Hey man no disrespect but you have no idea what you're talking about. He ran the shamrock shuffle as a "fun run" and was cheering other athletes on the entire way. I finished within a few seconds of him and he was clearly just there since he's a nike athlete and this was a nike race. He was running in pegasus and sweatpants and was chatting the entire time.
That may be the case, but his recent top tier races demonstrate that he is either struggling to get fit or stay healthy. He has dropped out of quite a few races the past several years. You have to wonder if losing Coach Alberto Salazar due to scandal has something to do with that.
He said he didn’t know what was going on, if you listened! Said he wanted some feedback from someone that was there. This happened to be you, but you had to remind him that he didn’t know what was going on. Something he already acknowledged. Both of you are stupid!
Galen finished just behind me (25:45). He also ran the mile the day before and jogged it. Like others have said, this is more of a PR appearance for him.
Galen is a class athlete. However, as I’ve said in a previous comment on another video, his previous performances are in the past. He has nothing to be ashamed of, he has some great accomplishments.
He is contractually obligated to run in all Bank of America races in Chicago, he ran the Bank of America half marathon last year and was wearing full tights and a long sleeve in his 8k. So basically he had to run
Lets bring out the elephant in the room. He has done pretty much nothing since the Alberto Salazar saga. His performances while under Salazar will always be tainted, as will Farah's. Age is not the issue, Kipchoge is two years older than Rupp, and he is just getting better and better, so lets park the excuse of age.
His bad days are still amazing. I hope he can stick it out until his body fully heals and then we can expect more great years as his endurance peaks. I hope his sponsors stick with him. He should get a TH-cam channel and share the journey with us. Even if he is sub-elite he is still an awesome inspiring person!
The Shamrock shuffle was a fun event and he didn't want to tryhard it, especially because there was no competition. That said, I am almost certain he's done. It's just sad that his big achievements ended when his relationship with Salazar ended.
Also please bear in mind that no one is perfect. As a society, we become hyper focused on top athletes and develop unrealistic expectations. This weighs heavily on the psychological health of said athletes. We recently witnessed this in female gymnastics at the last Olympics. We mustn’t allow ourselves to constantly have such high expectations for athletes. Give Galen a freaking break! Don’t criticize him after her has accomplished so much. Nothing is forever.
I don't know who your mathematician is, but 25:50 is NOT 3:04 pace. 25:50 would be closer to 3:14/km. 3:04 pace in an 8k race would have put Galen Rupp around 24:32.
It’s not just a matter of the Salazar situation. He stopped going to altitude camps, most miles are done on indoor treadmill. Probably more energy expended during the day with his kids, age, injury, training alone. Not as much focus.
Every runner has high and lows... Its like a long run! the pace may be painful at the 20th kilometer... but you will always be glad you did it! So you can improve!
Galen Rupp, seems to me is that he lacks an alternative health specific plan for his conditions. Sometimes we think traditional medicine gives us the best options. In his case, he needs to do a drastic difference for his health concerns. We saw him at united half in the first 5 min because it has a hairpin turn. But couldnt tell beyond that fast view what was going on. We wish him the best of luck and better health alternatives. One example that he needs to incorporate is cross lateral patterning which addresses spinal alignment plus neuromuscular exercise. We wish we could have a moment to tell him this info!!
Galen Rupp is a star athlete who saw an Olympic silver among his achievements. He's 36 - you cannot stay in such a high physical form forever. Whatever happens to Galen's carrer next, he's great and America and other countries have so many reasons to be proud of him
Everyone ages different, but there may be other factors as well. It's difficult to get around the observation that Farah has been declining over the past few years as well. I will leave that for others to interpret as they please. If you have been watching the age group wr scene, you would have noticed that the Australian runner from the 1980s and 1990s, Steve Moneghetti, has broken 3 M60 wr since turning 60 in late September 2022. There is nothing to suggest that, if these great athletes continue to train, they can enjoy running and have great masters careers as well. Age and performance are relative.
Mo’s also getting older. Elite distance runners last longer than most track athletes but once you get into your middle 30s the decline is pretty much inevitable.
Stop the click-bait ... If you are going to make a video, then you could at least ask the man himself ~ How are the back injuries ~ How is the Achilles heel injury ?
As the other runners who participated in the race said he ran in a long sleeve shirt and tights and ran the mile the day before. Totally a PR obligation by Galen as it says in numerous other comments below he was talking and cheering all the other runners the entire race. doesn't sound like a planned World Class effort but a fun run!
Yes yes yes but you do realize he’s getting old?? Yup. Galen Rupp isn’t the NOP Galen. Nonetheless, he’ll go down in history was one of the best non African distance runners
40 years old is a death sentence for all athletes whether we like it or not. Our bodies will slow down and recovery takes longer and longer that is just the reality.
He probably stopped taking testosterone supplements. Just imagine - if an athlete decides to perform honestly, it won't take you long to make a video like this :D . And you are not complicit in all the doping scandals? Sure. But you are the first to publicly condemn the poor athletes (the victims).
Are you for real? This is the most pointless clickbait video. Rupp jumped into some random 8K fun run and because he did not pull his all time PB pace you are saying he is over? Haha mate you don’t know anything about running.
I disagree with sharing an opinion on these things! Ive seen much focus on muscular strength in elite running! This doesnt do much to tell a runner which position to be in. How to say such a mindset can lead to injury and collapse, short and long runs! And to make friends with a diet? Are you telling me to make war with your cells, because you want to obey a stopwatch? Does the electronics not agree with this? And to also say, per the above, you wish to create strength, but not theough a connecting motion? And not to hear my perspective on such things? And to recover with a meal then, you GET to ask and youd CHOOSE not to, and this notion fights how NATURE wishes you to find joy and struggle in the same? I cannot make everyone happy with these things, and it is also not my job, at least right now!
I was there at the Shamrock Shuffle. The announcers said that Rupp raced to support the other participants, not necessarily to compete.
Yeah...ok....💩💩💩💩💩

This guy has always been clueless. He's done well due to hyperbole and uninformed fans.

