Galen Rupp Will NOT Run Faster Than 3:34 In Lausanne

el techo parece bien, amigo!

(ese vato está loco! de nuevo!)

I wish those times were my ceiling. You say it like it is a bad thing.

3:33.68, but back in ninth place.

I am not sure how anyone can say someone can't run 3:33x in a 1500m when they 3:34x when they weren't peaking. I don't expect any great 1500m times from Rupp, but you can't possiby say he is incapable of running less than a season faster than he already has.

Btw, I think Rupp has done enough for people to stop doubting him.

I bet your GF studied a lot of ceilings too when she was away from you. (Oh! drum roll...cymbal crash)

Galen Rupp's ceiling is 3:34 for 1500m. As I have stated before and NOT been proven incorrect, Galen's ceiling on the track is as follows: 1500m 3:34, 3000m 7:32, 5000m 12:55, 10,000m 26:48. Galen will NEVER run faster than the above times. Galen did manage to medal, and I asserted that he would not, but who can account for mediocre fields in the Olympics? My genius failed me, but when it comes to ceilings, I am not wrong. I am an expert on ceilings, and tomorrow's results will vindicate me once again.

For a typical runner, a 26:48 10,000 would be equivalent to a 12:51 5000, a 7:21.9 3000, and a 3:26.8 1500 (from Jack Daniels). Rupp is probably a bit better on the endurance side, so his shorter times might be slower, but that said, even if 26:48 was his true ceiling in 10000, his 1500 ceiling is certainly not worse than 3:30 flat. He may never focus enough on speed to hit that 3:30, but I sincerely doubt he'll retire with a PR slower than 3:32.5, given that he spends at least another 2 years on the track.

Then stop spending so much time on this website and get back to work.

This practically guarantees he goes sub 3:34

You've already been proven wrong friend. Galen ran 7:31 for 3k on the way to his indoor two mile American Record. Furthermore, as has been posted already is there anything wrong with those PRs? A 12:58/26:48 olympic silver medalist would have been some strange fantasy that would have gotten you laughed at four years ago. Now all of a sudden, those credentials aren't good enough?

Agreed... K. Bekele disgraced the hallowed Olympic track with his presence.

Thank you so much! I've been wondering what his handle stands for. Makes sense.

Quite a feat, considering he was at 7:40.86 at 3018.6 meters.

"Rupp blitzed the final lap in 28.86 to cross the line in 8:09.72."

The above is absurd, in case you were interested in being informed regarding the truth, instead of being fed with nonsense. Please educate yourself.

Another moron chimes in. There is nothing like complete b.s. to bolster one's points. Educate yourself before you try posting more inanity.

No, Rupp's ceiling is very impressive. Of course, that is not even arguable.

My ceiling is white and deteriorating daily with humidity. Can you tell me what to do, oh grand master of ceilings?

Always use protection.

I wonder where ventolin^3 has been lately...... interestingly enough, this guy posts in the early hours which would correlate to 7-8 am in the UK. Just some food for thought guys.

Will the OP please stop answering his own posts, please?
