@@djadams3356 he’s never ran in an actual 400 meter race. Around 2012-2014 he definitely could’ve ran ~48 ish all out. He’s ran 50s for the last lap of a race. Alberto has said he could run low 11’s for 100m back in 2012 which is why he was closing on Mo down the homestretch of the London 10k
@@C-R-A-C-K-E-R I think that the indoor season of that year was probably the best condition that he was ever in because most of his prs and indoor records was in that few month span
I was waiting for him to say he's running without pain now, but I didn't hear that. Hope that's not a bad sign. Haglund's is a miserable condition. Lauren Fleshman had a similar procedure and never cam back. Kind of amazing that he had Haglund's as far back as high school and made it this long without a serious setback. That's a credit to Alberto's coaching (minimizing training on hard surfaces, etc.).
@@DMGC529 Of course it does. It's exceedingly rare for a distance runner to go through his/her whole career without a serious injury, as Rupp has done until now, let alone one who was diagnosed with a potentially crippling condition (Haglund's deformity) at least 14 years ago. Alberto has been his only coach, so Alberto deserves a good deal of credit for that. But of course anyone who doesn't like Alberto, for whatever reason, would never admit that.
@@DMGC529 "A coach can minimise risk of stress fractures and overuse injuries by being careful with load . . . " Bingo. It's well known that Alberto was very deliberate about increasing Rupp's load gradually. And I know from my own long and painful experience with Haglund's that a sure-fire way to cause the bursas at the heel to flare up, which is a main source of the pain associated with Haglund's, is to increase your mileage or intensity too suddenly. Ergo, Alberto's conservative approach no doubt delayed Rupp's need for surgery. BTW, although Haglund's is called a deformity, it's not a congenital one. It's acquired, most likely as the result of chronic tugging on the calcaneus by a tight gastrocs/soleus/achilles.
He's 32 and needs to shave off a little over a minute to get the AR. Considering that this is a pretty major injury and he's nearing his prime (in distance events), I'd say it's pretty unlikely that he'll get the record, but not impossible.
Darius Silaghi huh ? how do u know a thing abt me i didn’t put any negative effort into that comment I love Galen he’s my hero . It was just a thought I had to help myself believe I can do anything 😂😂 but fuck u man telling me I won’t even get close what could I ever learn from ur hateful ass comment that I don’t already know
@Russell Coleman I have no proof, but honestly pull your head out of the sand. Nobody is competing at an Olympic final level without drugs. And the Oregon project is notoriously dirty
Russell Coleman There is actually an interim usada investigation document (google) containing actual doctors notes, signatures, injection amounts that directly violate the anti-doping rules and it is currently under investigation (But whether they do anything about it is another thing)
I wish you a speedy recovery, to my judgment is the best long - distance runner in the history of usa. I hope to see him fighting for a medal in the 2020 Summer Olympics
Men with higher voices , have higher testosterone, its the opposite of what people think I.e manly deep voice, actually its the men with higher pitched voices to watch out for!
Galen you will be fine. God have bless you with many healthy years. This is a blessing because your body will recover, but the mental aspect is the most important part.
Most of us road warriors that have good times but not world class the dang doctor doesnt even want to do the surgery my brother had a foot injury and his physician told him to quit and just bike. I have been real lucky 40 years of running no major injuries. Just strains and minor tears ...Mostly hamstring micro tears that I was able to work through with stretching and home rehab.
Have a problem with high mileage as physician will even tell you over 100 miles a week breaks down cartilage and tissue. I would rather run 70 a week and be healthy.
@@sumnerjones8588 It was an experience to say the least. I will be at 10 months 13July20. I'm not 100% but its getting there. I have been doing Yoga, Riding my bike on a trainer, HITT workouts, swimming and some easy running, (No more than 3 miles at a slow pace). I actually am being released by my Dr on Monday/06July20. I know its getting better, I look forward to running again. Important lessons to take from this: Don't rush back to quickly and go to Physical Therapy. I like my Dr but he wasn't a big fan of Physical Therapy. Physical activity is not Physical Therapy. I had to learn Physical Therapy from watching RU-vid videos. Thanks for asking. Oh! one more thing Crocs the shoes are ugly, but man are they comfortable. Great to wear after workouts or just being lazy around the house.
What an amazing guy. Met him last summer, walked in on his workout at Nike hq. Both him and Alberto were absurdly nice and conversational, both phenomenal role models for runners everywhere. #stopgalen
strdr_mgtow _ always been a coddled kid thx to Alberto since HS. Ever heard of Rupp certified courses? Always the best. Not to mention the whole drug enhancing facts that came out surrounding NOP. Also he’s so girly, weird, and religious. If Solinsky hadn’t gotten injured he would’ve torn Rupp a new one.
@@dagda16i dont have big insight in this sport but dont you think all elite runners dope to push it to the absolute limit? they are still the most talented and hard working ones
strdr_mgtow _ hell no. There are tons of clean professional runners. Especially in today’s day and age. That being said there are probably 1/3 or 1/4 of pro runners who are on something.
