ban this guy for life?

8:09 is 61's (per 400m) which is also 12:42 pace for 5000m. I don't know his 3000m split but at 61-sec per lap as an average pace, he very likely hit the 3k mark around 7:40 +- 2 seconds. So he's probably ready to go out and run a 7:36/7 3000m. I'd say Rupp definitely has shown he deserves to be in the company of the top competitors in the world. After his 26:48, this is one of the most impressive records I think he's achieved (not to mention his previously-held 13:11i AR).

So far in the last 12 months or so: 60:30, 26:48, 13:11i AR, 13:07, 3:57, 8:09 AR

Too bad Webb isn't having as fortuitous a career at this moment as Rupp. Although, both have yet to grab a medal at a major world championship.

You are not even mentioning that Rupp has demonstrated he can close in 54-55 (last year at Birmingham and USATF). For a 10000M runner that is good even by East African standards. You can see him becoming a very good 10000M runner in every aspect.

SUCK ON THAT, SOLINSKRAP!

Stop with this Solinsky hate. He's recovering from hamstring issues. We know you're pissed that he didn't "man up" and ruin his hammie at WC's. Get over it.

WAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA... I have extra hats for your consumption.

Brilliant.
