Galen Rupp will be opening up his indoor season this weekend at Washington, but he won't be doing his typical events. In an effort to work on some speed, we'll see him in the 800 and mile. Flotrack's Kevin Danaher caught up with Galen at the Oregon XC Banquet.

WOW It really must mean something special when u are almost as fast
if not faster, then the legend Himself Prefontaine, and to beat pre
on his own turf. Well Practically at his own turf. that amazing u go Rupp

4:04 mile, 1:54 800. Not saying he can't run faster, but this early in the season...these are my predictions for this particular race.

Good luck Galen!

Just got back from UW meet

Galen ran 1:51:33 for the 800
Galen ran 4:10 and change for the mile
Mile was really weird though, there were probably four guys at least (including Galen) who could have gone under 4 but for some reason no one wanted to lead and they were all watching Galen. About 150 in, Galen just slows down for some weird reason (even the announcer said "unusually slow pace) and then Steve Sherer (spell?) decided to take over after 500, held a strong 20-30m lead until the straight away, thats when Galen moved like a freight train and taped steve at the line, exciting finish but i definitely was disappointed about overall slow pace. Galen's last 800 was reported as 1:55....

which one is first? the 800 or the mile?

if the mile is first, then i say he runs 4:00, 1:54
if the 800 is first, then i say he run 1:52, 4:04
either way, both are pretty good doubles for season openers. i have no idea what kind of shape he is as far as being prepared for middle distances, but he did do that impressive 30/40 workout in the middle of xc season, which makes me thinks his anaerobic threshold is significantly higher than last year. if the mile is first, at best he runs no faster than 3:59. if the 800 is first, at best he runs no faster than 1:50.

Dan Knewitz 3 years ago

That's just it. I don't see him breaking 4 on this particular run. I predicted 1:55 for the 800 under the assumption that he is running it second and will probably be focusing much more on the mile. As far as capability goes, I think he could potentially go 1:50 to 1:51 for the 800 and 3:56 for the mile.

everyone knows he can break 4mins its just a matter of doing it.

hes so damn underated, proably one of the best distance runners the us has seen in a while

Ben Raphelson 3 years ago

I guess I'm a little surprised he's running for Oregon this semester, honestly. Does anyone know how close he is to finishing his undergrad? and what about his plans for outdoors?

Dan Knewitz 3 years ago

Alright, let's see some predictions for the mile and 800. Given that he appears more focused on the mile, I'll say 4:04 and 1:55. I'm not saying that's as fast as he can go, but it's January indoors.

David Williams 3 years ago

This should be exciting to see.
