Is Tuohy update?

She's entered for the 5000 at the Adrian Martinez Classic on 13th June. Elle Purrier has also been announced for this race. The meeting is usually streamed live.

She has states this weekend as well.

She ran 4:25 at the NYS Section I meet on Saturday.

The race was close until the gun went off, then not so much.

I am not sure what happened in this race but it looked like she went for a fast time (thru 800 in 2:16) and then had nothing left and finished in 4:25. And she appeared tired after she finished. No interviews after the race. A bad day? Am I reading something that was not there?

She ran 2:11 and 2:12 this season, ran 4:25 at sectionals as well. Could be exhausted from all the racing from indoor.

It will be streamed live here: https://baystaterunning.com/article/adrian-martinez-meet

You should be her coach. The world would be a better place.

In both her 3000 and 1500 last weekend she went out super hard and continued to slow down the rest of the way. I'm curious if this was deliberate (i.e. practice getting out hard, secure the win early, then just cruise) or if it was just her usual poor pacing.

Yea, it's always good to practice slowing down in races. That will get you far.

I'm thinking she is too talented for her HS coach, she has been all over the place this year, does not appear to be a real plan. Yes, she has run very fast and won pretty much everything, once in a generation talent will do that, but thinking the coach got lucky and does not know what to do now.

Umm. That would mean she split 2:16/2:09. Looks like she ran a faster second half.

Umm, it was a 1500, so did not run faster, 2:16 for 800, 2:09 for 700.

Tony Tuohy still smashing it up. 17 mins in the Last Friday 5k last week. 88% age graded so almost World Class level.

They're not. Big difference between lean and "muscular."

Touche. It just seems weird that her legs never look accordingly lean.

Why do you assume her coach is a moran? There are books about training, articles on line and he can ask for advice from any HS or college coach in the country. Rather than access all these resources he's just going pull a training program out his a**? In the SI article about Touhy, he said he took the responsibility of coaching such a generational talent very seriously.

Because these people always assume that good high school runners have bad coaches. Just look at Mary Cain; people criticize the Bronxville coach constantly for "ruining" her, when in reality he did an incredible job with her, and is an incredible coach (just look at their 4x8 times from the last 20 years if you need more proof of it). The same thing is happening with Tuohy; the North Rockland coach is a very good coach who has had a lot of athletes run fast times and improve well under him, yet people still believe that he is somehow at fault if things don't pan out for her.
