Ryan Hall ran 14:50 on this course.

Old record was 14:38 by Marc Davis.

not bad

blazing :)

Well, he has alot of competing left to do from now till the summer. No sense in killing yourself if you're a minute ahead of everyone else and you don't think you're on record pace anyways.

after this, picking anyone but him for footlocker is crazy

Or maybe he was all out and didn't have much of a sprint left. 14:24 will do that to you.

yeah, and when hall ran it, the course was wet and muddy. today's conditions were much better, but i think hall would have even had a hard time running that fast- 26 seconds faster- probably not possible for him at that time.

that is really amazing though, because not only is that for 5k, but it's also on some rolling hills with some 50-70m inclines and such, so on a 3.0 mile flat course, he could probably easily go under 14:00 as he probably was under 14:00 today at the 3 mile mark. some good runners coming out these years. can't wait to see what he does in the 2 mile. maybe put jeff burbank's 2 mile record on the line??

i mean jeff nelson, of burbank

Incorrect. When Hall ran 14:50 the conditions were perfect. Foggy and cool with no wind. The following year was the downpour.

I believe he was 13:55 for 3 miles. On a course like Dettweiler this is easily a 13:40s performance

ya i was there at the mile mark and the finish line. 1st mile was 4:28, came through the 2nd mile at 9:12, third at 13:55, and straight collapsed at the finish line. the kid is an animal

Where is he going to school next year?

I'm betting Louis will be all over him.

yea i was there at the mile mark, mile to go and at the finish and straight up recorded the finish on my phone! greeeat race by german

I wouldn't say he looked relaxed - he basically fell across the finish line...see the video of the finish at DyeStat

and then he basically got right back up to didn't he? If you're not relaxed and you fall, you're not getting back up. He got up easily. Trust me, I was there watching. Shoot if I had the course record I'd fall down too regardless, cuz I can.

Here comes the phone call from Oregon

We should all be expecting a sub 14 from him then at Foot Locker Nats with some competition...sweet!
