She had a bunch of 9th place finishes along with 18, 24, and 33.
what is your point?....should we say bad things about Hutchins, Ewert and Thorvaldson now as well? Considering how poor her 3000s were in February of 2021, the 24th at NCAA XC was pretty amazing.
I just recall numerous postings about this regarding her recovery from a major knee surgery a a year ago, apparently explaining why she didn't run as well in the 2021 cross country season.
Here's a link for reference: "Literally no one says she came back quick, no one. It took Tuohy over a year to come back. Per coach henes she had to take 6-8 months off of really training when entering school."

I’m sure there are other examples but what could be the training/physiology explanation of these extreme outliers on just a few days a week of running? Is it talent or maybe something unique about female physiology and might...
natalie cook and parker valby are new to this level!!!!!!
katelyn tuohy has been doing this for years and years and has proven so many times that she is one of the toughest and strongest! has continued to improve through the years even with set backs she rose above it all!!
so yea this is the trend for years
people tell katelyn tuohy she can't, so she proves em wrong.
I questioned the "major" at the time, and I still do. I had PRP injections once at a surgery center that was deemed "surgery". A few shots. What she had done I do not know, and I doubt anyone not close to her knows either.
Hard to see everyone falling to a lie and stupidly arguing around it. Sources say Valby runs 40+ miles. 35mpw long run plus really hard track workouts and 2hrs+/day 4x week cross training.
No doubt. Parker Valby trains a ton. She is not undertrained. She works like hell.
It is Valby who said she is running 25mpw. Is she lying?
You are surprised that she stuck with running even though she was a state champ and now is on her way to becoming a professional runner? That is like being surprised that someone went into engineering because they never had to study in math or science class becuase it came so easy to them.
I am surprised that anyone can succeed at anything - and not just running - on a fraction of what others have to do, who also have ability.
I'm surprised she is a runner if she can't run more than 25mpw. It's a bit like a boxer who can't train in the ring for risk of injury.
But you didn't answer the question, which was very pertinent.
My point was the cross-training will be no better at raising VO2 max than running, or top athletes wouldn't have used running to build their fitness, as they have for decades. If she or any athlete can't put in the necessary mileage I don't see how they can make it to the top.
