Ryan Hall's Training

Interesting recent interview on recovery with Hall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icKwnvYGSQI

in his book he states he does his harder runs w/ a group and his easy runs sometimes with his wife

Thanks for the video link.

A couple of things:

First, Ryan is actively finding out about optimal training. Everying I heard so far about his nutritian and recoveries is spot on.

Also, I admire his maturity and how at ease he is with people, which I think come from his faith.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest he varies it quite a bit as he sees fit. He's done plenty of workouts alone. He's done group workouts, especially in Mammoth. He'll do easy runs, hills, or short intervals (heh) with his wife. He did many runs in the last couple of weeks with his brother. He actually makes it sound a lot like he plans to train regularly with his brother starting in the next year or so.

If Hall starts to have greater success, will we see others dropping their coaches and forming groups or clubs of athletes doing self training/coaching?

Nice video link. Although Hall gave some specifics I found it hilarious how vague the consultant was concerning details which undermined the credibility of the message.

I'm also struck by just how giant the shoes are that he's training in. This is one guy who's completely (and happily) ignoring the minimalist thing.

What exactly do you mean by "giant"...hall actually trains in "normal-lightweight cushioned shoes as I recall..."...giant to me sounds like a high cushioned shoe or a motion control shoe...certainly not what hall runs in.

I'm referring to the shoes in the video. Not sure what they are.
