I looked up Elliot Giles this morning. British, ran a 1:43. He had a very steady progression, and credits his success to consistent training without injury. He does train 4 days/week on elliptical/elliptigo. Track on the other days.

Very gradual and steady progression.
He is also an 800 specialist. He isn't a distance runner. So how many top distance runners choose similar xt methods as their training over a programme of running?

It's obsession to discuss the subject of the thread? That must include everyone who has posted.
I'm interested. You're obsessed. Stalking young athletes to accuse them is predatory behaviour. You do this thousands of times.
The obsession here is yours for attacking anyone who asks questions about a given runner's training and performances when she is the subject of the thread. So what are you so afraid of?

I agree that so much xt isn't going to be better than running, for nearly all top athletes. But Giles has had success. Has Valby also had very gradual and steady progression based on years of consistent training, similar to Giles? I honestly don't know.

So why are you an anonymous accuser of young athletes in thousands of posts if you're so fearless?
None because they want to run as fast possible. Do you still not understand this? Parker is sacrificing being elite in exchange for being healthy. The hope is that she can substitute running for cross training over time. I again thank you for continuing to point out that running is more effective than cross training. You continue to indirectly point out how talented she truely is.

Actually, I am a follower of the sport who is opposed to the doping that has largely taken it over in recent decades. Of course that means I come up against the legion of doping deniers, like yourself.

I'm happy for you that you take it that way. Those smarter than you don't.

That doesn't appear to be the case with the subject of the thread. The progression has been sudden and extreme.
Has anyone used Arc trainers? I've stepped on for a few seconds before. What do they feel like? Closer to an xc ski workout, or one of those ellipticals with incline you can adjust?
The improvement has been dramatic. And as I have noted, it fits a very odd pattern.
Anyway, no one can tell me that they saw what she pulled at indoor nationals and that they think that was normal. She does not fatigue, which clearly suggests something.
This is a doping sport. It just is. Like every other endurance sport. When you see something odd, when it seems too good to be true, when you have to come up with theories about training to attempt to explain it, you already know the score admitted or not.

Not everyone who disagrees with you and says you are ruining this thread is a doping denier. Evidence:
Doping exists at all levels of this sport. You are ignorant, you are wrong about most of your statements, and you are ruining this thread.

You're a cynic, with a massive chip on your shoulder. That's not the way forward.
Projecting your cynicism and ignorance onto young athletes is abusive behaviour.
The most odd pattern is when a high school girl develps large shoulders and a square jaw as a top distance runner and then disappears when testing starts.

I didn't say everyone who disagrees with me is a doping denier. But you are because you won't entertain the possibility that any runner you are a fan of might be a doper. It's easy to say "doping exists at all levels in the sport" - as you do - but then you can't see any. Like others here I have been discussing Valby's training, I haven't discussed doping, and yet you claim this is "ruining the thread". For someone who says they acknowledge doping is in the sport you're terrified of discovering it.
