This month Galen Rupp has proved he is the best middle distance runner in the U.S. Breaking the 5K and 2-mile indoor record just week apart from each other.

How he did it, just shows how much running even pace will get you the best results!

Here is the break down of his two mile race from letsrun.
59.6 (29.7, 30.0)
60.6 (2:00.4 – 29.9, 30.8)
60.0 (3:00.4 – 30.2, 29.8)
60.2 (4:00.5 – 29.8, 30.0) – Add 1.4 for Rupp’s mile so 4:01.9, maybe 4:02.0. T aylor Gilland stops rabbiting.
59.6 (5:00.1 – 30.2, 29.4) – Pat Casey leads 1 lap. Bethwell Bigen takes over.
61.1 (6:01.2 – 30.2, 30.9)
62.6 (7:03.8 – 31.4, 31.2) – Bethwell Bigen stops leading w 3 laps remaining.
60.9 (8:04.7 – 31.0, 29.9). The add in 2.83 for the extra 18.69 meters and you are at 8:07.6 so we were off by.1. I’d add it to the first split.

Also the picture is the breakdown from his outdoor 10K race. (Mind blowing)

This is art, also helps there are pacers set up for him.
