TUOHY will break the NCAA 5K RECORD at USAs!!!

Purrier 1:59.99-3:58

Schweizer 2:02-4:00

Mclean 1:59.72-4:02

Simpson 2:00-3:57

Who are the Americans that you are referring to? Unless Tuohy is now Mu, she isn't breaking 2. If she breaks 2, she is a 16 minute 5k runner.

Her only mistake is that she sometimes defines herself as not being speedy. Or not being known for a kick. You shouldn't live in Fantasyland but you also shouldn't unnecessarily limit yourself or define yourself.

You're only proving my point. The point is it's not a priority for those runners cuz they're focused on other distances. I'm saying if it was at all a priority or she trained specifically for the distance she could easily do it. And like I said the shoe technology is only going to make it easier

I find this meaningless unless you also provide either 400 m times or 5000 m times. If you ask me, Tuohy ran 4:06.8 more based on 5000 m strength than 400 m speed. For the runners you list, I would say the opposite. Hence I would say they would all be faster in the 800.

Again it's just because she's so good at distance running that she hasn't developed herr natural speed

Anyway sage hurta is a good runner to compare her to because she was competing against her in the mile in high school when she was like 4 years younger than her and doing almost as good for someone who was ridiculously younger

Anyway I think she has more natural ability at any distance than hurta... And if she focused on the same distances that sage does she would outcompete her... Hurta is a 159 800 runner...

Again these are hypotheticals that will never happen because she's just better at the 1500 and the 5K... And no I don't think she could be world-class in the 800 and beating the best but she could be pretty darn good...

Anyway I just think you guys way overestimate natural talent and way underestimate how much specialized training plays a part in all of these performances

Anyone who could be world-class in the 1500 m could be one notch below world class in the 800 m

So if she has the potential to run 355 in 1500 m. she has the potential to run a shade under 158 in the 800! but that will never happen because she'll focus on the distance where she can be among the very best and not on the distance where she will be a close second... Metaphorically speaking!

But if she doesn't get her 800 m speed down, getting to sub 4 in 1500 gets tough if you ask me.

It will definitely be interesting to see Sinclaire vs Elle. Still think Elle has the edge although I love rooting for Sinclaire too

Katelyn does sometimes or most of the time downplay her achievements and talent but I think it is also because she's not confident yet about her kick and is still working hard on it, it was something she never had to use in her HS career.

Katelyn's natural speed truly isn't developed yet, I also cannot comprehend how everyone in this site always talks about 5000m when obviously the Mile national record was the more impressive record that she owns. The 5000m has been broken so many times, yet the Mile record stood for 36 years until Katelyn broke it and 4 years later, its still standing despite countless talented girls going for it.

her 4:06 shows that she has phenomenal natural raw speed in her that is yet to be developed in the collegiate level - watch her 4:06 race again, and it was effortless and looked to easy for her.

you look at the top lists in the NCAA for the 1500m and she ranks 7th best of all-time yet she's classified as a 5000m runner

people always say, her progression isnt like the others in the 5000, but she only raced once 5k as a 15 year old then never ran a 5k ever again until she went to college...... but always turns a blind eye and never looks at her 1500m progression, which is the only race she has always raced since middleschool-high school - college ... 4:24 - 4:14 - 4:06

katelyn would have been a 2x NCAA 5000m champion now if not for the covid year rule

Why does every KT thread feel like its one person having a conversation with themselves over multiple handles?

just realized as im watching the 5000m indoor race

but its not, u cant make more than 2 anonymous names in a thread... she has lots of fans but also lots of naysayers saying shes not going to make it, shes not gonna improve, not gonna win, not gonna progress, they keep saying that hence the arguments are pretty much silly and just repetitive.. mention katelyn's name and people always thinks they need to add their unsolicited "burnout, someone is better, she's far from the WR" opinions

i dont think male runners get this much scrutiny

There is some of that. But it goes both ways. The haters post under multiple handles as well

Who is coaching tuohy now? Does NC State provide her with a coach and a trainer? Does NC State pay for her room and board while in Eugene? Who is picking up the tab for meals? Just curious

no idea, shes said shes staying in eugene for 3 weeks... fans posted photos with katelyn, i think it was after a tempo or something.. it was just her, no elly and other runners

coach henes should be there, not sure on the assistants and media team