Maybe he was paid an appearance fee in the 8km race and just used it as a steady training run?

So Eric, what is your definition of a "class athlete" ? If it were to come out that he was juiced while with Salazar what would you say then?
He is contractually obligated to run in all Bank of America races in Chicago, he ran the Bank of America half marathon last year and was wearing full tights and a long sleeve in his 8k. So basically he had to run
He didn’t do Chicago mara last year he did nyc

Came here to say the same thing. No Salazar, no Juice, no results. Same as Mo.
Who’s Kipchoge chemist??
We can’t really compare anyone to Kipchoge he is simply built different
@@jeffdover6845 he doesn’t have one

Galen rupp is also recovering from a big surgery. I don't know where, but he is still in crutches.

He should get a TH-cam channel and share the journey with us. Even if he is sub-elite he is still an awesome inspiring person!
I ran it too and he was in full sweats clearly just a workout effort for him
I heard he jogged it in sweatpants 😂

Every great runner goes through tough times. Once Galen gets through it he then needs to harden up. He has many good and better years ahead.
I was watching his interview with Sweat Elite, he should just coach himself 🤞🏼
He seems to have great knowledge about performance.
Facts
Hope he makes it through this!!
Bro, Galen didn’t run this as a race. He did it for fun. He also paced the kids mile.
He will be back soon, he is a great athlete and a great family person. American marathon record is going to be his.
1:36 those numbers are just wrong. How is it both 3:04 per k but the mile pace is different??
I think Rupp can still pb in the marathon when he returns to full health and if Chicago get a class field together or he actually raced abroad
I don't know who your mathematician is, but 25:50 is NOT 3:04 pace. 25:50 would be closer to 3:14/km. 3:04 pace in an 8k race would have put Galen Rupp around 24:32.
It's a typo chill lol he has typos in lots of his videos
@@turnerburger whats the typo? its just poor math lol
@@ChiefKeith2000 it’s the same per kilometer pace as the 4:55 per mile
It’s not just a matter of the Salazar situation. He stopped going to altitude camps, most miles are done on indoor treadmill. Probably more energy expended during the day with his kids, age, injury, training alone. Not as much focus.
He was also running in the Peg Turbo Nature.
Every runner has high and lows... Its like a long run! the pace may be painful at the 20th kilometer... but you will always be glad you did it! So you can improve!
Rupp has been a great runner in the past. But face it, his best marathon was 2:06:xx. World class but not what is needed to win a major race.
I mean it’s within a minute or so of the American record… I think that’s more than enough of an accomplishment
Too bad he was the Chicago Marathon winner. Which guess what? It’s a major 🤭

If you notice, most of his slow races are 3:04 per Km. I think Salazar used to give him something with Mo Farah now it is over!!
Feel like I heard the commentators say that he was coming back from an injury during the half?
Yes he had to pull out of a NYC Marathon in November.
I seen an article saying he was using it to build back up to fitness
Stop the click-bait ... If you are going to make a video, then you could at least ask the man himself ~ How are the back injuries ~ How is the Achilles heel injury ?
1:37 why would the kilometer pace be the same but the mile pace be different? lol

Cam Levins destroys him now ... let's keep it real.
25:50 is crazy😭
Yes it is..papi....
Would want to see splits, maybe he limped it in the last mile?
He needs to get back on the juice again
I learned more from reading the comments of others than the actual video
25:50 is just sad
1:40 math magic
He has had his day. Rupp is simply doing PR for his sponsor(s).
He's 36 and time is not on his side. As far as world class, he's done. He can still cash some checks, but his best days are over. It's a wrap.
IMO he peaked at RIO in 2016... never the same after double achilles
When the Alberto Salazar well runs dry.
IS he running clean? 🤔
He was not racing at shamrock
Wasn’t he too ten in Tokyo marathon? I think he is building to Olympics.
Is not taking the same Peds as before. Hasn't got the same medical support that provides him the same medical aids
There are pictures of him running with family in the shamrock shake 8k
Yes yes yes but you do realize he’s getting old?? Yup. Galen Rupp isn’t the NOP Galen. Nonetheless, he’ll go down in history was one of the best non African distance runners
He’s dehydrated of nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals and water
Gran atleta Galen.
He’s not on that Alberto good good anymore

He probably stopped taking testosterone supplements. Just imagine - if an athlete decides to perform honestly, it won't take you long to make a video like this :D . And you are not complicit in all the doping scandals? Sure. But you are the first to publicly condemn the poor athletes (the victims).

Off the beetroot
This questions is 2-3 years late.
Where’s Salazar? 💉💉💉💉
Interesting that once they got the known PED dealer off of the Nike team Rupp is running slower hmm wonder why that could be.
He doesn’t have Alberto Salazars in his corner 💊 💉
I think he was on the ju*** too long, Nike chewed him up and spit him out
would prefer to see videos on HOW Nike has treated their athletes over the years from fat shaming, to emotional abuse etc.
Second not secont
no alberto, no juice, no results unfortunately
Ever since he haven’t has his coach, his performances have dropped…….. I’m just saying
