Rupp- Allergy Attack?

How do we expect him to run a decent marathon if he can't handle cold weather?

He did make an adjustment. He wore a mask.

Didn't work.

It is also possible that Galen's Albuterol (Salbutamol) short-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist inhaler did not work that well for his exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, which may have been triggered by the cold air.

That was unfortunate for Galen and Alberto at the Manchester race.

It turns out that even though the Salbutamol inhaler does improve lung function (as measured by forced expiratory volume in 1 second=FEV1) in both people with (EVH+) and without exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EVH-), it may not increase exercise performance because in this study of cyclists it increased heart rate, increased respiratory rate and minute ventilation, in addition to increasing perceived leg discomfort:

In conclusion:

I hope Alberto Albuterol Androgel Salbutamol Salazar and Galen Rupp have better luck next time...with cold air.

FYI #1: East Coast cold weather is not dry. Same humidity levels as Portland, Oregon

FYI #2: Manchester, Connecticut temps were 40ish. Portland, Oregon was 40ish.

FYI #3: Rupp live in ....?

Portland isn't. Cold air climate

Did you bother to read the post you commented to? Can you even read?

The weather conditions for the East Coast race were identical to Rupp's home base weather.

What a twit-tard.

Salbutamol may also decrease mean power output and economy.

I am sorry that this is just more bad news for Alberto and Galen.

Same Rupp hate per usual. Who cares about a turkey trot? Let's talk in the spring

Agreed. Lest we forget his last race was The Olympics, in which he WON A MEDAL.

Nobody is impressed or cares, autism.

Mods deleted my comments that they are pud lickers.

Proves my point that they are indeed pud lickers.

Dont all good runners have "asthma"? I would love to see how many of the ncaa all americans have an asthma prescription.

Rupp should really think about moving to a better climate location to train during the winter. He can easily afford a second home. The family can go with him. Salazar can coach via the interwebs, and fly to visit visit occasionally.

Absolutely. The silver and bronze medals he's won at the last two Olympics have proven that his training environment is lacking.

Someone explain how asthma is induced in cold weather? Does it have to do with humidity and temperature.

Yesterday in Manchester it was between 33 and 43 with humidity between 60 and 97%. Average 74%

When Rupp ran his 1:01 half in Portland last December it was between 46 and 49 degrees with humidity between 80 and 100.

So roughly 10 degrees warmer and more humid.

Based on that it would seem Galen in the winter is limited to training in just a few places in the country. It needs to be warmer and/or humid?

What about racing on indoor tracks? They are known for being super dry but aren't cold and Galen does great on them.

Can't link the full study, buts here is the abstract of "Exercise-induced asthma and the cold weather athlete" by Butcher (2006) in Current Sports Medicine ReportsABSTRACTExercise-induced asthma (EIA) is a very common condition that affects winter sport athletes at rates as high as 50%. It has become clear that the main etiologic factors in EIA are the extremely low humidity and high respiratory rates in these athletes, which lead to extreme airway drying. New developments in objective testing for this condition have been recently described and are reviewed here. EIA is easily treated with oral and inhaled medications. These medications are closely regulated by the antidoping agencies; therefore, care must be taken by the treating physician to ensure compliance with the latest restrictions.http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11932-006-0054-8

Rupp has done okay with cold weather in the past. It just age catching up to him. If he plans to do marathons--which he should, his potential is high--he needs a winter training ground, as others have suggested. His family should tag along since that is something that seems quite important to him.

It works great. He's skinny in a way that isn't humanly possible. All you need is a doctor asking the right questions to tick the boxes.

So? He took a chance.

Here is a hint for you:

It does not have anything to do with graphs of wind speed.

Graphs of wind speeds are not helpful on the topic of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.

Do you think that my links are better on this topic than your graphs of wind speed?

It turns out that my links are a lot better on this topic than your graphs of wind speed.

OK?

Slower pace, easier on the breathing.

What you didn't get: Rupp has lived his entire life in a cold air climate. If he is having cold air issue then he has a significant problem. Rupp has run in the snow in the past. Something health-wise has changed.

Portland is not a cold air climate

This is not the first time he's worn a mask either

You can see the transformation with Galen:

Stage 1:

Stage 2: LiveStrong Alberto T shirt stage

Stage 3: Final Transformation with Nike Aerodynamic Speed Suit (Nike ASSâ„¢):

Go Galen!!!
