Yuya Yoshida, 24, is a growing talent. A year and a half ago, he was planning to get a regular job at a company, but he decided to continue his track and field career after running his first marathon in 2:08.30. In his second marathon (Fukuoka marathon 2020), he won the race in 2:07.05. He is now aiming for the Paris Olympics, while accompanying Suguru Osako in his preparations for the Tokyo Olympics.
Not sure why galen is getting criticism on this one. He's training marathon. It's like having a 1500 runner try the 400 and then bashing them for not winning.
@@aldisusanto2100 that doesn't make much of a difference. Rupp might have bad finishing speed in the 10k but that won't matter if his endurance holds up better in the marathon
I find it funny that people think Rupp has lost a step. This race was held on May 28 and his Olympic marathon race is on August 8. I'm sure Galen was still doing quite a bit of mileage and hasn't tapered yet. When tapering from high training mileage, your speed comes back somewhat if you haven't overtrained. Galen's bio mechanics still look, he just doesn't have his top track speed.
Galen looked a little sluggish on the last lap and not sharp. It's quite normal since I bet he's currently in a heavy training cycle logging in a ton of miles for marathon. He'll be ready come August
I'm a year older than him and I felt his pain watching that final lap. My kick that I used to have back in high school and college is long gone. I can run races faster than I used to because of better endurance and "old man strength" throughout the whole race, but my final kick is nonexistent now.
@@JoeMac1983 Without knowing more about you, should we generalize your experiences with an all-time great American and multiple Olympic medalists? If we are going to compare his performance with someone to make generalizations, who should it be?
Likely,Galen is using this race merely as a stepping stone to the Olympics. Anyone's criticism belies their inherent LACK of knowledge about how the top flight athletes tier their races & training-pointing to IMPORTANT races. Revisit the great double double gold medalist Lasse Viren.He rarely won anything in between Olympics----but, @ the Oly final he was virtually UNTOUCHABLE!.
Viren was rare in that regard and it is widely accepted that he was blood doping for the Olympics. Moreover, Rupp has never followed that pattern in his career. Quite the opposite, he often seems able to PR year-round. Why are you supposing he is suddenly a reincarnation of Viren? Also, of course Rupp is using this race as a build-up. But he needs to be able to hold a 28 minute pace for 20K to compete with the world's best. Who is lacking in knowledge and analysis?
Rupp looked horrible in this race. His posture and facial expressions both convey defeat. He could not compete at the end against runners that are a minute slower than him in the 10K. This cannot be dismissed as the result of "marathon training." Many super-elite marathoners put up world-class 10K times while training for a marathon. His pace was only a tad faster than Kipchoge's marathon WR pace. Was it just a bad race or more serious (e.g., the reality of Rupp's post-Salazar performance)? Something will have to change drastically for him to be competitive in Tokyo.
was wondering that same thing -- is this what the drug-free galen looks like? he made no effort to contest the last couple laps. when oh when will the usa have a running hero comparable to, say, joanie benoit?
@@Blittsplitt5 I'm not sure what you are responding to, but no one said they know more than Rupp does about his training, physical condition, how he felt in the race, etc. That said, I suspect that he agrees with my analysis. By the way, I am not against Rupp and hope he can bring things together in Tokyo for a worthy last hurrah (as far as the Olympics go).

Great race! Galen has officially turned himself into a marathoner.
osako is an absolute monster
Also,he is a marathon runner
Rupp's final gear has left the party. 😭
Parties over
It's weird having people who give intelligent commentary on races. Good Job!

Congrats Suguru! That last sprint was excellent

you know its gonna be fast when the video is only 29 minutes long
How did we only hear about J. Thomson in the final lap? He was part of the lead pack the whole ride…

Très belle course, rien n'était joué d'avance, belle surprise des vainqueurs à la fin. Suspens total, bravo
nice game suguru
Let's go!
galens goal was literally 28 min and he got it
Yo, what happened to the video of the women's 10k??
athlete in red shorts reminds me of Salazar, looks and running style.
NCAA 10k was more exciting but this was cool too
You finally post this 🤦🏽♂️

He’s training for the marathon

We don’t know what’s going on. He might not even be tapered dude. GTFO
Now that Salazar is gone , I guess Rupp has no thyroid issues! And it shows

I wonder if Galen's detractors could beat him in the 10k?
What would it mean if they couldn't? Are you suggesting we cannot analyze his race unless we can beat him?
@@utujhgf
You can analyze it sure, but don't act like y'all know better or more than him.

Today was not Galen rupp’s day
now it proves
yoshida got the running form of an 11 year old miler, tf is goin on with his head
was looking for this comment. He was shaking his shoulders from side to side pretty violently.
大迫だ(ﾟﾛﾟ)
Mo Farah and now Galen on shockingly poor form in this Olympic year.
rupp is focused on the marathon and said this was a workout and for fun and for his kids to watch his only track race
Mo is out of it, but Galen is ready for his event the marathon
Dang, no triple for Farah then?
That's a shame.
Galen running low on epo.
Galen Rupp will win the Gold Running the Marathon... USA USA USA...
osako is an absolute monster
