15:30 first 5K with a pacer and then 15:20 second 5K solo, including the extra distance she ran while passing other runners on the curves. Amazing performance.
The pacers slowed her down but helped her preserve energy for later. A first 5k at 15.20 next time and an equal or faster second 5k will qualify her for the olympics. She can go faster but must preserve those legs ankles and knees to avoid injury for gradual improvement over just going all out as this is a long term racing endeavor, not just one race.🤔🥰
@@russs3001 they finally realize they have the same rights to reach their best time as well...they are running for themselves not the faster runner.. She's not helping them go faster why should they help her by running slower ?
Parker never ceases to amaze! I wish I understood more about how she trains. And Jenna Hutchins broke a Katelyn Tuohy record her senior year of high school so it’s exciting to see her continue succeeding. It’s a race for records or second.
Parker ran a great race and finished the race in strong, dominant fashion. Setting another NCAA record in the 10,000m proves that Valby is the best ever in the NCAA. Parker is impressive and has developed into a strong runner.
Parker is proving she is a generational talent by smashing another NCAA record. Destroyed a solid 14-year-old 10k record by 27.64 seconds in her first race at that distance!
I hope folks realize how ridiculous this is. Of course she has distance experience, but in her first race at 10k she's breaking the NCAA record and 11th all time. Parker is on a different planet right now.
The US have a good group of young girls coming through right now, there's a young girl breaking Katelyn Tuohy's high school 5k records called Elizabeth Leachman. Valby and Tuohy makes this is a great time for female middle distance runners.
Parker is not getting the spotlight she deserves. How many other athlete's smash a 10-year-old NCAA record the first time they compete in an event? Unbelievable! And a top 11 time history? Unreal!!
I was a freshman in college. The previous year I had run about 25 miles a week and ran a 4:56 mile and a 16:57 5k. The next year, I had plantar fasciitis pretty bad and ended up running the last 4 weeks at about 10 miles a week, biked about 15 miles a week and worked out on the elliptical for about 30-40 minutes a day 6 days a week with a day off, and ended up running a 25:59 8k and a 14:50 5k. You can train better than just running, running, running.
Sorry, man, but you numbers look suspicious. No way in hell you could run under 15 minutes by just doing what you've described - by elite's stanndards you were just chilling and yet managed to run a sub 15 min 5 k. If it is true why aren't you an olympian?
@@ithinkthereforeitalk935 training on the machine isn't necessarily chilling. There is an instance of a world class cyclist who got hired to one of the top teams after they verified his numbers from stationary indoor training. He's a solid worker on that team. The benefit of the indoor trainer (for running) is working the cardio system while avoiding the pounding. It allows for more hours total training time.
Parker's upper body strength is incredible. You need that for this pace over 10k. Also notice her breathing is calm, smooth and relaxed. She looked hugely PO'ed at the end of this race - perhaps because the lapped runners did not pull aside which in fairness usually is protocol and could have gifted her an extra 5 seconds. I pray her ego will stay checked and keeps a happy relationship with her fans and fellow runners.
No it was twofold i think, she missed the Olympic standard by 10 seconds. I don't think she was mad at the slower runners who earned their place there and also try to get their best time. Which they cannot get if they cater to her record attempt. All is fair in racing you are allowed to keep the inside lane if someone laps you it is their duty to go around. If you want you can let them pass and slow your numbers down to help them but its not the rules so we should not be mad at them for going for their best time as well. I think her team miscalculated how fast she was and could have paved her 10 seconds faster. 10 seconds faster on the first half of the races would have made the olympic standard. they miscalculated. The slower runners would not make up ten seconds. Hopefully she gets another chance with a faster pacer to take ten seconds off this time. She can obviously do it without trying hard.
I watched a cross country race that was 3 miles, not 3.1. My friend finished first by a lean at the line. She won by a 10th of a second. Nobody knew who won for a while. It was so exciting to see! It was the Woodbridge invitational on September 16, 2023 and is worth watching. Sadie Engelhardt finished 3rd! The winners were a Junior and a sophomore. That same friend ran faster than the previous national record for indoor 2 miles this winter at Nike indoor nationals, in second place to the sophomore runner who she beat in September. Watching Elite high school runners is a blast as well.
