Ryan Hall 400 meter time

Didn't he go out in like 57 in that road mile in Minnesota??

Then 57 it is.

Thanks actual data.

Hall is so set on his marathon pace, I would honestly say take his current marathon training pace and divide by 130 or so and you get a 400 time

the dude is a marathoner. i think he'd be hard pressed to break 57 now.

i think it was something like 61 seconds.

Is this really the best topic you could think of to post? A better question would be: how fast could the Blade Runner run 400m with normal legs.

great story and all. wrote:

i was running 52's in my sleep when i was a sophmore and couldn't crack the varsity squad. when Hall was in 4:02 shape in HS he could easily run a 48.

He ran 50.5 the year he ran 3:42.

No way his wife was out running him on 300 meter hill repeats a fe years back...

how bad can a girl be running 52?

Uh hello this man is a 2:04 marathoner! I've seen girls run 52, and not good ones either. He'd come in at 46 mid, and he'd be givin' out high fives on the straightaway too.

Van West is correct. It was actually 50 high in an open 400m his senior year of high school. League meet if I remember correctly.

This is the most pointless thread ever. A bunch of amateurs COMPLETELY GUESSING about what they think (or feel) what someone else could run. Seriously??!! Get a life.

he could run 52. thats what distance guys do

lul

Who cares?

I feel like there's going to be a divide, with one side saying around 47 seconds and the other saying 54 seconds.

Really?!?!?! Is that really how you FEEL??? Are you sure that isn't how you think or believe? Ugh!!!

I feel like this guy's upset ^^

Ryan Hall ran a 48 in high school, so do all of your extrapolations and calculations from the shape he was in then to determine what he could run now.

I'd say sub-50 at least.

Really?

So why didn't he run sub 3:30?

This is what we have ventolin for, right?

2'04'58 -> 1'03'53 = DNF

go ask him!

can't really help as that calculator says "only for track races" & besides, there is huge uncertainty as to intrinsic worth of that 2"04 because of the wind

he also hasn't run a track race in years ?

however, you gotta believe he coud go 27'00/27'10 off that boston form

the 5k is more unpredictable; likely to be slower than most 5k/10k guys around 27'00 because of the speed being wrung out of him with all that distance mileage, so maybe

13'05/13'10

some estimates

13'05 / 27'10 -> 54.1 , 1'53.0 , 7'37.8 , 59'36 , 2"03'24

13'05 / 27'00 -> 55.6 , 1'55.1 , 7'40.0 , 58'52 , 2"01'14

13'10 / 27'10 -> 56.0 , 1'55.9 , 7'43.0 , 59'13 , 2"01'56

13'10 / 27'00 -> 57.4 , 1'58.0 , 7'45.2 , 58'29 , 1"59'47

ignore the 1/2M & M as they aren't track races ( but i suppose a track woud be worth close to 1'00 quicker for 1/2M & 2'00 for M because of the "perfect" consistent conditions )

anyhows, lot of variability in possible current 400 ability

the average of those 4 is

55.8

maybe go with that as a prelim estimate

I'm a 4:20 miler and I can run a 53 at least, Hall is world class. I'm sure he could knock out a 53 if he had to right now.
