Will Katelyn Tuohy race the Olympic trials or not?

"correlation does not mean causation"

Usually does though. Run more and get faster.

or in your case, draw the line then plot the data

Bummer!

Thanks, Tuffy.

deal is this. you break your ankle jumping a steeple obstacle there is no point in playing for time. you're done. if you're more like klecker or tuohy, nagging but non-cast-and-crutches issue, why not leave it til closer to the qualifying deadline. if you get healthy you chase the number at some meet. if you can't, you do your klecker announcement and pull the plug. and as someone noted, tuohy would make it on rank at the moment, so she doesn't currently have to "do" anything to get in. it's just a health and fitness question.

re the drug stuff, no one has ever said they saw anything, and it's an amusing theory, a pro runner who never runs or they'd fail a test. nah, this girl was prized in HS, won out the gate, didn't magically appear atop NCAA, doesn't have some weird erratic pattern of meet attendance, isn't accused of whereabouts. literally nothing.

Maybe she can train on the arc trainer and get ready in a month? It would be kind of ironic if she was using the arc trainer given her rivalry with Valby. Tuohy should do it too though since it seems to work the best to get in shape quickly.

99% certain she won't run. If you know Katelyn, or Coach Henes, at all, you know she won't race until she is ready. Lord knows the scrutiny she will face should she go out and not perform to everyone's standards.

More time to work with Bare.

I hope she finally realizes that is just not true. Fans have stayed with her through thick and thin, injuries, down races, struggles. Personally I think it would be nice just to get her pro debut out of the way if healthy.

When you are popular and a good role model companies want to be associated with you.

That is true. She changed that by partnering with Bare. Adidas would have stayed far away if they were faced with the decision today.

Can we get an update on her status. I’ll keep my couch potato guess to myself until I know her physical capability. She’s been off the radar for some time now.

Companies have been known to sign athletes with questionable connections

Where would I find that top 30 list?

Yeah. It is probably better to wait a bit. But hopefully some of that pressure will ease off and she can just race like a regular pro. I appreciate that Elly Henes and Mike Smith seem to like 'racing into shape', as she has called it. But, Tuohy has to do what is right for her recovery.

Do you think she will perhaps debut at a Diamond league event this summer?

I just think the pressure is being self-imposed. Ok. She is not at peak fitness and the arc trainer she has is not magical. So what? No one is going to be down on her.

You blast every person who makes a realistic prediction. You and 2 other crazy fans created the pressure without realizing it. You called her generational talent.
