And btw, if you think she ran such a dominant xc season, won a national title, won a massively impressive nationals race but will not significantly improve on her current 15:14 pr if healthy, that is just not based in reality.
I'm assuming Tuohy trains specifically for longer distances like the 3000m, 5000m and 6k but less training on the 1500m, despite the lack of training on the 1500m distance, it is her stronger event, whether people like it or not.
This is a hard argument for me simply because i love miler katelyn but also i think having 1500m just makes her an even better 5000m runner ... you can always improve your fitness and endurance more easily than improving your raw speed and turnovers and having a kick .. its an advantage having that 1500m speed, also shes not running in the wrong event, she can run both 1500m and 5000m like jakob and not going farther away... karissa schweizer
Come on haters she’s only 20 lol you can’t park at that age even if you started running very seriously at age 8-10 give her at least 3-4 years and maybe then you can start thinking about peaking at certain distances. Don’t be fkn ridiculous and focus on running sub 16 5k guys lol
If we understand your code, you are saying that Tuohy will start doping as soon as she goes pro and she will make large gains at that time? Please clarify.
...every top US pro has the same progression. They run in college, graduate, join a pro team, and suddenly run massive prs.
+1. This ^
Absolutely, Kaetlyn Tuohy can improve when she goes pro, and suddenly can dedicate 100% of her time towards training. Of course, injuries can mess up anyone's trajectory, but if she can stay healthy, she absolutely can improve her 5,000.

no school, no cross country season, no meets every two weeks, just casual running and speed workouts w ya friends then chill and then race only 5-10 times per year, the pros got it good
if katelyn goes pro, im going to be bored, theres not much races in the pro lvl they just hide and train, to peak for nationals/trials
And this is why I’m so happy this young woman is getting paid. She runs one of the best indoor times ever in the NCAA, just a few seconds behind a seasoned pro, just a few weeks after an extraordinary win in NCAA XC, and some dingus on this site uses that as evidence that she’s not going to have a high ceiling as a pro. Ridiculous.
Yes. But this is current day on the track. She would have lost the 3000 to several women that Valby beat in XC. It seems that you are having a hard time with a very simple analysis.

According to astro, unless she's already been doping from age 12.
Simpler analysis is that Tuohy is currently 3-0 against the athlete in question and defeated her in the big race a few weeks back. Nothing was on the line at BU. Still, her 5000m BU time lines up with around an 8:50 in the 3000m. But hope springs eternal.
I haven't read all 190 posts in this thread, so my apologies if this has already been said. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the woman that beat Tuohy in the 5,000 last weekend, Rodenfels, is 26. She set a PR at 26. Tuohy is only 20. Tuohy could easily lower her PRs for several years and if so, sub-15 is possible.

You are correct. This whole thread is wrong on so many levels.
Nothing against Tuohy, it seems that a sub 15 will not easily happen for her. Her form is getting worse, cannot kick at the end when running a faster pace. Looking at her past 5000m races, she has only ran 15:10s for three outings.
This is everything against Tuohy. Whoever made this post knows nothing about running. She runs this race and time off of XC season and no pure speed work. She has not been training for track and prob has not been on the track but a handful of times in quite awhile. This is off XC training so. Get her rested. In some fast miles and 3ks, and she will run sub 15:00 if not this year but next!
