if he gets in fast races and the pace doesn't slow in the middle

12:44

26:30

possible faster, who knows

And these are the only distances he's raced so far in 2013, yes? If true, he's the world leader at every single distance he's raced this year. Wow.

I don't see anyone requesting a 12:40 or sub 26:35 race; therefore, I say 12:46.5 and 26:41.0

Indoors = yawn

I can't see the 26:41, as he's already gone 26:48 1 1/2 years ago, and is clearly in far better shape now. A 26:28 will require some good pacing and comp, of course. And 12:40s is clearly in the cards with 3:50i/7:30i to his name. Prior to this, you couldn't say he had that kind of speed. But he did close the USATF 5000m in 51.5 last year, a race faster paced than the Olympic final.

I actually think he could run close to 12:42 and 26:32.

I don't see a race being setup that fast and if so it most likely won't be properly paced. Hopefully I'm wrong because the world has been waiting on those type of performances for several years!

GOAT

12:37.34

26:17.52

Come on, it's really just two distances, right? The 1500 and the Mile can't both count.

That said, yes this is an amazing statistic!

I've thought about this very deeply and I am certain he will run a 12:39.72 and a 26:29.94.

He has no other option. It is his destiny.

That is all.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

IF Rupp runs the right 10k, he can dip below 26:45. Same goes for the 5k. I'm gonna guess he'll run Pre and run about 12:55. Then he'll run a late season 10k and make a run at 26:39

I really wanted to see the day when an American would lead the world late in the indoors season or outdoor season and now we have one in Galen Rupp. Rupp is the WORLD LEADER over 3 distance this year, are you serious?

2013 WORLD LEADER

Mile: 3:50.92 Galen Rupp USA*

LOL.

Combined 1500/mile rankings:

Terrier and Millrose are the ONLY two miles earth where runners made the top 50. Shows how often the race is run worldwide.

Great run, and converts to the world lead for 1500, but talking about all time lists in a fake event is pretty dumb.

12:48

26:35

45.9 in 400

10.20 in 100

Its pointless reaching his pick in February, the serious business starts in May (Diamond league). He will be burnt out by then.

Watch out for Mukhtar Edriss and Hagos Gebrehiwet..
