No excuses given. You're awesome Galen! You're a class act! Athletes should watch and learn from one of America's Greatest Distance Runner...Humility, Courage and Thoughtfulness.
Marathons are always emotional especially when they don't go to plan. Galen Rupp left his Family for 2 months to prepare for Chicago. He still ran under 2.15. He's an inspirational runner. There are thousands of us out there running because of Galen Rupp. Huge respect for everything he's done.
I respect him for finishing and not having so much ego that he couldn't humble himself to admit he wouldn't get a spot in the top 3. It sends a message to those watching, especially elites, that you need to finish what you start, especially if there is youth using your example to stay encouraged and fight through the mental and physical battle of the marathon and what it demands of you.
The man has achieved incredible stuff over the years. Credit to him that he's still competing. Huge respect for him. Wish him well for the future and believe. 👏👏👏
He's 37. Leonard Korir is the same age and he came in 3rd... Kipchoge and Bekele both ran their PB times in the marathon at this age. I still think he has some good runs left. Everyone is different, tho.
Galen Rupp and Mo Farrah were my IDOLS when I was doing Cross Country and Track and Field in High School. Hate to see them get old with one already retired and soon Galen probably will too. Two legends for sure.
His best moments as a professional have already passed, many of which were Gloria's, but he is still young enough to continue running and enjoy this beautiful sport. We must also give space to the new generations whose evolution is getting better every time.
Amen! very few can still kick ass at that age...Carlos Lopes from Portugal, Olympic Champ at L.A. 84 at 37, Meb K. and Andres Espinoza from Mexico...at 40 Master WR at Berlin 2003 wih 2:08.46. Without Alberto Salazar, he is done and you know what I mean....I rest my case. Cheers! Great trials today at Orlando. That 2:22 on her debut....wow!! To me women ran better today....
It takes a good man to face the press like that when he’s hit rock bottom and realises his time is up. I think marathon is so hard because you only get a couple of shots per year with such a massive commitment and massive build up, only to have a bad day on race day. It’s happened to him so many times. Not sure whether he really is done or just has a mental block / burnout? He could, like Bekele, still have a lot left 🤷🏼♂️ Maybe he needs a break to get hungry again. He doesn’t look like he wants it anymore but is going through the motions. Feel sorry for him regardless.
I don’t think Galen is completely done. What I do Believe is that he is no longer able to beat everyone without being 100% and training at his best. In 2020/2021, he wasn’t at his best but it was good enough. Now it’s now. Knowing Smith personally, I wouldn’t put him in charge of someone of this caliber’s training. Truth is he’s not a pure marathoner he is a marathoner off of track fitness. He should take a year to get himself back to being an elite 3k/5k runner then crack a good 10k then go back to the roads.

lets juss wattch n see if..any..amer...born americans bee this mans record...!!!!hillarrious...no-1 has come close as an american..true-1 commen close 2 ryan halls record!!!!..howww many years ago was this????..i dunno???
That's not an excuse. That's simply stating a fact. It wasn't his day. Almost all top runners have certain racedays where they just weren't "on" and don't achieve what they wanted.
If you label that as an excuse, then every runner in history has an excuse. Do you think “today’s just not my day” is an excuse. What about “He was just faster”? What doesn’t count as an excuse in your book? Haters gonna hate
Respect that he finished. Sad to see him fall short though 🫡
Props to him for doing interviews. Great career.
he looks like he needs a hug
He really does, I was thinking the same thing.
Father Time is undefeated :(
No excuses given.
You're awesome Galen!
You're a class act!

Respect. He ain’t done.
Is the love for running still there?
I think he is pure class, it showed when he was on top and it shows now that he is not physically who he once was.
Class-act interview. He had himself well, despite looking visibly crestfallen. "But that's how it goes sometimes"....

started running mostly because of galen

No one beats the clock. I just can't believe he's still this competitive at his age.

It was hot in the sun today actually, tight turns. The Marathon will bite you… even the fittest. He finished despite it, lived to fight another day.

I still respect this dude. Great guy. Yes, I met the guy.
Congratulations champion Runner
“FATHER TIME “ catches up to EVERY athlete.

@@lorenzoquirante8685 when has that ever happened?

There's a beginning and an end. It's hard to accept for every man and women.
even the greatest american runner can´t surpass aging
He is only 37
I still believe in you rupp
World champion 2025

Galen.Rupp is the best running
Someone give him a hug

The audio is so bad you can’t even watch this video. The background noise is so much louder than the interview. Can it be fixed in post-production?
No, get lost.
You know you know you know you know.
Please invest in a decent microphone
Please buy a microphone to plug into your phone. Seriously.
Is Mike Smith still coaching him?
Yes.
quality of sound horrible
Galen has a weak stomach. His vomiting sounded like a waterfall
LeBron James - 13,892 missed shots
Where’s Salazar?
Where’s Father Time?
No Alberto no PD'S anymore 🤷
Hi Raul! What does it mean PD?
He’s done. The PEDs age you fast. He looks old and sick.
He looks like he just finished a marathon.
lets juss wattch n see if..any..amer...born americans bee this mans record...!!!!hillarrious...no-1 has come close as an american..true-1 commen close 2 ryan halls record!!!!..howww many years ago was this????..i dunno???
I missed the race. At what mile markers did Alberto Salazar run out on the course and give Rupp his steroid injections?
In his sleep
Was this really necessary?
he says “that’s the way it goes sometimes” every single interview
shows he always has an excuse
That's not an excuse. That's simply stating a fact. It wasn't his day. Almost all top runners have certain racedays where they just weren't "on" and don't achieve what they wanted.
Agreed.@@johnwilson5743

if you call that an excuse, then everyone who has ever lost before(literally everyone) has had an excuse
@@magnusrylander your right but to me it seems like he says that even when he runs pretty well
