Everything he has said since leaving the Mammoth group indicates he just doesn't want to put in the work. The worst thing you can do when you get in the injury rut is to just run mileage at a moderate pace and that's what it sounds like he is doing based on yesterday's Runner's World interview. Taking a day off every week, not wanting to run anything faster than marathon pace, not wanting to do the extra strength work that others are doing makes it seem like he just doesn't want to do the work that he once was doing. He may still run well at some point but he is going to have to rededicate himself to his craft if that is going to happen.
Part of the problem is viewing training as "work". If it has ceased to be a passion and has become work, well, Hall probably is done.
