Not running every day is not the same as not training really hard every day doing other forms of cross training. Valby works out like crazy. That is what it takes.
I had a foot stress fracture going into a track season and the aqua jogger made my shins super strong and probably made me better. Obviously she is an amazing athlete. Being able to compete is so important but she has to be really mentally strong.
She recently blew up the record for the 5k.
Sub 15mins is just awesome.
You Go Girl !!!
Less the better but plenty of development potential, like heaps,....but most important steady development and no injuries.
Intense exercising twice a week is a wery smart way to exercise
So fine it blows my mind, it's hectic.
Hanging with Touhy after breaking a foot and only being back to training for a few weeks AS A FRESHMAN. Impressive.
Touhy didn’t even make the finals as a freshman.
Valby is a sophomore. Red shirt freshman, second year.
@@coco_bold Negative. He was right to begin with. Tuohy has been nationally famous for six or seven years. She shattered national records in high school and was the number one recruit going into college.
Parker Valby has been unknown except maybe in Florida.
And the garbage comments here that somehow exercising hard is just as good as running is stupid. There is no substitute for running other than running. There are zero world class distance runners today or ever that trained by NOT running. It’s just ridiculous to even read. So yes Parker Valby’s accomplishment is amazing and indicative of tremendous talent.
And as further proof, last week, four months after this race she won the SEC Cross Country Championship, shattering the corse record by more than 30 seconds and defeating Mercy Chelangat by nearly ten seconds. Mercy was going for her third SEC championship in a row and the previous course record holder and got a huge PR in the race. When the course record holder smashes her own record by twenty seconds and still loses by ten, that shows you Parker really is a special talent.
She ran a 6K hilly course at the same pace Touhy won this national 5K track title.
But then again, maybe Touhy wasn’t pushing as hard as she could have.
so so cute... god bless her... you know? i watch cross-country field & track world-wide... in fact, i am thinking about buying & owning a team in Portugal.. but i will tell ya all this... our country here in America has some of the cutest runners god bless em.... look at this little giggle-bunny... what a little angel.... aaawweee.... aaawwee.... aawwwee.... like a little shoe box of baby-bunny rabbits i mean to say. such a doll god-bless her.
she rocks, and i think the ncaa xc will be really competitive this year.
Headline is kinda misleading
True. ".. runs only.." would have been more appropriate. Basic English. C'mon Flo Track!
welcome to flotrack
Some of the guys asking the questions are stuttering and can't seem to get the words out, she must be quite a stunner in person.
😂😂
This girl is diamonds
I wish I could run twice a week and be an all American 😂
its probably a whole different ballgame for womens distance collegiate running. imagine doing that on the men's side of collegiate running, you wouldn't even make it in the top 200 in the NCAA's 😂😂
@@danspeakz1130 why would it be any different with the women?
@@danspeakz1130 average 2 brain cell comment
She's a woman competing against other high level women, why are you guys salty... I bet if she's a talented guy, this would still be her fate in the men's category. Just be happy for some talents, it's not like she didn't work hard doing cross training to prepare for this.
@@dreswan1 I'm sure both sides are competitive but its just the amount of mileage being put in is more greater for men than women since they run different distances during cross country and sometimes track. A cross country and men's track team train and race at more faster paces than the women's cross country and track team. But in a sense you are right, running only twice a week for any side isn't gonna cut it but this collegiate girl is a rare case. She did say she has done a lot more cross training than running which does make you recover faster and become a better runner.
Everyone is different. She has some incredible genetics to pull off what she has. It’s a shame that foot injuries take away incredible athletes. Rafa Nadal is literally playing with a dead foot and he doesn’t care about the consequences.
just say yes... yes.... and no... no... and give us that cute as a button smile god bless her.... aawwee
#thenotoriousPSV
Very misleading headline...she trains 7 days a week....
this guy is shitting his pants when he's talking to her he's so nervous. (I'd be doing the same thing !!!) shes so bad
Tf😂😂
I know it's almost darn-near impossible to take your eyes away from cute as a button little-ol Parker... but if you watch the background you will see my NC-State ladies photo-bombing the background.... that little ol starliper & her sidekicks i meant to say.... er? i mean the wolfpack gang sneaks behind her i mean
She lost... this is gonna be a great rivalry.
Because it makes no sense to run all the damn time smh
Most runners are overtrained
