I'm on 'team ryan' today too
I'm on 'team ryan' today too
it's official...ryan hall is retarded!!! remember in "days of thunder" when harry told cole (tom cruise), "you race 10 laps your way, then 10 laps my way."??? harry's way was better.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO THAT TO RYAN HALL!
14:29 5k split for Hall (2:02:16 pace according to the athlete tracker)
TV coverage says Ryan dropped a 4:32 for mile 4 and Kim Smith has a 40 second lead.
He doesn't run well from the back. Look at how the NYC half or NYC Marathon worked out for him. He's feeling good up front. It's a great strategy especially with a tail wind.
Kim Smith goes through 9 miles in 48:25, chase pack including all three Americans 40 seconds back in 49:05
i admit i have bashed ryan hall in the past
infact this morning while running with my teamates i said i would be suprised if he broke 2:10
but i just have to give it up to the guy right now
he's got balls
i'm rooting for him
after all, he did show a lot of guts battling back last year after a bad first half
Sub 2 Hour. I command thee!
Didn't we see Hall do this before? It's deja vu on the thread. Same God jokes, same "what is he thinking"... Incredible he seems to have never watched (or paid attention to) the Boston films of the past 20y.

Goucher - 50:50 15k split, Smith - 50:09
GO HALL
Universal Sports doesn't work, and I don't live in New England. Live streams anyone?
Men's pack, including Ryan Hall, goes through 5 miles in 23:17--average pace of 4:39 per mile!
If this is a stupid thought my apologies in advance.
If there is a huge tailwind and you are in the front of a pack does some of the advantage of the wind get lost? IF there is a headind you clearly want to be in a pack to draft. But if you are in pack in a tailwind do you want to be in the back of the pack?
I dont see RusseLL...she still there?

POD!
I completely agree with you. It seems like he always runs better when he puts it on the line from the gun.
Either the chase packs are underestimating the tailwind or the people off the front are overestimating the tailwind. We'll find out around mile 17-18. It's quite possible that those in the chase packs are working HARDER than those off the front.
No 15k split for Russell - Did something happen?
