He will never go under 2:05:00 again, unless jumping out of an airplane at 26.2 miles.
I coach adult professional athletes. Not much different, is my prediction. More often than not, after the age of 25, athletes are stubbern in their lifestyles and with their outlook on the very things that most importantly need to change.
But I could be wrong. He may be completely humble and open minded, maybe? How coachable is Ryan Hall?
Hey just checking, when you wrote, "not much different" did you mean different than now, what the above poster predicts or what I wrote?
Thanks.
I meant not much different than Hall is known for. Running real good times but not prepared completely to win majors.
Zero
I think (and hope) that he sets a new legit PR (bettering his London PR).
I don't think it'll be by a substantial amount, but here's to hoping he gets well into the 2:05s regardless.
2:08:37

He has not been under 2:05:00 ever on a record legal course...
If he gets back to altitude for segments of his training and returns to track for some 10000m and possibly some 5000m races first, he can get back to the 2:06 range on a London or Chicago course.
First he has to show that he can run 1:00-1:01 for a half marathon.
Time will tell.................
you guys are such bandwagon jumpers.
Correct!
2:05:58. He will break his London time, but not his Boston one.
I already made my prediction last week.

2:04:28
Breaks his own American records in the half and full marathons:
59.12
2:04.38
Through in a PR in the 10k to boot.

Nor 2:06:00.
I think the Canova method could do big things for Ryan. Canova's training allows athletes to fully recover between big workouts. Canova also only wants his runners to complete a big specific endurance workout when they are ready. If the workout is too much of a race effort, Canova's runners will bailout and try again at a later date. Under Mahon, Hall was definitely getting pushed too hard. On his own, he is making arbitrary decisions about rest (6 day schedule) and may not be getting a proper build up for specific endurance.
I think Canova can squeeze another minute out of Hall on a non-assisted course. 2:05.15 on a flat course. 2:06 at Boston or NY.
Hall is strong and rarely injured, and favors and responds well to the kind of training that is required to run a fast marathon (high mileage, fast aerobic running). However, I suspect Canova's impact will be as much psychological as physiological. I sense Hall's dream is a WR, and I believe Canova knows this and will inspire Hall to chase this dream. Look out for a 2:04 in 2014.
I would love to see that 2:06 at NYC but it would be impossible. Only one man has ever run under 2:06 there. The course is brutal enough that if he gets a 2:08 it would be a great effort.
Now the opportunity to run marathons for this level of runner is once or twice per year. If an injury pops up, then it might be one. Not much of a chance to get it right, unlike say a 100m sprinter who can race many times....or 5k or 10k runner who can run multiple times in each season.
We do not know if Hall has nailed it yet....
