He's got bad "asthma"; real bad!!
Why doesn't Rupp race New York?
Virtual 2:03 guy shouldn't be afraid of a few hills.

Bekele was second in London last year and 6 seconds shy of breaking the WR in Berlin a year and a half ago.
Rupp has interest in running the worlds best marathon. He just runs 2nd rate US thons. With hobby joggers.
So do linden, flanagan, meb

I am pretty confident Galen could win in London
Oh you mean he could win the mini-marathon on Saturday?
Galen should wait and recover. And yes his track times are just as good and better than London’s elite field. I think his next goal should be breaking the 1/2 marathon US record.
2020 is not that far away. I would think running a fast marathon should be his next goal. And I have no doubt he will be back at Boston again.
Rupps track times are better than Farah, Bekeles,and kipchoges? ....Really?
We don’t know how busted up Rupp is from Boston. Even if he recovers quickly, London is too soon. It seems like such a shame to waste the shape he’s in right now. How about Monza 2 in May? Get that Nike money to set it up as an assault on the AR. Get a bunch of go-getters to run, and by golly, we got ourselves a shootin’ match. Make it a big commercial for the FlyPrint, and Galen finally gets his fast time. One can dream.
I think the day will come when Rupp is back and defeats ALL MAN!

Rupp supposedly had a great build up and ran 19 miles in Boston before dropped out. I am pretty sure if he asked the meet directors in London if he could race he would get in . So why doesn't he do it ? It would be a great race to get the American record in.
Because he is a father and a husband and he enjoys being with them. Compared to pleasant days with children who count on your love, running around the world chasing marathon times doesn't even compare.
Galen should try the next disney thon. Would suit him down to a tee.
