You just like to troll and argue and bully. Obviously Tuohy held back to marshal a kick at Nuttycombe, which was ineffective since Valby had already crushed her by that point in the race.

Care to say when has Valby won with a kick instead of front running?

Replying to you is akin to arguing with an ignorant donkey. If you actually watched any of her races this year, you would know she had closed some down with a long kick. But you don’t even want to try and comprehend facts, but instead want to wallpaper threads with your mental diarrhea. It just stinks up this place making a time-wasting crap-hole, and the BroJo’s like using you as a proxy to generate mouse-clicks. The BroJo’s are complicit in allowing trolls to go on-and-on endlessly taking unfounded and stupid swipes at athletes.
Ah yes, when Valby showed up oddly substantially stronger than the year before. Imho Valby doped to make money and get a contract. Someone realized she would be very marketable and went for broke. That is the most logical explanation given the absence of any other credible explanation. Again the way people here just gloss over her massive improvement, her complete absence of fatigue and her ability to run times only established pros can run is laughable. Again, she broke the 5000m record two days after winning the 10000m, completely unheard of for a college runner. It takes a special kind of blindness not to see what is going on.
I don’t think she’ll have a successful pro career either, but my reason is simpler. It will be because she doesn’t run enough in training when her best events (5K, 10K) require YOU TO RUN A LOT IN TRAINING.
fortunately, we no longer need to guess, as you are doing. There is a clock in track. She already better then US pros.
SteepleSquigs 2.0 - will ink a fat contract plus get side money from endorsing Whole Foods, some kombucha brand, the blue recovery juice that she mentioned last night, some additional women centric products. Will have a huge social media following.
She may win a national title or two, make some teams, but she will not be a medal threat or perennial global top 5 performer in her best event.
Like all the other US women? Bit of an unfair bar to place out there for "success". If she wins trials is she a failure?
Parker is a big fish in a small NCAA pond . Her times are nowhere near competitive at the best in the world level. It will be interesting to see how much she improves against real competition but I don’t think she’ll win any gold medals.
Shalane Flanagan, 10,000 m Olympic silver medalist, would like a word. She was a two-time NCAA XC winner, and a 3,000 m NCAA champion.
Parker Valby is doing just fine.
I wondered what the next "PV has no chance at next level" argument would be. Apparently its "Gold medals" like all the other US women.
PV can't beat KT
PV beat KT but will be limited in success due to XTraining
OK, she won indoor titles but she won't do that in outdoors
OK she won outdoors but her times wont ever be competitive with US pros because of her Xtraining
OK she is now better than virtually all US pros but she cant beat the best in the world!!!!
Well at least now we are doubting her on a much much bigger stage.

What you have described isn't a kick. Some of you will twist the meaning of every term to try to explain what isn't true. Quite simply, Valby doesn't have a sprint - regardless of whether she has needed one. Your agitation at hearing this doesn't prove otherwise.

I like the way her fans think 30mpw with an arc trainer will eventually put her in the company of the top Kenyans and Ethiopians.
Karissa and Elise ran 14:4x last night. ESP and Weini are in great shape. Valby only makes the Oly team this year if ESP doesn’t do the 5 or Elise doesn’t do the 10 because she is, in fact, not better than the top US pros.

Cranny ran 14:46.49 and Schweizer ran 14:48.60 in a paced race full of professionals including Hassan. Valby ran 14:52.18 and crushed the field by 18 seconds.
Valby jogged the first 600 in 1:51.80 and then ran the next 4400 in 13:00.38. Cranny hit 600 in 1:47.36 and then did her next 4400 in 12:59.13. Schweizer came through 600 in 1:48.39 and did her next 4400 in 13:00.21.
Valby is right there with Cranny and Schweizer right now. We have not witnessed a race yet this year where Valby was pushed all the way to the line by competitors. We have no idea what she can potentially run. We will find out in two weeks.
