Katelyn Tuohy's 5000m ceiling looks like only 15:00s

Seems more and more accurate with every passing day

That 15:03 she ran is likely the closest she will ever get to sub-15.

Nice bumping of a thread and then chiming in, you insufferable loser.

Highly doubtful. The issue for Katelyn is will she do the things pro runners are willing to do. This is a dirty sport, and natural talent means little against peds. How many US women are magically pring in their mid to late 20s? That suggests a standard pro trajectory, with pro "training" beginning postcollege. Now that can be jump started earlier if you are brazen enough, as I think we are seeing. She just has to be patient.

She's apparently been taking your advice but so far it's not working out for her.

Maybe your magical drugs & supplements are so great as you think.

What if she has been doing that for years?

Let's consider some actually facts here instead of troll logic. Valby just now gained notoriety for being the first college woman to break 15 minutes in the 5000m. That means that every single US pro distance runner we have ever had that has gone through the NCAA was not running under 15 minutes in college. Not Ellie St. Pierre. Not Elise Cranny. Not Karissa Schweizer. Not Alicia Monson. Not Ellie Henes. In fact, Tuohy broke Hene's record while at NC State. All of these women run under 15 minutes now after some training as a pro. There is no reason whatsoever to assume that Tuohy won't also be under 15 minutes after training and experience as a pro. She really just got started. Why even post something like this? Do you just get off on putting out doomsday prdictions that have no basis in fact to rain on someone's parade? It would be one thing if you had anything to back up your claim, but it is just bullcrap. Og course she will run under 15 minutes. All of the dtat from previous women distance runners points to it. Women that Tuohy beat in college have done it. She will too!

Most of the elite women dropped 1 minute after college. Your logic has Valby breaking the world record.

Who's to say she won't. I bet after some training as a pro she runs a good bit faster than 14:51, just like I think Tuohy will run a good bit faster than 15:03.

Or a more fun prediction... In the 2028 Olympic Trials Valby and Tuohy will be the seasoned pros in the 5000m. They will use the current college phenom as their rabbit until they decide to make their big moves and then sprint to the finish to place 1&2 by fractions of a second.

By posting something like this, it just shows that you're a truly sad person who needs to work on their envy problems. Do you enjoy pulling wings off flies too? What pleasure does it give you to revel in the pain of others - is your schadenfreude that rewarding to you?

She is on to double thresholds...time will tell how things will go
