Ryan Hall is actually still fast asf

He's really not that big. Guys that size have done sub 2:20.

I would like to see Ryan race a marathon v. Eliud+50lb weight vest.

Ryan would win that. A weight vest is just dead weight whereas Ryan is now super muscular.

But Eliud is trained to a much higher level. It might be close.

Eliud would need to carry the proportional amount of weight that Ryan has gained. Eliud is 20 pounds lighter than old Ryan.

I wonder how much mileage Mr. Hall does in his retirement

Gravity is not proportional to bodyweight.

ryan has said numerous times that he runs like 1-2 miles aday slow and can't run low 5 even anymore, give it up guys, the dude hates running now and wants left alone to Crossfit.

It's embarrassing how low the bar for "muscular" (let alone "super muscular") is on Letsrun.

Actually it is. F = Gm1m2/r2, so the force of gravity exerted is linearly proportional to one's mass.

Neither is strength.

^One of the dumbest claims ever made on letsrun.

And eliud with a 50-lb. vest would be slow as heck.

Track bot optimize Eliud marathon time with a 50# vest

So I checked up on his times and he ran that continental marathon challenge with an average time of like 3:10. I think one of his marathons were like 2:52 or 2:57 post-retirement.

He's actually unbelievably slow for being Ryan Hall. I run 30-40mpw, still to this day weigh more than him, still have higher body fat percentage, and can run those kind of times no problem. My handle is "SlowWhiteGuy" for crying out loud.

Yeah he's only lost an hour!

All people of the same weight have the same strength?
