Chad Hall's 20k Debut - Any Thoughts?

This Hall never ran 13:15 in college.

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

2:04:58

Why hasnt Ryan Hall been put in a mental institution?

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.

Faster or slower than big bro's 59:43 HM best?

Dumb reply.

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

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.

Nothing to see, move along...

Don't see a Chad Hall in the results:

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?

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.

what he do ???

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

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?
