      • Rupp Runs 28:18.29 in Portland, Will He Get His 9th Straight USATF Title? Flanagan Runs 31:38 6/11/2017 2:10AM

      • Galen Rupp and Shalane Flanagan both made their 2017 track debuts tonight with wins at the Portland Track Festival. Can't believe there's not a thread on either one.

        Rupp got the win in 28:18.29 and Flanagan in 31:38.

        Presumably up next for both is USATF 10,000m where Rupp will be going for his 9th straight USATF 10,000m Title

      • Great run from Ryan Dohner. Happy to see a good result from him on the track here, and Craig Lutz seems to be having a good season as well. Always been a fan of those two.

      • Both Rupp and Flanagan wore flats - they appeared to be the sub 2 or 4% ones - and not spikes.

        Flanagan was especially impressive splitting 15:59 at 5K before running solo 75 second laps for almost the entire second half of the race.

      • Watch his interview on Flotrack...

        1) this is not his last race before USA's. He'll run a 5k at Stunptown next week.

        2) He has been working out for less than a month because of Boston.

        3) This was a tempo effort for him to get used to the track, he said. And he did a couple 400s afterwards.
    • Oh boy Alberto!

        Did you see the extra interviews on Flowtrack Pro Interviews: Behind the Scenes ($49.99 per month)???

        Here is an excerpt from the Flowtrack Pro interview:

        From: Salazar, Alberto

        Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 5:09 PM

        To: 'Becky Renck'

        Subject: RE: Kara Goucher

        HI Becky, I hope this email finds you doing well! I am contacting you

        regarding Kara Goucher. She gave birth about ten weeks ago and

        recently she had a blood test done and we found that her ferritin and HGB

        levels were much lower than her normal levels.

        Ferritin : 17 versus 200

        HGB : 13 versus 15.5

        She usually takes several iron pills per day but got off of them during her

        pregnancy. She has increased her iron pills to the normal amount starting

        a few days ago. She races in three and half weeks and is really struggling

        right now because of these low levels. There is no way that she can build

        up her ferritin levels and get a sizeable improvement in HGB levels in this

        time period. I know that Intravenous transfusions are not allowed, but

        wondered if Intravenous iron injections of Ferumoxytol were okay to

        do? From reading on the internet it says that the normal treatment is

        about 18 mls of a 30 mg/ml injection done twice over an eight day period,

        intravenously. I called Dr.Bob Adams with USATF today and he wasn't

        sure so he recommended I call you. Thanks for any advice you can give

        us on this. Happy Holidays! Alberto Salazar

        Ritzenhein was then asked – “[W]hat are the factors that caused you to reach that conclusion that he [Salazar] was pushing you to use a medication to enhance performance, rather than to help your health?â€174 Ritzenhein responded:

        "Because I just felt like I was telling them [Salazar and Dr. Brown] that I didn’t feel good on this amount [of thyroid medication], and that it was, that concern was disregarded, and told to just continue on it, and so, that was contrary to what I was telling him how I felt."

        "And he [Salazar] was PARANOID, I believe, from the year before the rise [in TSH] that I had had right around the time of the New York City Marathon, and I think that he told me at one point, it’s better to be, it’s better to be a little low [in terms of TSH level], because it’s easy to back off [on thyroid medication], but if you are high, if your TSH is, like once you start feeling bad, it takes awhile to start feeling good again, so it’s easier to back off than it is to take more [thyroid medication]."


        Wait a minute.

        Did Ritz say that Coach Alberto was paranoid about hormone levels?

        This is not a big surprise with Alberto.

        In a Dec. 20, 2011, email to Rupp, Alberto wrote: "TAKE A FULL EXTRA LEVOXYL (Prescription thyroid hormone drug T4) TONIGHT AND START ON CYTOMEL (Prescription thyroid hormone drug T3) RIGHT AWAY. P.S. I'VE GOT CYTOMEL. IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, CALL ME AND I'LL DRIVE IT OVER."


        (By the way, Coach Alberto is not a doctor. Coach Alberto does not have a license to practice medicine. It would be illegal for Coach Alberto to "play doctor" with Galen Rupp by giving directions to Galen Rupp to increase his dose of Levoxyl and to start on another prescription thyroid hormone drug at the same time…which could easily cause side effects/adverse reactions for Galen.)

        It could also cause some adverse reactions for Coach Alberto.

      • Quite solid for Flanagan to come back with that big of a negative split, 15:38 for the second half. It would be great to see both her and Huddle in low 30 shape at World's, to give us a chance for a medal if some of the Kenyans and Ethiopians falter or are out on drug charges.

        All the US women hope that Joyciline Jepkosgei stays on the roads and does not start racing on the track.

        All the US women are about 3 minutes behind Joyciline at the half-marathon distance. They will need to run as a relay team.

        Do you remember the splits during Joyciline's 1:04:52 Half-Marathon WR?

        10K WR: 30:04 (old mark: 30:21 by Paula Radcliffe at 2003 World’s Best 10K. Joyciline destroyed Paula's 10K WR during a half-marathon race! ha ha ha)

        15K WR: 45:37 (old mark: 46:14 by Florence Kiplagat at 2015 Barcelona Half Marathon)

        20K WR: 61:25 (old mark: 61:40 by Peres Jepchirchir at 2017 RAK Half Marathon)

        Half-Marathon WR: 64:52 (old mark: 65:06 by Jepchirchir at 2017 RAK Half Marathon)
