This is a 10 year old company with over $50 million in annual sales. The usual idiots are just deflecting.

Are 1 or 2 people salty that Cash Money KT is getting paid? )

All pro runners are tested for banned substances also.

you are the one questioning the bare supplements.....based on what?

She will not. However, I really don't believe that her career is done. She will be back, of not this year, then next year.

It is simple. Time has come for KT to beg Sean Bronsan to coach her.

Doesn’t the agreement suggest at least tacit approval from adidas? I would have thought they were paying enough to reserve judgement on additional sponsors and nix agreements with anyone with whom they don’t want their own brand associated.

She just needs to use the arc trainer like Valby and she can get ready for the trials in 30 days. It works wonders.

No approval from adidas, they are footwear and apparel sponsor. They would have veto on any other clothing she would want to do, and of course exclusivity on footwear

They certainly would have vetoed this.

What are you still blathering about? KT got paid by a well established, well vetted nutrition company. Deal with it. When you find anything illegal about products that have been on the market for a decade, be sure to let us know.

Hahahaha. She is rubbing elbows with some shady characters. You seem to be very defensive about her poor decisions..

Not sure if she’ll run the trials but to say she’s done is disingenuous. People have been writing her off for years. I’d bet she’ll be back soon enough. Maybe not soon enough for some but when she’s ready. And she’ll do what she always does. Compete.

No. You are just droning on with you idiotic "point". Again, let us know if there is anything illegal about the products she endorsed. It has only been on the market for more than a decade, so who knows. Lol.

I think you are astute to remind us of Mary Decker. Regarding who is a 'generational athlete" you can argue that Decker, Mary Cain and Tuohy are in a class by themselves.

Tuohy is indeed a generational talent. She first emerged in the public eye nearly ten years ago in seventh grade when she immediately started breaking national age group records. Coming up in the powerful NY State scene she became the dominant runner in her region as a sophomore. She completely dominated national cross country in 2017, '18 and '19, winning NXN all three years. KT is without argument the greatest girl cross runner of all time. During the same time on the track her only competitor in the record books was Mary Cain.
Her transition to college was rough, running her first freshman race in the postponed 2020 NCAA champs where she was 25th and first freshman in. She was 9th in '21, individual champion in '22 and 5th in '23, leading the Pack to three consecutive NCAA D1 champs. During this period she set all time collegiate records in the indoor 15, 3000 and 5000 and the outdoor 5000, all of which still stand. By the way, when Parker dragged herself across the line in the NCAA indoor 3000 in 8:41, the second fastest collegiate indoor 3000 ever, she was still six seconds short of Katelyn's record. In 2023 she won the ACC 10000 title in her only attempt at that distance. Her 5th in the 2023 XC was still a huge factor in the Pack taking the team title for the three-peat.
Now she is embarking on another difficult transition, to the pros. Katelyn has always held the long view, even though staying firmly focused on her short term goals. Her first Olympic year, in my opinion is 2028 when she will be 26. She is an extremely tough, disciplined, and motivated person who is expanding her brand into healthy products like specialty granola and Olipop, a unique and interesting probiotic soda. The LAST thing she would do is get mixed up in doping. She also has over 110,000 Instagram followers, many of whom have been fans since they were tweenies. I have heard interviews with Natalie, Leachman, Englehardt and others who cite her as a great inspiration. Now tell me, name some other cross and track athlete in the last 20 years who has accomplished as much from middle school to post-grad. Katelyn is the definition of the Generational Runner.

Generational talent currently very overused. It should be the best runner in each generation, which is a 15-20 year period.

Decker and Cain are pretty good ones. Touhy is same generation as Cain.

Touhy was great in xc, and had the 1 spectacular college year...but she never entered any international events. With no international relevance, it's tough to compare Tuohy to Cain and Decker. Cain won the only ever global u20 us gold and made a world women's final at 1500m.

When all is done Simpson and St Pierre may also have had better overall careers than Touhy. (Even Valby has now matched Kt's college success)

We will see, but Touhy will need to make some USA teams as a pro to surpass Cain as her generation's best.