I ran cross country and track events in high school and college. I would have waved Parker Valby bye-bye as she sailed by me. This is an amazing feat and congratulations!
She has finally figured out how to not slowdown at the end, and how to finish strong. Thanks to hard work, specialized training, , great competition from Tuohy and others, her coaches, teammates, and fans for pushing her. Now to avoid over stressing her body avoiding injury and continual small improvements over the next few years and we will have another great talent in middle distance american racing.
my speculation would be that competition from Touhy and others didn't have much to do with her progression. The factor which is way, way, way more significant is the program her coached devised for her to stay injury free. If only Mary Decker had that level of forward thinking influence in her life (she was always injured).
@@S0ulinth3machin3 I think losing so much to tuohy by like 2 seconds after leading the whole race her teammates coaches and training all had a role. I know I would want to beat the one causing me to come in second because i lack of late continued speed and kick etc. She has figured out how to get faster at the end run tangents get the inside lane pace herself run from behind and with pacers and she has an extremely high ceiling to improve she has not peaked yet.
She's the pin up girl of American distance. But also one very tough young woman. Drone shots are another angle, great!...that field is elite lets not forget.
I guess that it’s been so many years since I ran freshman & sophomore track that I don’t remember, but, I don’t remember having a crowd of onlookers out on the track during an event. Gives me the heebee jeebees. Perfectly good bleachers are empty.
I can’t imagine with this video quality, Flosports is going to do diamond league events. A lot of improvement to the product offering has to happen. And I’m one who constantly defends your hosts and content irregularities. I hope your higher ups see the intermediate quality of your broadcasts. You are asking $30/month or $150 per year for a subscription. For that, you need to be better than NBC’s coverage on Peacock ($7/momth) at the minimum. We fans will not sign up for that. Keep in mind we the fans are also runners 99% of the time. We have options, ultra running is growing and shoe brands and others are beginning to feature their teams with quality content. Many of us travel extensively to follow our sport with our families. I really am not certain if your higher ups at Flosports really understand that the fans are on the Athletes side and we see the work they put in. We don’t see what you do except to exploit runners and the fans desire to see their athletes. Keep messing us about and you will see your viewership tank. I believe i speak for my entire running group of 15 runners (8 women/7 men) from 17 yo - 55yo. Try and listen to the audience concerns. When Athletes start boycotting your interviews perhaps you will listen to these concerns.
I agree $29.99/mo is insane for T&F content. But ppl seem to think FlowTrack jacked up their prices BECAUSE of the new Diamond League contract. Guys, that's not the case. Flowtrack has been charging $30 for monthy subs and $150 for annual subs since 2017! It's been this way for a LONG TIME with threads on LR complaining about the prices.
Wonder which Pro training group she'll end up joining?! Looking forward to how much quicker she can run competing against the likes of Monson, Cranny, Schweizer, Kelati, Henes & Rogers!
@@T1MB05L1C3 When you have a talent like hers under your guidance you get flexible in a hurry! I'd say it will be the Bowerman Track Club she may end up going to
The Olympic Standard Time has dropped dramatically since 2020, (2021). 2020 = 31:25.00 2024 = 30:40.00. Valby's race would have beaten Emily Sisson's '21 Trials win by 13 seconds, but here still fails to qualify?
Once Valby is injured free she's a smashing machine!! Great rythm slaying those laps, which's hard to do with first try. Let's hope nothing major a bothering her...
Parker's time: 1,850 seconds. Second place: 1,972 seconds (6.6% more). Amazing, and Jenna Hutchins is an excellent runner. I'm also reminded to avoid tightening my shoes too much when I race anything over a 5k.
I agree she didn’t look happy at the finish. Maybe she was just hurting. Maybe she was upset that she just missed Olympic standard by 10 secs (30:40)??
add in hoping pacer stayed longer, and that lap traffic didnt move out to lane 2. Could you imagine having to be at the start line and ask everyone, so hey when im lapping all of you could you please move out? Race coordinators should have helped that situation.
