Rupp To Run Marathon Trials?

What are the impacts of the severe weather in the PNW for this race?

Is race still on? Will Rupp still run?

How many times has GR raced on the roads? I only recall the NYC 1/2 and then only because of the trouble in NZ forced cancellation of the meet/ AR 10,000 attempt. Just perhaps the Portland race is a training run to work on pre-race routine and aid station procedures. The Marathon Trials can then serve as another such session with the addition of quality competition (as was Mo's initial London experience). GR can make a splash in LA in race mode, drop at 15mi and be ready for the Track Trials. After Rio he can go to Boston with some road race experience.

And how many recall AlSal stating in the past that marathon training is just 10k training with some long runs added?

The 10k/marathon double is totally possible. The 10k is scheduled for Saturday August 13, the marathon is scheduled for Sunday August 21.

Rupp goes for 10k gold, has 7 days of recovery and comes back with the marathon win.

The 10k will only be 2k of racing. With Rupps fitness he should be fully rested a week later. A tempo/10k sit and kick should add a little pop in Rupps stride.

What do you think, Alberto? The time is right for the full 'thon.

Glad to see my post jump started that outside magazine article. Where's my cut?

Has Alberto ever coached an athlete to this double? If so, how well did he come back in the marathon. 40 years ago this double was possible. Not today.

So did Rupp run the trials?

He was DQ'd for running as a man instead of in the elf class.
