Not sure if this was reported before, he is putting in a lot of miles on Kenny's 440y track (highest altitude in the world). He WILL be ready, mark my words.

Hall will DNS or DNF
He isn't running with Kenny. His pics show him running with the girls.
"Rubberized"?
440y, not 400m?
Is Hall going to do a tune up race before Boston?

Word on the street is that he will do some time trials with Kenny since they are currently at roughly the same level of fitness (yes, Kenny is in great shape, too!).
Word on the street is that Hall will leave his best race in Africa.

Hall hasn't pulled out? Would love to see him run the race. If he does run, and conditions are favorable, I see him running about 2:09 - 2:10.
Hardly an impressive showing for a 2:04 marathoner.

30 mile forest run at sub 2 hour marathon pace?

Except of course that Hall is a legitimate 2:06:17 marathoner who ran this time six! years ago on a faster course than Boston. A 2:09:00 would be a great, (near spectacular), result for this particular athlete at this particular time on this particular course.
Hall is already a 2:04 marathoner, so by my calculation he should be running 2:02 if he has really improved his fitness.
It amazes me that more people aren't talking about Vail and his improvement. Why not more love for the guys out their running 150 miles a week and getting ready for big break out races.
Leave Hall and has 2:04 alone. We all know he won't run that next month.
This site is really not about running. Generally, most posts are by people pretending to know a lot about it, but really don't. I encourage you to stay away.

No you don't, you are assuming it. If you were 100% positive, aka you knew, you'd post your real name, address, and offer all of your worldly belongings to anyone and everyone...that's when you know, but you obviously don't.
Sure it's not likely, but you do not know. Remember the poor half that he ran before that Boston race? His 2:04:58 may not happen again, but it's hardly impossible as he's already proven it once before...and he's not a dinosaur by any means.
Choice your words more wisely. Put up or shut up.

This is quite possibly the stupidest defense that I have ever read. You're saying he'd be able to make stupid comments if he suddenly put all of his personal info up? How the fvck does that even make sense?
Please don't have kids.
I really have no idea what he will run but I wish him well.
Is his career near the end? Maybe. But, I'll be cheering for him just the same and hoping he does well.
I enjoyed watching him run that 2:06 in London, the sub 60 half, the 2007 Olympic Trials, and although wind aided that sub 2:05 Boston.
In the 90's I had no hope that anyone from the US would be running a 59/2:06 in my lifetime.
Ritz, Meb, Webb, and Hall these past few years have paved the way for the new Americans coming up.
Let's get behind the guy.

I post a lot praising both Vail and Hall, but Vail's last race wasn't a good one. I wouldn't call it improvement. I hope he has a good race at London though.
