Hall's Stride vs. Sell and Ritz

[PatrickMc1nerney]

The guy at 0:34 couldn't keep up with him... Lol

[Teddybear419]

damn dude, ryan halls a beast. he motivates me to run!

[aznxkigga]

Basketball is obviously much more fun to watch than marathons, but I have way more respect for these runners as athletes. Running is the purest form of competition and it truly tests the limits of the human body and mind.

[TehUltimateSnake]

If he can run sub 5 minute miles back to back, he's definitely not of this world.

[fredfredburgergrim]

running at london destroyed his chances at beijing

[campbpar]

Speed 14 on a treadmill. For over 2 hours.

[cicirunner]

@campbpar More like 12.5ish, but it's astounding nonetheless.

[OTCGreen]

"Thats hard"

"Thats real hard"

Hehehehehehe.

[TheCorcan1821]

more than 12 mph (sub 5 minute miles) for 26.2 miles!

[buhtailo]

what mph are these guys running and how long

[zazfilm]

@buhtailo they average 45 mph

[medliberty]

The commentary was terrible. I had to hit the mute button. 

[4241600m]

Something announcers need to stress is that they are running really fast. For instance, I liked when he said, "try to do it for 200m on your own". Thats what sucks about our sport. When someone is running a 3:50 mile, they have such fluid form that they dont look like they are running hard, and people cant see the difference between that and an 8:00 mile.

ryan hall is the shit

[Vivungisport]

Hall rules at marathon in US soil, yeah!!!!

[Runaholism]

Their strides....they're fast and efficient! I'm speechless.

[hich101]

ryan has great form

[tomhetistgut3]

"one of the things that's difficult in our sport is that it doesn't look like lebron james windmill dunking from the foul line. It looks like a guy running down the street until you try to do it for 200 meters on your own and say 'oh that's real hard'" --- I agree!! People who don't run have a hard time appreciating this sport because it just looks so easy until you actually try to do it and realize that you have to be practically superhuman to do what these guys do!

[ipwne]

tomhetistgut3, amen.

[AjaPuppy]

@tomhetistgut3 My jaw dropped when I realized they're basically running my mile pr back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to ... ... unbelievable

[TheLiberalSoup]

@tomhetistgut3

EXACTLY!

[icvcgw]

Thanx Ryan what you said to me was truly inspirational, hopefully i get to speak to you again - Isaiah

[cithurley]

4:42 mile 23...wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Runaholism]

Runners like Hall or Ritz probably go through a pair of running shoes every 2 months.

[balancedrunner]

I have to disagree. The way Hall uses his arms is insanity. It takes a lot of extra energy to pull your elbows back and together like that and it keeps your back from working right. Ritz, in contrast has world class form; all that movement of his upper body is very efficient because it puts his weight exactly over his and moves him easily from leg to leg. Watch him setting the new American 5k record in Zurich recenlty -- his form matches the form of all the other competitors.

[Limbsy]

And Hall won :)

[balancedrunner]

Then Ritz beat Hall in the Olympics... You can't figure out who had the better form by looking at who won. Form is only one factor in who wins. That's why people don't agree on what's good form, because you can't compare runners to each other to see what works best, you can only compare them to themselves running different ways, or compare them to the general pool of runners of equal caliber. Ritz looks more like the majority of runners like him; Hall looks weird. That's one clue.

[geektar03]

I saw Ryan Hall when he broke the Mt. SAC record. Then my friend Diego broke it.

[TheDarkxc]

my legs r sexy

[sizzlexc]

Ritz still has good form, i dont know what anyones talkin about haha

[kencurran]

I've maintained a similar form my entire running career but could never imagine running my marathons at that pace. BQ at 18 and I may have form like him but his PR is 45 minutes better than mine, and I can't fathom the training required to maintain that speed with the form. it must be awesome being able to do it so effortlessly so fast.

[lucasboden]

I wish the camera was showing the full body more than just his upperbody. 

These are runners for god sakes...show their legs and turnover!

[wajimya]

man I agree with you. it would be nice to see theyre whole body.

[bluehighlighterfreak]

maybe im a 100 footer

[AndEMotorHead]

The things he's wearing are just to keep him warm. they don't help speed.

[Darklady7]

His running form is so beautiful. His stride speed is insane.

[marneedear]

beautiful

[92iceman92]

he is amazing, his stride is so smooth =)

[N1njai]

Such flawless form, even during a marathon...jeez I lose form after the 3rd lap in the mile.....

[Abraham1123]

Ryan has just insane ass form

[jtornel2]

Is there anybody who has this Trials transmission complete? And kind enough to put it up in pieces?

Or email it, or even burn me a CD and I'll pay for it please!??!?!
