LRC Addition. Galen Rupp ran 2:06:07 to win the Prague Marathon. Pulled away from Sisay Lemma with ease over the final 2.2 miles and would vomit after the finish to make it a bit more legendary.

Throws down the gauntlet to Mo Farah as NOP record holder! Mo will now have to up his game.
Can NOP get to 2:05?

Obviously. That didn't look like a fast course.
This is true. He is officially a 2:06 guy.
Rupp really knows how to run in hot weather. It's quite astonishing...It reminds me of the olympics , which was also blazing hot.

Very nearly a 2:05 guy!!

Wouldn't be surprised if he drops a a 2:04 in courses like Berlin.
Only 183th fastest marathon time (and doped to the gills).
Meanwhile in Kenya
He should go to Berlin in the fall and run 2:04.

Certainly less doped to the gills than the runners with better times. He can clearly run a 2:03 so it's just a matter of time until your hero's are surpassed and their records thrown into the trash. He will demolish all them just like he did Sisay today.
It was the Coevett effect. I managed to cheer him on at TWO stages of the course
What a fantastic race today. Controlled the early surge by Sisay, ended up dropping the pacer, and then pulled away from Sisay easily with 5k to go to run an outstanding time on a less than ideal day on a not too fast course.

They have tried lots of times already and not found a fast course yet. I think if they get there it will be on a slow course.
Maybe someone needs to explain to them about which courses are fast.
Did you look at the course map?
Lots of turns, two minute improvement over PR is fantastic.
Nice run Galen.
it is long past time to give this man some respect. He has dominated American distance running for the past decade. Expect lots of American-born GOAT talk in the coming days. Go Galen!

+1
Still wish he ran Boston instead.
So close to 2:05! Dang! Is anyone not in agreement that he has 2:03 or 2:04 potential? Was it a course record?
2:06 in a paced race. Still 3 minuets away from the top- that means a km away
He will never go that fast again. He won’t gonto Berlin. He will do Chicago NY Boston again and again- no pacers slow times

This guy can troll with the best.
I’m still not convinced that his original plan from the jump wasnt to drop out of Boston. ..get paid a bunch of money to do a tune up long hard run a few weeks out from the TRUE scheduled race. I dunno maybe I’m wrong ..