Yeah I wonder if it was a bit of frustration related to pacer? Before the pacer stepped off, it looked to me like Parker was having to hold back to hang in behind. It looked like she wanted to be going faster. There seemed to be an acceleration after pacer stepped off. No shame to the pacer here at all. Obv all doing their best and people have off days. She looked like she was hurting.
I think something was bothering her... like injury/pain. She immediately sat down, shaking her head, and threw her spikes off. Given her injury history, I'm suspicious the spikes caused some foot and/or lower leg issues over the course of a 10,000m race.
@@87LD87 100% - a 1530 5k is still no joke even if you are in top shape. Parker seemed frustrated when she was actually running as well when solo and passing people. she kept putting in surges to pass before the curves and a few times used a bit of a slingshot move to pass. or maybe im crazy and read into it too much.
It's not just a result, it's beautiful. It's when talent and hard work and determination come together. This is something the entire nation should be proud of.
Man, that was VERY impressive. Valby is simply killing it right now. I think by summer she could go sub 14:40 for 5k. I'd love to see what she could do in a good 1,500m right now, too... Where is Katelyn Tuohy?
she could already go sub 14:40 with competition since she ran 14:52 by herself (and having to pass lapped competitors on the outside). As for Touhy - they're not on the same level anymore, don't compare them, you're not doing Touhy any favors. Besides turning pro, Touhy is injured and Valby won't have competition from any collegiate competition. The only place for her to go (for real compoetition) are open races and the Olympic Trials.
My Parker is such a shield-maiden, how on gods green earth can you overlook her athleticism , and my Jenna from BYU is a legend in the sport as well.... but with that being said... i love every lady & every team dearly, they are all worth their weight in gold because in my opinion this is the best sport on earth.... ha ha.... this is the 3rd time i watched this full race,,,, EPIC
Never watched a 10k before. Sad to see that there's no celebration of her achievement at the end of her race, mc, fellow team members and coaches are silent. Self motivated athletes are one of a kind.
As i said earlier she was PO'ed the other runners did not make way. I have seen it done before when lapped. Time is on Parker's side. She needs to avoid coming off as a drama queen. Her interviews are epic fun and cheerful. Please stay that way Valby!
I don't think she is one to like the limelight. She loves the success she is having but is not the type to spend time in front of the media. She wants to enjoy the sport and being a college student.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 As I said, when a runner breaks 31:00 that means his/her pace goes under 5:00 per mile for 6.2 miles. It's not "just a number." If anything is arbitrary it's the Olympic standard that changes from year to year. I think you missed the point.
That was some awesome running! Thank you for sharing that. Try plyrometrics for strength like Rudisha did. He is the current world record holder in the 800 meters.
She's so strong bc she does hours of cross-training a week (which is usually solo look in the mirror kinda stuff). So she's trained her mind to be mentally tough when running out in front on her own. She's like Steph Curry she's changed the game.
New running science is telling sprinters only do a few max efforts a week and forget strength training. Now we have middle distance runners opting for low impact cross training. Makes sense to me.
@@donnybrooklads when I was sprinting, in the 80s in college, it seems like we did everything wrong. Where's a good place to read about the current science of running?
Easily 10 seconds lost by lapping others twice. And she could have maybe cut 5 seconds off first and second half because of that lapping. So i predict Valby will get 30.29 against faster pros in the olympics probably fifth to tenth place or so depending on a fast race if slow then she could get top 5 as she gets faster as it goes in a slower race.
Let her develop naturally or she will get injured her bones are still growing. Kaitlyn Tuohy and Balby had to come back from injuries. Just imagine if Leachman stays injury free through high school and ncaa? .she would smash every sing me 3. 5. 6 10 k record ever and be a legit contender to the Africans for Olympic Gold, assuming she keeps improving as well. But push her too much too early, and one ankle or knee ot foot injury could harm that for good. Long term.is key.
