#21	AJ Alvarado October 10 at 1:59pm 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 reply
#20	Johnny Fuentez January 30 at 4:00pm 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! reply
#19	You Can Do It January 29 at 1:48pm everyone knows galen can run under 4mins its just a matter of doing it. reply
#18	UW January 19 at 11:51pm Here are the results from the UW indoor meet: http://gohuskies.cstv.com/sports/c-track/stats/2008-2009/09indoorpreviewresults.html reply

#16	Anonymous Coward January 19 at 11:11pm results??? reply
#15	Anonymous Coward January 17 at 8:12pm 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.... reply
#14	Harry X January 16 at 7:48pm i wish we could guess his times for flotrack gear.. 4:03 mile and 1:53 800 reply
#13	Chunk January 16 at 1:17pm 3:57; 1:50 reply
#12	Mark Cameron January 15 at 11:09pm 3:59 and 1:51 reply
#11	SDSU January 15 at 8:57pm 3:58,1:51 or 1:49, 4:03 reply
#10	Nate January 15 at 6:12pm 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. reply
#9	Dan Knewitz January 15 at 5:49pm 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. reply
#8	Believe January 15 at 2:10pm everyone knows he can break 4mins its just a matter of doing it. reply
#7	Ken January 15 at 1:59pm i bet he goes 4:02, 1:52. reply
#6	ivanvano13 January 15 at 10:55am 140, 342 He can do it! reply
#5	Steve January 15 at 10:46am i want that jacket! reply
#4	Reece January 15 at 9:42am hes so damn underated, proably one of the best distance runners the us has seen in a while reply
#3	Ben Raphelson January 15 at 5:45am 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? reply
#2	Dan Knewitz January 15 at 2:04am 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. reply
#1	David Williams January 15 at 1:07am This should be exciting to see. reply

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.
