I heard Parker hates Boston. I mean, who wouldn't? And Parker in Boston just doesn't add up at all. She's just not a New England type of person. It was just shocking when I we found out she was running for New Balance Boston. Who knows if the gossip is accurate, but word on the street is she's back in Florida. Anyone have any info on this?
Why are you asking these people as though they have the answer? None of them are in her camp.
Until she or her coach come out and say it, we have no idea her actual mileage, we have no idea if she does/does not 'focus' on her mileage. Everything else is hearsay.

Do you know her personally? If so, tell us why she not a “New England type” of person?
How about this - teamnbboston on IG isn’t following her and she isn’t following the team either.
Were they previously?
I try not to put too much stock in anonymous rumors on Letsrun. They're sometimes true, sometimes not, but plenty of people take pleasure in trying to sell a convincing narrative that's a complete fabrication.
I do think that not having your brand affiliation listed on your IG profile is pretty telling, though.
Every time I come to a thread I see you adding absolutely nothing to it, please get yourself off letsrun and into mental health therapy Armstronglivs, we all want what's best for you.

That is a weird comment. Im not a Japan type person but I really enjoyed living in Tokyo for several years.
An elite athlete not focused on their training? Really?
He didn’t say that. He said not focused on her mpw. Which isn’t uncommon. At my peak I was consistently running 75-85 mpw but that number wasn’t the goal or the determining factor in the training, it was the workouts themselves. I only knew my mileage by adding it up myself and not everyone on the team even cared.
It would take a minute to calculate her weekly mileage so of course they track it and especially for someone who’s had injuries in the past. He probably means he doesn’t obsess about it.
I kid you not, Boston's training is a real challenge. The weather there is so unpredictable; one minute it's scorching hot and the next it's freezing cold. And let's not even start on the lack of soft surfaces. It's a nightmare that messes you up destroys you. Each step feels like a battle. Boston training is rough, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. No way it’s good for Parker as a 10k specialist.
The reason why this thread started is because Parker Valby isn't actually worth a lot of money and always injured. Her only media presence is primarily posts odd selfies with a puckering, duck face. She barely competes and door say lacks the drive needed to succeed. Her father may have pushed for a big sponsorship deal with New Balance, but in reality, they ( New Balance ) got a bad deal. The competitive scene among college women is evolving rapidly, leaving Parker in the dust due to her lack of serious training. Not to mention, Boston isn't the best fit for her training regimen. Personally, I believe New Balance overspent on her, wasting valuable resources. It's no surprise that Nike opted not to invest top dollar in her.
