This is like Live for me in France. I am reading that This young lady ran the night before ,and won, at 5000 meters. How is this possible ? Also, how is it possible that such races are so wrongly scheduled ???
My Parker is such a doll-faced champion i meant to say.... god bless her, but with that being said.... all these women are epic athletes & my BYU cougs are no joke baby-doll.... this race in particular is LOADED with champions
Interesting form Parker has. Usually for races under 5k coaches will advise to lean forward but Parker has such strong upper body strength her torso is straight with forward arm motion in perfect unison with her great stride.
It’s interesting that like Keely Hodgkinson, Parker has a background in competitive swimming. They both seem to have retained that upper body strength/endurance…
Swimming is a lot more difficult of a workout IMO, so once swimmers get on land, they crush it. In middle school, I had a swimmer friend who hadn't done a single track workout, and she entered a youth mile track race and ran just over 6 min.
Parker is so sharp mentally it's not surprising she is so great at distance running. I loved the interview and you hear her saying goodbye to the narrator in between the interviewer and the camera shutting off. "Bye Dwight". 😆😆😆
Taylor Roe gets tripped...& Track n field still can't find good announcers to call it. Later saying "she stepped off the track' but not why. I think we all know why Tuohy turned pro...Parker is SMOKIN'!
@@TimMarshall-er9qkValby is right there with Tuohy at 3000m. Tuohy is a better 1500/Miler while Valby is currently a better 5000m runner. As of late, Valby has been better than Tuohy in head-to-head competition. Of course, Valby was born in Pennsylvania and raised elsewhere.
Anyone ready for Elizabeth Leachman? Boerne Champion, TX HS sophomore just broke the HS record for 5k beating a collegiate field: 15:28 indoors & 15:25.37 or so outdoors.
Different kind of oxygen expenditure. In the maximum muscle effort of a sprint, your body goes into oxygen depletion and therefore you get winded. These elite distance athletes are not going into oxygen depletion to be able to sustain that pace for that time. If they were, they would black out. I did sprints and cross country in college, although neither very well. ;)
