RYAN HALL RUNS WITH AN I-POD

There's no IPOD that I see. I see white stripes on his shirt...

why does that matter? im a guy and i run with an ipod too. it passes the time quicker, sometimes it helps you to go faster. Its especially useful when you're going on an easy long run by yourself. an hour and a half to two hours without music, or a running partner is very boring. and who doesnt like music?!

If you really want the time to go quicker, why don't you just run less?

If you want to run faster, why not just man up and do it. Running is more about controlling the pace than always going faster (esp on easy runs).

PS - I hate music.

Ryan Hall trains with an IPod

Ryan Hall > You

means you have no right to mock him

he is going to run 2:06:30 at london.

sid finch can throw an ipod 120 mph.

its good for news, podcasts etc. Being maximally efficient.

If you have ever had to cross train for long periods, it is a god-send.

For all we know he listens to the Bible (or Koran, or Mamonides?). There is all sorts of media now...not just music.

since the three religious runners threads keep getting deleted, here is a post...

because the atheists here cant come up with a cognizant argument so they delete any threads with content. It is true that many elites are religious people, but the majority of half ass runners here are atheists. Go figure.

Yes and there are many more religious half ass runners... dumbass

I wonder how much Petra he has on there

If running is "very boring" to you, then you should quit.

I like music as much as the next guy and listen to music on the treadmill frequently. But when you're outdoors, enjoying the freedom you have to run, why shut the world out with some stupid headphones?

btw, for the person who asked how much Petra Hall has on that thing, the answer is TONS! Probably interspersed with some Stryper and a little DC Talk thrown in to spice it up. Maybe he even tosses in a Creed track or two?

christians still listen to Petra?

The point is music makes it more entertaining. i enjoy running, but i dont enjoy listening to birds and cars for hours. i think the people that dont use ipods think they're more serious than other runners and that makes them feel better about themselves and their mediocre pr's. meanwhile the other guys are out running just as far if not further, and running just as fast if not faster, and having fun while doing it. Do what you want, but there's no reason to down talk people that like to listen to music while they run. GOD FORBID WE ENJOY SOMETHING OTHER THAN RUNNING TOO!!!

it looks like that is his goal. good videos of his training, although i had never heard of godtube until i clicked on the link. godtube has better runing videos than flocast.

what is a "cognizant argument?"

F---ing Gebresalassie runs with music. Considering Ryan Hall and Geb do it, I say anyone who bashes running with music is a moron.

Did I see a Garmin Forerunner on his arm?
