This past Saturday Galen Rupp broke Bernard Lagat's American indoor 2 mile record by .35 running 8:09.72 with splits of 4:07-4:02. Across the country Lagat took down Rupp's American indoor 5k record by about six seconds running 13:05. We made the trek to Albuquerque where Rupp is currently doing altitude training with his Oregon Elite group including Mo Farah and Ciaran O'Lionaird through the USA Indoor Championships. Galen talks about his race, sinus infection, Geoff Hollister and going head to head with Bernard Lagat at the end of the month.
And if you're wondering, Galen is doing an easy 4 mile run on the treadmill at about 6:10 pace.

@harry I don't understand how taking public speaking* classes will help him to become a better athlete...I think he's already a world class athlete though. |

Talking without panting at 6:10 pace on a treadmill at altitude. Impressive. |

It's really fun as a distance running fan, particularly one with a bias to cheer Americans, to watch Galen Rupp perform the way he has. He's a huge talent with an apparently good sense about himâpatient, competitive, humble. |

this interview is 7 minutes. galen couldnt give you guys 10 minutes to talk while he is not on a treadmill? sad.i asked galen if i could interview him on the treadmill. tried to do something a little different, plus as runners we are most relaxed in conversation when we're running....like when we all talk to our friends on long runs. and to answer a question below, this run is in the gym at the condo complex they are staying at in ABQ |

@How Do You Know: EXACTLY. We have no idea how fast he is running during that interview or for how long. @Ryan from FloTrack: Can you speak to how fast and for how long GR was running here? And where was this, some hotel workout room? |

You guys are such complainers I thought this was a great interview. He's not breathing hard what so ever and you can hear all the questions and answers perfectly clear. Stop crying about it. |

I've got to be honest, I do not enjoy interviews while running on a treadmill. Flotrack, you kick butt, but this is more distracting than enjoyable and I really did want to hear this interview. |

One of America's greatest runners and yet so young! Still has a ton of running ahead of him. Seems like the guy is always dealing with some kind of upper respiratory problem though. Nice guy, unpretentious and humble as can be. |

Alex. imagine being able to run a 4:02 after a 4:07 indoors. Or a 1:52 last 800m in a 10k when in college. who cares about 6:10 pace. |

Barely sounds out of breath, anyway it was another amazing run by Galen Rupp things seem to be falling into place. He still has so much time to work on his speed can't wait to see what happens this summer! |

A Fat person is more out of breath talking while sitting down than Rupp is running on a treadmill. |
