Galen Rupp - Interview On Training And Racing (3 Days Before Chicago Marathon) 

Sweat Elite has done it. A Galen Rupp interview where he isn’t defensive. Makes me like Galan a lot more when he seems like a normal guy.

Takeaways: -Short easy running after a marathon can aid in recovery. -Hard long runs make a marathoner. -Training at or worse than race conditions is beneficial for the body come race day. -Hydro-treadmill work and other forms of cross training are good supplemental training -Aerobic fitness is aerobic fitness, no matter how it's gained. -Work on maintaining speed and power when getting older, not just endurance & long intervals -Get every benefit out of each workout and analyze + reflect on each one. -Visualize each scenario that could play out weeks before the race. -Social media has its positives but can be a major distraction when trying to stay focused on training. -1000s are hard. I'm excited to see how well Galen does! It's good to know he's in good shape. Wishing him the best of luck and go 🇺🇲!

You know you’re legit when you get the rare Rupp interview haha

I really enjoyed how passionately Galen spoke about visualization training. Maybe the most fired up I've ever heard him. thanks for the great interview!

Sweat elite is raising the bar in the run game. Bravo 👏

Just like Galen says, slow short running each day the week after a marathon really is helpful. It sounds and feels terrible but my soreness and fatigue are gone so much quicker when I run each day for a few days after the race.

What a treat! A west coast guy who sounds so east coast, no? My favorite part is the end (26:15) when asked about workouts he dreads, and then we hear this belly laugh, like it's the most wonderful topic imaginable. He loves the pain that makes me cry.

This is gold…. What a brilliant interview!

Galen, looking forward to you winning the Chicago Marathon! I think it is proving that marathoners can be elite up to 40.

That is true, I hate doing 1ks way more than 800’s. Or even mile repeats tbh

I've never been this early on a video, but of course I stop what I'm doing at work and watch

Hey I'm just like Galen Rupp! I take it easy after a marathon! 🤣🤣🤣👍 Something else that helps me recover the week after a marathon is CYCLING. If I were a swimmer, I'd even get to the pool a couple times during recovery. Last marathon, I did this each day: - Marathon - Off (a bit of stretching and rolling) - Easy bike ride, 10 miles (~35 minutes) - Easy bike ride, 15 miles (~50 minutes) - Easy run, 3 miles - Off (stretching and rolling) - Bike ride, moderate pace, high cadence (~90+ RPM) 25 miles - Easy run, 6 miles - Second week was more like a base week. - Third week, I started to get back towards a normal training block for the next race (10k or marathon) Of course, this is what I did, a 46 year old guy who barely breaks 3 hours in a marathon. 🤔😁 Galen probably ran each day, if I understand what he said. He said something about running slow like with "your Grandma". It's hard for me to run, even slowly, the week after a marathon. But it's due to age and recovery speed. 🤗 This interview has changed my opinion of him. It is nice to hear so much from him, when he is usually quiet with the media. Regardless of what I think, he's earned his place in running history! 👌👍✌️

Really love your channel. Thanks for all these useful videos. Also great to see the face behind the voice! Welcome to Chicago. I hope you have a great time here.

love listening to Galen talk.

"An Artist does their best work when they don't know what they are doing"...."Art is largely instinctive.... Instinct based on training and practices." Love what he had to say on visualization and tying it back to racing off reaction. That's what I thought of when he was elaborating on it.

Hoping he runs well on Sunday! Go Galen! 🏃

This is the best running Chanel .

Lets go! Huge interview!! Love his attitude

Sweet interview, really liked the talk on visualization

Amazing interview. Wow this guy is focused!!!

@16:25 "Still use simulated altitude" That how you know when you have gotten serious about your training. Treadmill in the pool and simulated altitude in the house (:.

The goat channel strikes again

It took me a few minutes to understand why they weren’t moving in the ‘video’ lol

Sweat elite = 🐐

So the athletic equivalent of Howard Hughes deigns to open the curtains and let room service in. Now that you have broken the ice with the Hermit of Oregon think there is any chance that the next date could you on a bike and the crunch crunch sound track of a traditional sweat elite joint?

he hates social media so much to the point where we cannot even see him in an interview video..

Loved this!!

Paul Chelimo interview please!

wtf...i just finish the podcast in spotify and here we go again....

Casey Affleck sure knows a lot about training for marathon

social media is filled with negativity, I would not go near it as an athlete either

Came in 2nd, well done

May I suggest that next time you do one of these interviews with just a picture, that you mention that you can use RU-vid Music to "watch" this video. We can just let the video play while driving or doing other activities. Great work!

Gave my thumb whiplash clicking this

@17:35 Doesn't move, doesn't blink. We can't see the lips... Is it a still picture we are looking at with sound on?? :)

I’m glad I’m not the only one that dreads K repeats

Amo tanto a galen pero porke xuxa no tiene instagram

bro, this is youtube. where we post videos. this is a picture with audio.

I’m ur exact bmi and my lungs hurt wen I walk down the street “am I not training “ right Greyson can eat my shorts if I do right every day why does someone have to put me down and I have to live in an evil environment

Any chance you have a podcast or is this just posted to RU-vid?

The man behind the camera appears!

Curious if Alberto Salazaar’s name will come up in this, or if that was a precondition for the interview…

yee

I don't like the visual, you should show up the video while podcast, but tx sweat elite
