I didn't say that. I asked how is she able to obtain the kind of improvements she has with cross-training that we don't see amongst the best athletes. It's a question, not an accusation. I further indicate scepticism that it is simply because she has talents the best don't have. But scepticism is impermissible?
Skepticism is permissible. The problem is that you flood this and other threads with repetitive posts.
My posts are typically in response to others who are commenting on mine. A dialogue with myself is hardly necessary.

People keep commenting on your posts because you are tiresome. You ask questions. You get answers. You don't like the answers. You repeat the questions. I came to this thread because I am interested in details of Parker Valby's training. Check the last 5 or 6 pages. There are 20 posts per page and you consistently write 8 or 9 out of those 20. And they are repetitive. It's too much.
Please list the training of 5 top runners and then Parker's training. Otherwise, for all we know, she does the identical training to the majority of elite runners.

Yet you keep adding to them by addressing your posts to me. You aren't really catching up, are you?

So you want to keep a dialogue going with me, despite protesting about the repetition of my posts.
For all you know (not "we") she does the "identical training to the majority of elite runners". She doesn't. That is why her training has provoked interest and discussion. As other posts here and on other threads indicate, most top distance runners train with running and high mileage. Cross training, of any kind, is the exception and is usually part of injury recovery.
Yes, I am trying to engage you. But you haven't listed the training of any top runners. You just broadbrush everything. Post links to the trainingof 5 elites. You claim that most do high mileage. There are dozens to chose from. If you can't list 5, please stop making claims that you have no data to backup.

The comments at the bottom are almost all from adoring teenagers and young women. Now the intense rivalry between Valby and Tuohy fans on LRC makes sense.

He is giving you a clear hint, thar your posts are useless and that you should shut up. But you are too stupid to understand that.
OP links article with line "but few can push themselves are hard as she does". PV gives 120%!! Most other people can only go to 100. Or something.
And/or she is more talented than the other runners in the NCAA, or cross training with the ARC trainer is a better formula than the accepted standard of running supplemented with some weight workouts/calisthenics/plyo etc.
Running is clearly better than cross training. If not, other elites would do cross training.
Strange. Before her foot injury, PV DID do more running, but she was not as elite back then. Talent being consistent, why did she get faster after her injury and switch to mostly XT if XT is not as good as running?

Your question is ridiculous. Valby does running training 2/3 days a week. How many distance running elites and pros get by with that? They do 6/7 days of running and typically high mileage. This thread wouldn't exist if Valby's training was not the exception in the sport.

Am I missing any other possibilities?
I realise your comment is facetious but of course there is no such thing as "120%". It is absurd hyperbole. But the assumption is also that training should be at some kind of maximum effort. That isn't the case - for anyone. Training isn't racing. There would be no effective recovery if it were so and injury would be virtually inevitable.

And here is another who cannot stop engaging with me.
Will you just shut up? You are ruining this thread. Go away! No one is "engaging with you". We are trying to get rid of you to have a good, informative discussion! Go away.
