This.
Getting crushed by Yomif Kejelcha every workout would be a painful reminder of what a FLUKE Centro's 2016 "gold medal" was.
Now here is a real runner:
Discipline Performance Place Date
3000 Metres 7:28.00 Göteborg (SWE) 18 AUG 2018
5000 Metres 12:46.79 Bruxelles (BEL) 31 AUG 2018
Half Marathon 59:17 København (DEN) 16 SEP 2018
Rupp is going to get depressed after the months and years ahead of getting dropped every single workout. (That is probably why Rupp skipped flying with Yomif to Copenhagen, taking yet another DNS while his training partner almost broke 59.)
