realistically she's probably in her head. There's no reason the training she initially flourished under would magically stop working and/or keep her perpetually injured. I hope she gets back to full running capacity soon -- she's always been a fun runner to watch and great talent.
What happened? People that she used to dominate in college are now far faster than her.
She won a lot of races, but she really wasn't dominant. She didn't win CC or any outdoor track championships her senior season. She peaked early and it appears she hit her ceiling at about 15 minutes. There's no shame in that. Perhaps she will regroup and improve again. Every athlete in every sport has bad patches. Maybe she's having one now.
Oh joy. Another bunch of drivel about physically peaking at 20. She started struggling in outdoors in '23. But she was breaking records. There is no ceiling with enough red cells. That's the sport.

Lol. It's fun watching you fall apart in front of our eyes.
Tuohy is proof that training too hard in high school and college 100% hurts your long term potential.
A lot of morons here think training extremely hard at a young age is SMART because you should aim to hit your genetic limit at as young of an age as possible.
But your genetic limit is higher at 28 than at 21 or 16. And overtraining at a young age causes physical burnout, mental burnout, higher risk of injuries and massive stagnation in your times.

most mid distance and long distance world records are set by people in their early and mid 20s.
everyone has their own ceiling and they hit it at different ages, but human peak athletic performance doesn't come in the late 20s. if you're smart about things, you can extend your peak to that age, but it occurs much earlier.

Dude, Brazier just ran a PR at age 28 after 5 straight years of being injured. That discredits your ENTIRE argument.
new yorker here, and I absolutely have loved following Tuohy's running career. But she's cooked. So sad for her. and obviously she needs to leave Henes if there's any chance whatsoever of taking a leap.
Huh? I have not predicted anything regarding Tuohy. And did not expect anything. But it is drivel that she suddenly physically peaked while other runners in their mid to late 20s and older supposedly had a natural second surge of development. That's called epo. Lol.
The question is why. Of course we all know the probable answer. It comes COD. But stating the obvious aside, that does not explain Tuohy's regression. That is a separate issue.

she didn't run indoors or outdoors her senior season. She graduated in december of her 4th year after getting 5th in xc. Her final indoors season was by far her best and dominant stretch in college and a level she is still trying to get back to (8:35 3k).
I dont know why people would assume she's hit a ceiling. Josette Andrews just knocked 20 second off her PB at age 29
