Valbymania: Shoe Companies Expecting Great Things! Her base may be between 650k-800k

And? Its toothless. Accuse Tuohy all you want.

Reveal your identity. If you’re going to derail nearly every Valby thread with your unrelenting smear campaign, the least you can do is go on record with who you are.

If you have proof it isn't libel.

Your repeated attempts to defame Valby though would have difficulty being proven libel due to the difficulty of proving that an anonymous (but registered) user on this message board is believable enough to damage her reputation. If her lawyers actually believed Astro's repeated claims of doping hurt her ability to get a professional contract of a reasonable value, then she might have the evidence she needs to proceed with legal action against both you and Letsrun. But no one believes you.

The scoreboard is Tuohy 15, Valby 13, on the number of pages of discussions for: Tuohy may race at trials versus Valby is getting 800k from some shoe companies.

Astro has watched a total 38 minutes of clips across Parker's entire career, knows nothing of her other than her IG page he's stalked, has never met her, knows nothing about her training other than the vague responses given to Runners World, and yet....KNOWS SHE'S A DOPER.

You're an f'ing CLOWN dude!

There is nothing to believe. I am expressing an opinion and giving reasons. That is the simple point I am making in that distinction. And given that we just saw a high profile doping case out of high school (Assinga), and other cases involving college runners (eg, Ross), exactly what is so inconceivable? And yes, if I actual make a claim that, for example, "so and so bought PEDs from me and I have the receipts, etc.", and I actually had the receipts, then truth is a defense. This is a doping sport. Even Nico has been speculated about. Welcome to the big time.

The Tuohy thread was started on May 28th. This one was started on June 3rd.

I'm skeptical of anybody with sudden performance jumps AND on a training plan that no one else is doing. I was very skeptical of the Ingebrigtsens until a lot of other runners started copying their training and nutrition (the bicarbonate stuff) and having tons of success as well. Maybe Valby has unlocked something with a few key workouts and massive amounts of cross training? Maybe! I'm more skeptical than not, though, until other runners start emulating this and also having success.

You are skeptical of her training? You are saying she lies? You are skeptical if her performances? I witnessed many of them. They really happened. Are you saying they are like Bigfoot? You can watch replays unless you think they are fake videos.

The fastest 5000m high school runner emulates Valby’s training. She’s only a sophomore. So there is that.

BTW Bob, this high schooler that credits Valby’s training for salvaging her injury-plagued career, is on the heat sheet for a race this coming Sunday, with some other athletes on that list you may not have heard of…some gals named Cranny, Infeld, Schweizer, etc.

There is a very good argument to be made that is exactly the type of training you should be doing as a high schooler in order to avoid burnout, but no high schooler is even remotely this fast. I'm not sure what I think of Leachman yet. Her times at her age are completely insane.

And to me, doesn’t have the prettiest form, although it seems to be looking better with maturity (bigger and stronger).

I decided to watch one of her races after your comment, and that was my first thought. Her form is not smooth at all. It's weird to see someone with that kind of raw speed having her legs flailing to the sides and her arms punching across her body. She looks tremendously strong though.

And even with all of the cross training, I've found news articles referencing at least 3 significant injuries she's already had. This is just a bizarre athlete for 16 years old.

Never been near her IG page. No thanks.

I do love the different levels of sensitivity:

Anonymous poster(s)-"I think Tuohy dopes." Response: Yawn, giggles.

Anonymous poster-"I find Valby's remarkable rise suspicious." Response: "OMG! This is a crime against humanity! How dare you!? This is libelllllll!!!!! You are killing the sport!!"

LOL. I mean, OK.

She has scoliosis, and couldn’t handle high mileage without getting injured. She heard about Valby’s training, started emulating it, and her times improved significantly within a year.

So this past winter, she was traveling across the country, frequently racing like a banjee; posters on this board were frowning. Unfortunately,…😞she picked up a hamstring injury (though correlation is not always causation, as they say).

Hot take: Touhy, Valby, and Wiley all seem like great kids and I don’t believe any of them are doping. It’s exciting to have young talent across multiple events and I hope all 3 kill it on the international stage.

Parkervalby .com is available to buy. Could be a great investment to sell or rent out at a later date. I’m surprised she didn’t lock that down already.

Anyone want to band together and buy it?

Por favor. Her 10,000m PR is nearly 2 minutes slower than the new WR. She'd be lucky to make the final of any global championship.

She's blond, American, and reasonably fast. She's the second coming of Suzy Favor. Leave it at that.