At 2:50/km, or 15s/km faster, or 150s faster over 10km, kipchoge would have lapped her almost twice (she runs 1:17 per lap), with enough stamina to do it another 3 times with change, whilst running on the streets of Berlin and not a perfectly paved track. Talk about levels of performance….
Valby has not peaked yet or has high attitude training yet just wait about two years. Most pro races are much slower than the records they slow it down and rely on their kicks position team blocking trapping timing etc.
If she makes the Olympics in Paris - what an experience! She can swim so post Paris if she can get the team around her then she has a swim background so if she wants a medal at an Olympics then; Triathlon LA 2028?
I’m pretty sure they knew she was going to win. Most runners are running against themselves, trying to improve their own time . Having a group of people running with you just makes you want to run faster.
Her first attempt at this distance and she broke the collegiate record by 28 seconds! In other words she would have beaten the record holder by nearly half a lap. And that previous record was so fast it’s been the collegiate record since Parker was a 2nd grader back in 2010.
Parker Valby blazes trails with every stride, Er? uh? i mean? She transforms the track into her canvas of conquest i meant to say, each of her steps paint an epic saga of speed and endurance.... i always admire a woman with a unique stride as well.... a lot of famous runners in this sport have a unique stride... parker is no acceptation she has a power-horse style like a Valkyries on a mission,.
Great race by Valby. I would expect this to eventually be broken though in the coming years. A SOPHOMORE in HS (Elizabeth Leachman) recently ran 15:25 for 5k. Give Leachman 7 more years to train to reach Valby's age, and I'd fully expect her to run faster than 30:50 for the 10k.
It doesn't look like people realize what is happening here. Maybe record setting is old hat now and that's a damned shame because it leads to questions. They expected it. Ah crap and this is on FloTrack. Do not pay them for the subs. Boycott them.
Come on, lapped runners gotta be alerted so they can move out, I wonder if that was a source of frustration after the race. She did not look happy about something for sure
15:30 first 5K with a pacer and then 15:20 second 5K solo, including the extra distance she ran while passing other runners on the curves. Amazing performance.
Negative split is crazyy
It used to be the lapped runners would move out of the way, especially when a record was to be broken. :/
Good first try? Lol
The pacers slowed her down but helped her preserve energy for later.
A first 5k at 15.20 next time and an equal or faster second 5k will qualify her for the olympics.
She can go faster but must preserve those legs ankles and knees to avoid injury for gradual improvement over just going all out as this is a long term racing endeavor, not just one race.🤔🥰

Katelyn is afraid of Parker and turned pro,
she could already go sub 14:40 with competition since she ran 14:52 by herself (and having to pass lapped competitors on the outside). As for Touhy - they're not on the same level anymore, don't compare them, you're not doing Touhy any favors. Besides turning pro, Touhy is injured and Valby won't have competition from any collegiate competition. The only place for her to go (for real compoetition) are open races and the Olympic Trials.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 when you say "open races" do you mean races that are open to the pubic (everyone)?
"Callie looked ready to get off the track too." Yes she did. Lol at Parker zipping away from her 2:22:00 marathon pacer at the half way.
Amazing....
Laps the top athletes in the field with half the race still ahead. Unreal.
My Parker is such a shield-maiden, how on gods green earth can you overlook her athleticism , and my Jenna from BYU is a legend in the sport as well.... but with that being said... i love every lady & every team dearly, they are all worth their weight in gold because in my opinion this is the best sport on earth.... ha ha.... this is the 3rd time i watched this full race,,,, EPIC
First time I saw Parker run I knew she was special. Her form is perfect. This girl is a natural.
Absolutely. Her stride is not the longest but is powerful and upper body and hip strength is incredible.
kudos to the young lady pacer.......very good runner in her own right
Even more impressive considering she had no one to push her at all. Can’t wait to see her run against top competition. Sky’s the limit.
these cameras angles are insane
Never watched a 10k before. Sad to see that there's no celebration of her achievement at the end of her race, mc, fellow team members and coaches are silent. Self motivated athletes are one of a kind.
it's because she was pissed at not making the Olympic qualifying standard (30:40).
