Ryan Hall Shares His Training Program & Talks Taper for the 2009 NYC Marathon

[Yuskai23]

Running takes a lot of money and time (time =money). Double whammy.

[campbpar]

Ya. Wears his sponsors when he goes to the gym...

Yaa....

[Russellt0228]

do you guys also train the upper body? or does it put to much stress on the legs?

[ksanborn42]

@Russellt0228 i train the upper body, and it puts less stress on ur legs

[metalmonkey321]

"you done yet? I'm getting hungry" hahahah

[campbpar]

4 minute miles? What's the guldern rush?!

[musiclover5327]

notice how he does all his training on trails for a road marathon. trails are better than roads because of the smaller impact forces and variability in terrain which develop all parts of the foot

[tomb333e]

@musiclover5327 he does plenty of his workouts on roads and pavement as well...

[campbpar]

@musiclover5327 Is that right? I got that! That's what I got!!

[QuentonCassidism]

Lol I love the ending...I never thought of getting your fingers ripped for a marathon for those goofy water bottles.

[youngdollar23]

long runners should get more credit then sprinters

[TomsMVP]

@youngdollar23 Track and filed athlete all-around deserve a lot more credit....

[MrPorencargo]

@youngdollar23 Both are really dificult training programs in different ways

[mic09dcsm09]

@youngdollar23 than*

[11033066099]

@youngdollar23 THANK YOU!

[idkwhattoput1233]

Ryan is an awesome guy! Plus he's a devoted Christian...<(that's awesome to me)

[LittleMegha]

i love this kid. what an inspiration. Go Ryan!

[drrsc]

recall coe would do a 20 miler at 4:30 per mi, but that was not a common session and he was not training to compete in a marathon

[crackedjacker]

what is ryans "easy" pace

[TomsMVP]

@crackedjacker 6min/mile :D:D

[CTrotter21]

18 mile tempo

...... lol

[kruset11]

why is he kicking his legs so much?

[mark95427]

@kruset11

If you're talking about 2:55-3:05, it only seems like he's kicking/pulling his legs up. When you're in the front view, it only seems that his calves are pulled all the way to his thighs. It's not. in fact, he moves his legs exactly like Haile Gebrselassie. They both have very efficient form (well they probably do considering their marathon times).

i honestly don'

[mark95427]

@kruset11

ignore the "i honestly don'" O:

[uncoordinatedvids]

Does anybody know what watch hes wearing?

[jmulhall86]

ryan is the king, does anyone know if he is running 2010 london marathon

[Runaholism]

lol. If "7 minute pace" is considered jogging then he is a true champion.

[Powellpimp13]

What a genuine guy. I hope you break all the records and get the gold

[patrinabird]

Dude, get off the machine...I'm waiting to use it...:-)

[fishbeinb]

How long does he workout each day (with lifting and cross training as well)

[jtm5]

Thanks for the insight. Good luck, keep plugging away. You'll get the big win you are looking for. (Not that the Oly trials aren't big.)

[nmac121]

Good luck Ryan! God be with you and run your heart out.

[njolly99]

Black asics?! I like but you can't get. What's all that about.

[stokes738]

Theres a video on here or on flotrack of him in Japan getting them made

[krisb33333]
