Valby Gets Up To Speed w/NB Boston

I don't have 13 minutes to watch a video. In short, what's cringy about it?

Still socially awkward,

and I’m sure her new teammates just loves that 15-20 m gap she had to have on every rep in a base building workout .

Lots of people are socially awkward. I would rather see that than someone that is overconfident.

People always are looking for ways to denigrate Valby. Why is that?

Great video. Something wrong with you if you didn't enjoy it. Everything about it was awesome from discussions to the running to the scenery.

Have u watched her interviews?

Trust me she doesn’t lack confidence. She knows fan boys like all y’all swoon over her and she tries too hard to play the cute ditzy routine and it’s all just awkward

Her dad had that 15-20m gap during workouts put into the unique contract.

Pretty sure they wanted her to have that gap for the footage bc it was mainly showcasing her as the addition to NB Boston…Mark even said she had an advantage during this workout bc she’s a 10k runner while most of the other girls are mid distance

Jealous much?

Video is listed as "Private" for some reason. Can't watch it.

I guess FloTrack took it down? Maybe it's a paid-subscriber thing? (I'm never giving $$ to that company, F them). Anyone know?

It is visible on youtube

How closely did you have to watch the video so you could find something to pick out to hate post about?

It's back up, thanks. Weird. It was down for a while there.

She’s successful and attractive. I’m sure salty people have taken pot shots at her throughout her entire life.

And right on cue all u fan boys flock to her defense.

truth is I enjoy watching her run and have a very keen interest in her career. But being in SEC country and watching her post race interviews all the way up to her OT interviews she just tries way too hard to be something she’s not.
she always tries to make awkward humor and stuff that falls flat. U can see it still in this. I doubt she acts like that when cameras isn’t rolling.

that’s all im saying…

If that loop was 1km (with GPS watches don't they have a good idea? - but Coogan is a bit old school) then it totaled 10km (or did Valby do 12km?) in 30.50. Not sure what the rest between sets was? So no surprise that Valby led the later reps as that is fast for even Mclean. 8-10 x 1km might have been different for others, like Paladino.

Hoping someone like Chloe Thomas (UConn) can join the group next year, as she will be a 5k/10k runner to help Valby, and isn't a direct competitor for teams as she is Canadian. Is Staehli still on the team? Maybe someone like McCabe as well (Steeple) - although I wonder if she will stay with Cleary at West Virginia to train.

The thing that I saw that was interesting was to see PV use her natural arm swing. I haven't watched many videos of her except racing on the track and she had a completely different forced arm swing.

I don’t see anything cringy. Maybe you need to get rid of that green eyed monster haunting you

Looking at it on the map, it's 0.65 miles, so just shy of 1,050 meters, for those of you trying to sleuth pace (splits are in the video). Guessing two minutes between sets, as well as between reps. At 3:51 in the video, it shows the women's workout as three sets, but Valby did at least one more set.

Also, the comment about the gap, above, isn't exactly right. Valby was parked, so to speak, at the back of the pack or in the middle, for a fair amount of time. But at some point, she moves to the front, and then goes off the front. Most likely because a) the video is about Parker Valby, and b) she's freaking strong at a workout like this, which everyone involved recognized.
