How was Tuohy so fast in junior high? I assumed it was talent but you seem to think it was due to some help.
No, I don't "seem to think" that.
Parker Valby/Natalie Cook - what am I missing?

So she was just much more talented than everyone else? Interesting how one runner can be more talented.

Sometimes they aren't. As we saw with Houlihan and constantly observe these days with Kenyans. Houlihan showed talent at any early age but nothing that suggests she had any "special help".

Okay, so your point is that Tuohy is like Houlihan.

I would debate with you but that is against the mods policy. But, no - that isn't my point. It is yours.

Does anyone know exactly what they are doing on the elliptical and what the *nature* 25 miles are?
Maybe they are putting in massive blocks on the elliptical to build the base and then doing exclusively workouts when running to shape it for running speed

I read an interview that stated Parker does 2 hours of cross training on the days she does not run. I would also expect that she does a lesser amount of cross training on her run days. That’s a massive amount of work.

Correction: Tuohy showed talent at an early age but nothing that suggests she had any "special help".

My mistake above. In my last sentence that you were apparently responding to I meant to refer to Tuohy, not Houlihan. A typo.

Lying for miles wrote:
They’re not telling the whole truth, plain and simple. They’re omitting information that would make it clear their mileage is higher than it would appear. A lot of people due this because it’s “impressive” and makes people think “imagine how good they could be if they could run x miles”. It’s an ego trip for a lot of athletes. Unless I can see your log, and even then I don’t entire trust it, I do not believe anybody when it comes to the “low mileage” types who make it a point to tel you how little they run. Like, unprompted “I only run twice a week” yeah sure kid.
I think most people overtrain thinking "more is better."

Not unnatural at all. That’s the muscle of someone that works & trains hard. As someone else mentioned, she has worked hard for success and has been successful from early in her teens. You’re going to insinuate that she’s had “help” since middle school?
You’re just a hater and a tool bag who has a little Mia for a daughter that has never had success so now you’re jealous. GTFO

It’s called hard work son, something you’ll never know anything about!

I confess I didn't read every word of every Parker Valby cross training thread. I belong to a gym that has an Arc Trainer and I have used it a few times. My machine has "stride", "glide", and "climb" settings. Does anyone here know which setting or settings Valby uses?
