This podcast was originally posted on 27 November 2020. Good luck, Galen Rupp, at the upcoming 2022 NYC Marathon!
While he continues to train and compete, we will be covering him. It was clear to me in this interview that Galen loves to be with his wife and family, and it pains him to be away. A growing family and the challenges of training at a world-class level are challenging in themselves. What wonders is how much longer Galen Rupp will pursue his athletics dreams. His five appearances on the track and one at the marathon at the World Champs (2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, and now, 2022) illustrate a man at the pinnacle of our sport.
Galen Rupp has two Olympic medals, London 2012, silver at the 10,000m, and Rio 2016, bronze in the marathon. If Galen Rupp can get into shape and manage his training block, he could do quite well at the NYC Marathon. We wish him a good block of training and recovery.
