Anybody know what the deal was after the race? Schweizer and Valby both were hugging the same big guy in the stands then sat down and took off their shoes and handed them to him. Was it a Nike guy?
yes he's a Nike guy, anyone else notice Valby was trying to get the spikes off right away. It seemed her feet were in discomfort? Once she took them off she was able to celebrate. I bet 10k in spikes doesn't feel great.
She did the same thing at Bryan Clay. They seem to hurt her feet.
I missed Schweizer handing hers to the same guy.
and her dad sat there watching with a mild expression and his finger-tips-touching hand pose

There was a shoe going on at least after some of the races. But maybe they were checked beforehand.
*shoe check going on
I was surprised to see Valby up there at the end - she isnt afraid to dial up the pace and challenge the more established pros. Makes herbanfun racer to watch.

Dumbest post of the day. Probably of the week.

PARKER closed with a 67.0 WOW for her
Truly no limit to how little this forum knows about track. Parker can't compete with pros, parker can't kick.
She can kick. Add that to what we were the most wrong about this year.

Watch the 10000, it was on tonight!
Karissa thinks she’s in too.
“Schweizer, meanwhile, knew around the slowest time she could race if she wanted to advance to Paris in the 10,000.
“I knew the lowest time was probably going to be 31:50,” Schweizer said. “When I came around, I knew we had to have a fast last lap … It went a lot slower than I was expecting but I knew I couldn’t stress myself out. I did look at the time towards the end and knew I had to squeeze it down for the last lap just to ensure I could go up in the ranking system. The ranking system has been a bit of a whirlwind, for sure.”
I think it was Paul Moser, from Nike.
How did Touhy do?!

Yeah. If anyone doesn’t see that timing/ correlation as fishy they are extremely naive.
Not sure why he would be taking Valby's spikes. maybe not a spike check from a nike employee.
Karissa has dealt with multiple serious injuries over the last few years and she is still nowhere near her peak yet. If she can stay healthy I would not bet against her replicating or exceeding those times.
67secs is a "kick"? We should ask Obiri or Kipyegon.

The top 3 ran the last 3k in about 8:45. The last mile in 4:38. Very impressive. Valby is damn near a double Olympian. For being as fragile as glass for much of her career, she seems to be indestructible now. If anyone can butts in the stands for distance, she can do it.
It sure makes me think that there is more than one way to skin a cat in terms of the training. If you can replace a couple of runs a week by doing cross-training and still an aerobic benefit that is near what you might get from the run that might help your overall health for the long run. I've mostly been a pure mileage type of runner, but it makes your rethink.

She’s in good company if you’re beginning to compare her to the worlds best.
