How many people go out and buy a bunch of that cytoplex stuff now?
And yes, he does always seem awkward in his videos, but I'm still a fan.

Oh and a day off after that workout sounds like a horrible idea. The day after something like that you should at least go jog a few miles to get the crap out of your legs.
I can't say I think a day off every week for marathon training is the best move anyway. Don't most elites work in a 10 day cycle? Why not a day off every 10 days then?

What "crap" is in your legs after a 15 mile tempo?

If he had crap on his legs he should have taken a shower.
What a stupid comment. Hall decided to be a runner and his wife married a runner, not a weightlifting gym rat. It sounds like you are insecure, young and stupid. Grow up!
lactate acid, ie recovery run

What is that? I've never heard of it before. Why would it be in your legs after a 15 mile tempo run?
Lactic acid in your legs after a marathon effort run? Hahahahahaha. The people on this board are unreal sometimes.
'Prayer changes things'. ummmm Praying wont heal amputees, praying wont stop tsunamis, prayer does f*** all!
Prayer = Narcissism
Wow, jaded much? You are using such extreme examples. How about prayer to make it through the day for an amputee? How about prayer and an ability to rebuild your life after a natural disaster? You are talking about needing a miracle to prevent things or fix things; prayer is in the details.
At the pre-race interview at the hotel, he's taking about, "Doing something different now to get down into that 2:04 - 2:05 range". Well.... come on Ryan! I don't know what kind of magic he and "God" are cooking up - more stuff out of those plastic jugs???? Give me a break!!!! Sounds like you're baiting naive fans. Giving us a little ear candy to make us feel better. It's like someone saying, "Yea, in today's game, I'm gonna hit it clean out of the park, you just wait and see!" Why do you continue to lie to yourself and us???
So here's the plan - get all by myself for most of my workouts, measuring up against nothing and nobody, spend a huge amount of my time flying back and forth to California, just to do some intervals, follow my wife around and support her, not to mention, try and run the "Steps Foundation" And........ all this is a wonderfully perfect formula for getting down into that 2:04 - 2:05 range????? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitt!!! Dude - WAKE UP! Seems like some "pride issues" are going on to me. If you're feeling so good Monday morning and only run no faster than 2:10 - 2:11, it will just show you've crawled up your own...... ...... ! Look around dude, who in the hell else is running 2:04's - 2:05's and running/training all by themselves??? Who?? Nobody, that's who!!!!
This all reminds me of the guy who sat on his roof while the flood waters dangerously rose and when the first boat came along and they said, "Dude, quick get in or you're gonna drown!" The guy just sat there and said, "Nope, Gods gonna save me! I don't need your help!" An hour later, second boat comes along, "Quick Dude get in the waters are coming, you'll die!" "Nope, Gods gonna save me! I don't need your help!" Finally, a third boat comes along and says, "This is it, quick get in last chance!" The guy still just sits there and says - "Nope, Gods gonna save me! I don't need your help!" Well... you guessed it, he drowns and next thing he knows, he's standing there before God. He's pissed off and says, I don't get it Lord! I did everything you said, prayed to you all the time and did your will and trusted you that you would save me! Why didn't you save me God, why didn't you care about me on that roof?????? God pauses..... thinks for a second and rolls his eyes and says, "Well son.... I'm not quite sure why you feel that way? I did send you three damn boats!!!!!!!!

They say you shouldn't take the day after a marathon off, you should jog lightly for at least a few miles. So why wouldn't you do the same for a 15 mile run at marathon effort? It will aid with recovery and make you less sore two days after. Tempo or not, it's a workout and there will be some recovery needed.
Cragg looks like hes up for it!! i think cragg will beat hall

This hits the nail on the head. For years he's talked about 'tempo tempo tempo' which has clearly caused him to plateau. Hit the track! It also wouldn't hurt to run with somebody else. He should go hang out in Iten for a couple of months and run with those guys. He can chuck around some bibles and build a well if it makes him feel better.[/quote]
Did a spit take on that. No disrespect to Ryan or his beliefs but that's hilarious.
Hall said that you can win the race but still lose in your heart, and that his aim is to bring joy to as many people as possible. This is far more dire than flat-out God talk and suggests that the people who said a while ago that Hall doesn't have much of a competitive fire may be right. Even the most fit, talented, and joyous guy in the world isn't going to win against a bunch of superior Africans even on his best day if he doesn't really care to beat them. Hopefully for Hall's sake that shit goes out the window on race day and he gets back to whatever it was that made him great in the first place.
I love the forums
If Rodgers ran in this modern era, he'd be lucky to crack the top 8 in any major or the Olympics. Very lucky.
He'd be just another dude in the crowd, picking up scraps from the Eldoret and Ethiopian table.

Looks like Hall shut up the doubters. The Letsrun trolls were silenced today.
