    Ryan Hall spent his collegiate career in the wrong events. A miler in HS, he only reluctantly ran the 5k in college. When he moved to the roads post-collegiately, the results were spectacular.

    His younger brother, Chad, was a Foot Locker champ in HS.

    He went to Oregon as a frosh and ran 14:11 in 2008 but transferred out to UC riverside.

    He also seemingly focused on shorter events as 2010 he ran 3:45 for 1,500.

    His 5000 pb is still 14:11 (only ran 14:39 in 5000 this year) but this year he did run the 10k (29:54) where he was the Big West champ.

    He's been training with his brother.

    Any chance that the Foot Locker champ title starts to re-emerge?

    The fact he's training with Ryan, whose career has worsened since self-coaching (don't even argue) leaves me pessimistic.

    He's a less talented stoner version of his brother who at the present moment is a complete nutjob. I wouldn't bank on many good things happening for chad.

    They should both carpool to a small town north of Boston and knock on Bill Squire's door. Beg him to coach them for 1 year and let the chips fall where they may.

    It would be cool if Ryan ran based on god, and Chad ran based on Satan.

    re: less than a half

    I don't know what his time was but I was there and I can tell you he wasn't in the top 10 or 15, so over 62 is the most specific I can offer. After that I went to try and chase down and talk to some of the elites who had finished haha.

    re: hotbuttrue

    Why do so many people run a 1 min + positive split on this course? Is it that much tougher second half or do people just go out too fast there?

    re: splits...

    The second half is pretty tough. Most years along the water there is a stiff head wind at mile 7. Then around Mile 10/11, there is a steady climb. There is a really beneficial decline afterward though and long flat finish.

    A full minute difference is a bit much, as you can easily pace it better. But 1min isnt too bad. Anything more that 90sec would mean too fast a start.

    Chad will re-emerge once Ryan's coach begins mentoring him.

    re: rojo

    Why in the world would folks spend time thinking about Chad Hall? He was a mediocre college runner. He will never make it as a pro runner. I hope that he is taking strong steps toward beginning a real career outside of running.

    He is Ryan Hall's brother? OK, so?
