I think that Ryan finished about 3 minutes ahead of his wife.
Hall, Ritz, Webb, Solinsky, and Teg are all washed up. Ritz is the one most likely to have a comeback.
Time for Ryan to find another new coach.
What should we expect her to run for 10miles?
Only a handful of US women with

And we couldn't figure out what was wrong? Looks like the same thing is happening with Hall.
The only difference is that Hall has always been terrible at distances less than a half marathon. I hope that is the case here.
Not true - he ran 13:15 in college and at his best (2006-2007) he was a lot faster 12k XC and below.
And Ritzenhein recently only ran 49 something for a 10 mile road race.
These guys are now over 30 years old. They aren't going to ever get any better still have enough in the tank to make another Olympic team in the marathon.
I don't like the philosophy that you just train and never race unless you are in top form.
Simple Hall felt guilty and stopped taking Thyroid Hormone and whatever else he was taking. God told him to stop or he would go to hell. Now we see the real hall.
Remind me--is Ryan coming back from an injury or illness?

Nice. 50:25 equals a 2:20 Marathon according to McMillan.
Which is not far off what he ran in Boston.
Didnt he used to be trained by Renato?

Baaaaaaaaaaam.
Why do Webb and Hall have such a tough time with coaches?
I wonder if this just what happens to most runners after the age of 25 when they aren't on drugs. You just don't have it anymore and you change coaches in a desperate attempt to try and find it again. When I was a kid, you were done in tennis after your mid-20s and almost nobody hit home runs after their mid-30s.
I'm not the biggest Hall fan but I happened to remember his self sacrificing strategy in Boston to help Meb win, so I went and re read the LR piece about it. Hall may have hit a rough patch of late and he may bother folks with his bible thumping but he's got my respect. Good luck man.
Both runners are major head cases.

Not true. He has run under 1320 for 5k. He ran very well off that speed for several years but never got back in touch with it. During his solo sub 60 half marathon, he would have split 10 miles under 46. He unwillingness to do the fast stuff has resulted in poor performance
s. He is done.

You don't really know what you are talking about. Didn't he win the 5k at NCAA's at Stanford in something around 13:20?

for pete's sake, I'm talking the last 8-10 years, since he became a world class marathoner...not since he was a high school or collegiate runner. it hardly matters what he did 12 years ago, does it?
