Tuohy runs 9:22 for a fairly easy win in the 3000. After the race said something about allergies and not feeling well for several weeks. But she does not seem at top form.

She should cut her season off after the 15 tommorrow. She’s been slipping a bit and doesn’t seem to be 100% in it.

That would be the smart move, I think they are too insecure to cut it and take a break.

I agree, no point in running the 5000 against the pros if she is not at top form. Ditto for NBN.

What does that mean and why do you think you are smarter than they are? Have you met them?

Well I only made one post and don’t really “care so much.” However, I simply made a suggestion based on her running noticeably slower than last year in every race she’s run during track. I don’t think it’s out of this world to suggest she cut her season and start over with some base mileage as I would suggest to anyone else who is somewhat struggling. It probably wouldn’t help her confidence to have her doors blown off in a pro 5000m when she’s not at 100%. But hey, it’s up to her and her coaches. If she wants to continue trucking on then by all means let her truck on. However, I believe it’s safe to say that based on her season so far that may not be a smart course of action. I guess we’ll see.

Tuohy is DNS in 1500, along with Sarah Trainor

Runners I’ve known from her program (North Rockland) seemed to max out in high school then kind of get lost in collegiate years. The school/community is super focused on their sports so a lot of support and incentive to excel athletically. Not much nuance or sophistication, though, in their training/development.

she supposedly is going to New Balance and not Martinez as well, but if she is not feeling well then why?

Sarah Connelly ran a nice time to win the 1500 (4:31), 4 second PR I think

Runners from most programs max out in high school. We only focus on elites

Look for her to shut down the season. Mom and dad now making all the decisions for her running

Well, the people who are endlessly carping about her racing too fast and too often must be relieved beyond description. They finally have a reason to be optimistic about her future!

according to lohud, she is ending her season. she will not do nationals

Glad to hear there is some sanity in this world.

Something about a sinus infection.

Her career = over before it began.

Training too intense. Too many miles. Obsessive mom and dad coach.

She ran some fast 5ks in high school. Peak of her running resume.

Smart maneuver. There is nothing left for her to prove in high school . If I were her parents I would have her go pro .

Yes... go pro when it’s clear she is likely not even the top HS athlete anymore. Do you know how terrible that would be for her? A few years of bad performances and racing sparingly as a pro would not be good. I’d think picking the best college coach and trying to be the best athlete she can be by 2024 is her best bet. 2020 is out of the question.
