@@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
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
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.
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
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.
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
@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)
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!
@@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 UA-cam 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.
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.
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.
You must be looking awfully hard for a reason to dislike him. Seems like a perfectly decent fellow to me. And the only Westerner who can compete with the top East Africans.

Bro really got the 2 mile and 5000m records back to back. Could've had the mile too
Strange how he runs faster indors
If he wins a major marathon in a fast time and beats top athletes, this would be one hell of a comeback.
Check
looks like a hell of a comeback so far
this is called foreshadowing
This aged very well
Paulo P this aged well
Wow didn’t realise he had this surgery, fair play that’s a big procedure! He’s a talent, hopefully he comes back strong 👌
Still training with one of the fellow world’s and U.K.’s best too? And that surgery scar, wow, hope he comes back stronger!
And by Podiatrist Dr Saxena
That was probably the most enjoyable thing I've ever seen with Rupp. Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to Episode 2!
Keep coming back to this video. Great motivation especially if you’re injured.
He’s a really tough guy. Anybody who thinks elite running is easy is an idiot. Very high pain threshold.
who thinks elite running is easy?
Eric Noon like he said idiots do
running in general is extremely hard on the body
"Very high pain threshold." to getting stuck with needles all the time.
Nike Doping Project was just shut down .... see news headlines.
Pain threshold is directly proportional to motivation factor. 🤪🏃♂️🏃♂️
Galen is my favorite runner
There arent many videos like this about him
does he even have social media
CrackerJams no he’s a quiet guy
Galen is a great guy!
He’s breaking the AR in the marathon calling it now
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.
I hope Galen reaches all of his future goals.
Ima break the AR I need 20 years tho im 17

@@Gogo-bu6rd go get it I believe in you!
Forever... Galen Rupp...
Very-very good Video...
Thanks....
Such a sweet vid! Love how determined Galen is even after a pretty major setback.
Great job Galen. You will be back and we will be here to cheer you on.
What a find. I just had this same surgery a few months ago and I'm a runner. Very inspirational that I can get back to my best
When second episode?????!!!!
This video is so quality! Thanks so much man!
He's getting Uncle Alberto's hot sauce every day. He should be fine. :)
Isn't he supposed to be suspended from competition for 4 years?
If indeed the Olympics are held this summer....Galen will be on the podium. Guaranteed. Period.
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.
that strength coach is a genius
Excellent video. Thanks so much for the great insights!
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
We've seen Amazing things from this guy so far, but, the Best is yet to come ! Hes not thru by any means ! If I was a Kenyan, id be a tad worried !!
this is the first time ive found out about rupp, this guy is a legend, hope he gets better.
Kudos to you Gulen, you are the greatest talented white runner, don't miss your train to achieve more than you even dream! Good luck!

Quick Musical Doodles- Two Feet
You’re welcome.
Any up dates in His condition. Rupp is the best middle/ long distance American runner of all time. Wishing him the best of luck to a proper recovery.
I guess he you could say he had a rupptured Achilles
He is gonna be great coming back. He got bronze in the 2016 Olympics and that was only his 2nd marathon race.
Rupp is the best!!!
I've had exact same surgery on both feet. Keep up the hard work!
where is episode 2? i need an update
Lean Machine! Thanks for sharing.
I hope you win an Olympic medal - 2020
Was wondering why I hadn't seen/heard about him since the Olympics... AWESOME job by the way!
He won the Chicago Marathon dude!
kudos to Galen Rupp!
Love this episode! Hope more is to come!👍
Running fans want more videos like these on the elites
We waited for 2 episode
part 2!?
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
Which t-shirt is he wearing at 4:01? I like the fit
Upload ep 2!
Common upload episode 2, it's been 3 year.
Will there be another part?
Galen hasn’t aged since Oregon days. Guy still looks 20 years old.
Where us episode 2?
Episode 2??
Part 2!!!!
Way to go Galen!
awesome cinematics!!!!
Muy duro siempre firme duro El mejor 💪💯🏃
galen rupp is the best athlete i hope he will take a metal in tokyo ❤️😀
Precious blood of Jesus cover Galen Rupp.
@john vr Galen Rupp is Catholic.. may Jesus bless you and cover you with His blood as well :)
😂😂😂
I'm sorry to hear about your injury, take care, we know you could win the Tokyo Olymoic Marathon.
If it wasn't for a man name Kipchoge.
Good job great effort👍
Just like bolt himself, come back stronger than ever
be strong homie, be strong.
Now this is epic.
What's Alberto's favorite day? TUEsday
You can't have any doubt that you'll be back, or else you won't be back
Episode is always the last episode for runners lol 😂
Never did episode#2, and trials are around the corner 🥇
I can understand his feelings.
Crazy to come back and watch this with how Salazar got banned and Galen won the Trials
You'd better believe he's on that Salazar Oregon Project doping program to speed up his recovery
Alex Sington right?
@@lingsinisalo the Oregon project (and all other world class training centers, to be fair) is doping up all its athletes
I an totally agreeing with you! My apologies my sarcasm was directed at the training groups that dope.
@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)
Choosing the train home is noble but already a massive disadvantage in the marathon without those altitude red cells
If you wanted to admire Galen's junk in full swing, you've come at the right place. 4:00 You're welcome
I cant unsee that now
Damn you- you made me look for it. Junk swing
As if I didn't have enough reasons to envy him. Not bad for someone who is about 5'11" and 138 lbs.
PaT Karanbole i don’t get it
This is great
That package is going to slow him down 4:05 haha
I so desperately want to run on :28 track!
For some reason his voice is way higher pitched then I thought it would be
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!
Respect champion ❤😎
I'll be honest, this is really hard to watch. Those scars (and what happened under there) are gnarly.
Wow amazing to see such insight into his training. If humans were born to move and run... then why is it so hard on our bodies? 😡
There are many levels of 'moving and running'. I'd say Galens is a bit extreme...
We are also made to lift things. Power lifting takes a toll on the body as well. We are dealing with extremes here.
I'm about to endure the same dang surgery!
how did it go?

Must have some money for one of those pools
Isnt he using EPO ?
OZ Z no goofy
Come on champ u can do it,,
As a former runner, it's not normal to be that skinny. We can guess how far Salazar will want these athletes to be skinny. Especially Mary Cain.
Bear Martin it definitely depends on the person, that's probably healthy for him
This man will benefit heavy from a sit down with Derrick rose
If they removed my Achilles’ tendon and put it back on I’d be done with hard running, if go do cycling or swimming
He is getting old now or never
I guess he's rebuilt...
Damn
it is what
DRUGS Does Rupp Understand Grain Specialties?
Take test
How much is the infinity pool? XD
I guess you could say he had a RUPPtured achilles lol
CAN HE USE CBD OR WILL SOME GOVERNING BODY THROW A FIT?
Um….
💉
Don’t forget to pack the prednisone
