It seems like the teen prodigies made nice improvements as professionals. What is wrong with Tuohy? She was running similar times in high school. She has been injured or sick so often over the past 18 months. Does she have an ED? Is she overtraining?

I thought she had put on some weight but on her recent pics she looked extremely lean.
So maybe it is issues with food that caused her inconsistent performances? Hopefully she has it worked out.
Tuohy ran 15:07 a few months back on limited training. And she ran 4:26 in the mile, which was Ok. The 15:21 made no sense based on where people anticipated she was in her training. But hopefully it is just a bad race.
That said, injuries we know about aside, I recall that in the Spring on 2023 she started to struggle in training. She spoke about it and her coach mentioned it. The consensus was that she might be overcooked, kind of like Nico at NCAA outdoors. But in retrospect I suspect there might be something more too it. Injury, illness, overtraining, caloric, take your pick. But what happened to her at NCAAs was very odd. Time will tell.

If she’s experiencing a setback with regards of ‘too much too soon’, we won’t be informed unless she chooses to make this known. I don’t believe we are entitled to this information unless she chooses to share this. If she rebounds next time we may never know and that is fine. While in Europe she may not have the infrastructure she’s used to closer to home.

Did she take the vaccine?

I hope Tuohy can recover from whatever is going wrong and reach her potential. Perhaps try a new coaching situation. Whatever she has been doing since spring of 2023 has not been working that well.
It will be 2 prime age years lost.
