How will Rupp recover from an all out 10K 4 days before the olympic marathon? It doesn't seem ideal to me. If it was 7-8 days before it would be fine, and maybe even a good final training stimulus. I don't see how 4 days is enough for him to recover. Thoughts?
SaladBar will give him an androgel massage, he will use the cryosauna religiously, maybe re-inject a little of his own high altitude blood and take some actovegin and he'll be fresh and ready to go for the 'Thon.
He does have 8 days to recover. Review the schedule.
Smigel will be just fine.
Anyone know how to watch the 10000? It's not listed on NBC's sports app. WTF?!?!
Unless it's a sub 27 race, yes.
He will win both

Yeah, 10k is 9:30 p.m. the 13th, marathon is 9:30 a.m. the 21st.
I imagine that if later in the race he's not in the running for a 10k medal, he will ease off significantly to save himself for the full.

Sign up for a VPN and watch it on the BBC.
The 10k is a complete snooze-fest. Not a chance NBC shows anything a mini-highlight. Live race, forget about it.

Please stop spamming unrelated trackbot requests in random threads. You can do that in the TrackBot Versus thread.
But anyways, I agree. I think the 10K will be fast again this year -- seeing Mo struggle so much in that 3K NR probably gave Kamworor a little hope. Plus conditions should allow them to be sub-27 with the same effort that they put forth in Beijing.
Rupp will be plenty recovered. If he has as good a kick as he did in London and Mo can't answer- Rupp can get a gold, call me crazy, but I think he will do it. Say what you want about Salazar, but he will have Rupp perfectly ready for both the 10 and marathon. Psychologically, the better he does in the 10, the easier it will be for him in the marathon. He can run this with virtually no pressure/less stress as he could already have a medal from the 10 and just have "fun" in the marathon.
He's gonna be running that marathon fresh off the high of winning Olympic Gold. He'll be just fine.
It's 8 days between races.
