Natalie Cook cruises insane workout

Good workout but it doesn’t predict 9:30. I currently run low 9:1x and would struggle a lot with this workout / find it nearly impossible

What’s Grace Ping up to? Didn’t she also go to OSU?

My theory is that low-mileage runners can run disproportionately impressive workouts. If she was running 60mpw I doubt she could pull this one off. But if you run 20mpw you can crush workouts but the difference between that and your races is narrower.

it is not for most, but it is a workout you read about on here constantly. like i said, it is advanced. it's not at all unheard of.

fwiw, I don't think it's necessary and have never assigned anything even approaching this.

You guys are a bunch of boobs! Exactly the kind of workout you would expect for a runner of her ability... I mean she's not going to post least impressive workout...

It looks like that is a view Taylor Roe will become familiar with next year.....

5:00/10:02/4:55 equally as crazy. shes about to grind that 3200 record into the dust.

Peg 38's

She's wearing Vaporfly 2’s.

What exactly is bad about her form??

Yes. Her ability is 15:00 at this time. Tuohy could not do this workout. This workout indicates 8k ability of 5 minute pace.

I feel like this workout indicates better fitness than 15:25, and certainly a pretty quick 3200. My lifetime Pr's are 9:24-32, 15:20, 31:41 and I'd have been hard pressed to run that workout off such short recoveries. I worked up to doing 5-6 X 1600 @ 4:55-5:00 with lap jog's (2:30-3:00).

At Runninglane she showed a wonky futon the turf, but it is much more subdued now. Might be turf v. track

"foot on" not futon

Why would anyone waste a good effort on a non-event like the 3200?

Maybe she's just faster than you

That was his point. He runs 9:15 and would struggle with the workout so she has to be capable of at least 9:20.

If he struggles with that at 9:15, wouldn't she be capable of running faster then 9:15? And if it's such a struggle for a 9:15 runner, and she's breezing through it, then she should break 9

yes and her sister lauren recently committed as well!
