its the reality that ruppy poop and hasay cant hang with the big dogs
rupps ten miler was worth a 2:08-09....that isnt going to cut it. mo is going to be top 3 with a 2:04-5....rupp will run a 2:08 and be 5-8th place. this isnt good for nike, al sal, rupp and the american public.
rupp needs to start...a DNS will be very bad for his already terrible media pulling ability. i still predict he starts, goes with the main group for 15k then drops out, and they will already have his injury excuse ready to go.
kipchoge dropping a huge WR really screwed al sals hopes for 2020
2:03 will become the new 2:06
If kipchoge is healthy, no one on earth can beat him. so he screwed more than al sals hopes ff 2020 if he's still around.
So, in your opinion, does anyone who doesn't have a shot at gold in 2020 retire and pack it in? Is it guaranteed Kipchoge will be healthy in 2020?
Runners can keep training and chasing their goals etc. Most of us on this site run a lot more than is normal or perhaps even healthy chasing our own incredibly modest goals, but we don't stop because some elite is slated to show up at the race we are training for.
I'm never going to make it to the Olympics, should I stop running?
