TUOHY should have done the 5K 10K DOUBLE at NCAAs!

I was thinking this the whole time. She would have only had to run like a 33 30 to qualify. And then a 32 40 would have won. Trying to run two 1500s and then a 5k on the same day, twice, 2 weeks apart is way more effort.

It's obvious now but no one posted this before. But it does seem to make more sense. I guess they were all jazzed up about speed work.

If she had listened to me and used her monster closing speed to run a 60 second last lap she would have easily won in a sit and kick race

She is the record holder in the mile and more of a 1500m / 5k runner than 5k / 10k. She had a bad race, doesn't mean she should have done 10k

But come on man it's so much easier and less chance of injury

To have to warm up and get ready to run a fast 1500 and then stay loose and ready to run again in a few hours is way way more effort than just running a tactical 10K

And to have to do it two weeks in a row it's crazy

Like I said qualifying would have been a walk in the park for her and I think she would have won both races fairly easily in the finals

And actually I think she pretty much has to be a 10K runner to have any chance at the next level

Follow the path of least resistance

She dismantled the indoor mile champion Olivia Howell and the tall girl who was the favorite by setting a scorching pace. Not a bad consolation prize.

Nah. Kemboi was really good, would have been tough to beat

She's a 5k runner just has to move to altitude

Why beat a dead horse.......she should have just run the 5000M...they made a mistake, so they will know for next time.

Henes and Tuohy are the two smartest people.

Yes I agree with you! She really had no reason to burn out of that 1500m and even tho she had a bad race for the 1500, it doesn’t mean she would have done well in the 5k and 10k. Heck, she even pulled a DNS for the 5k from being so tired and possibly overcooked. Yes she should have maybe just done 5k or 10k but not both. She couldn’t handle two 1500 before a 5k, so how could she handle a 10k before a 5k. And unlike what all the others are saying, it still wouldn’t guarantee her a win or even a place in the top 3.

She underestimated the power of Valbymania to sap the determination, willpower, and energy out her and the rest of the competition.

That would have been 3 10ks in 6 weeks. Not a smart move if USAs is the goal. Yes she ran the 15 and fell flat on her face but she’ll be ready for other challenges.

Motivated Tuohy will be a force.

💪🤘

As usual you dudes are missing the obvious

First of all USAs is not the goal, because she had no chance internationally yet... I mean if she's only running 1503 for a 5K she has zero chance to make the US team

Let me repeat that she has zero chance no way in hell it's not happening

Further you guys don't seem to understand what a strong effort is versus what is an easy race

At ACC's her 10K was a joke for her she ran at a moderate pace

To qualify in the 10K and 5K she would have just had to run a sub 16 minute 5K again that's a joke for her

But warming up for a 1500 and running a pretty fast time like a 4:11 and then following it up with a 5K a few hours later is ridiculously more taxing

Anyway you'll be nice if a few people could at least enjoy these basic facts

The girl who won the 10K is a much slower runner at every distance and it was not a fast 10K time...

you may not think USAs was the goal, but she seemed to state it was her goal for a while.

it's too long to concentrate for a NC state student