Jenna and Parker way to go😊❤
Clearly she was hard on herself for not making the 30:40 standard. Get the feeling though her times are set to tumble
As i said earlier she was PO'ed the other runners did not make way. I have seen it done before when lapped. Time is on Parker's side. She needs to avoid coming off as a drama queen. Her interviews are epic fun and cheerful. Please stay that way Valby!
I don't think she is one to like the limelight. She loves the success she is having but is not the type to spend time in front of the media. She wants to enjoy the sport and being a college student.
Or she was just looking to break 31:00. That's the point where average pace is under 5.0 minutes per mile.
@@CCat52 30:40 means something, 31:00 does not. 30:40 is the Olympic qualifying standard. 31:00 is just a number.
@@S0ulinth3machin3 As I said, when a runner breaks 31:00 that means his/her pace goes under 5:00 per mile for 6.2 miles. It's not "just a number." If anything is arbitrary it's the Olympic standard that changes from year to year. I think you missed the point.
That was some awesome running! Thank you for sharing that. Try plyrometrics for strength like Rudisha did. He is the current world record holder in the 800 meters.
Parker is amazing🎉💫. Go Gators🐊🎈
Why is the sound turned off???
Muito boa essa garota ❤
Running 10k on her toeballs, that`s strong running Parker! Has gaines some more muscles too
Holy cow, amazing
My God that Parker Valby is quite the impressive 😳, Athletic display 👏 😊
Why is it that when I see Parker run, it reminds me of Secretariat at the Belmont.
She's so strong bc she does hours of cross-training a week (which is usually solo look in the mirror kinda stuff). So she's trained her mind to be mentally tough when running out in front on her own. She's like Steph Curry she's changed the game.
New running science is telling sprinters only do a few max efforts a week and forget strength training. Now we have middle distance runners opting for low impact cross training. Makes sense to me.
@@donnybrooklads when I was sprinting, in the 80s in college, it seems like we did everything wrong. Where's a good place to read about the current science of running?
She is an awesome girl who rocks !!!
I'm almost 13 minutes into the race and I'm thinking about how in a post-race interview she's probably going to say "honestly, ...." like 10 times.
Honestly I m.not going to.lie I dont know really😮😊
Quite often the V in Valby stands for Victory! Looks like there is no wasted energy with her stride~
What a machine
Easily 10 seconds lost by lapping others twice.
And she could have maybe cut 5 seconds off first and second half because of that lapping.
So i predict Valby will get 30.29 against faster pros in the olympics probably fifth to tenth place or so depending on a fast race if slow then she could get top 5 as she gets faster as it goes in a slower race.
Fantastic run. Why don't lapped runners move out to lane 2 any more?
She is a strong runner!
Leachman should be running with elite collegiate and pro. runners.
Her record 5K was with college women.....she whooped them all!
Let her develop naturally or she will get injured her bones are still growing.
Kaitlyn Tuohy and Balby had to come back from injuries.
Just imagine if Leachman stays injury free through high school and ncaa?
.she would smash every sing me 3. 5. 6 10 k record ever and be a legit contender to the Africans for Olympic Gold, assuming she keeps improving as well.
But push her too much too early, and one ankle or knee ot foot injury could harm that for good.
Long term.is key.
VALBYMANIA , it's real. 💗
Amazing young lady ! I hope she is in the Olympics'
“She is moving like a TREMENDOUS MACHINE!”
Amazing
Wow...31 mins for 10K. It would take me about 3 weeks to run that far.
Bravo ❤🎉
WOW!!
At 2:50/km, or 15s/km faster, or 150s faster over 10km, kipchoge would have lapped her almost twice (she runs 1:17 per lap), with enough stamina to do it another 3 times with change, whilst running on the streets of Berlin and not a perfectly paved track. Talk about levels of performance….
Valby has not peaked yet or has high attitude training yet just wait about two years.
Most pro races are much slower than the records they slow it down and rely on their kicks position team blocking trapping timing etc.
Parker is my hero.
Go Parker!!
If she makes the Olympics in Paris - what an experience! She can swim so post Paris if she can get the team around her then she has a swim background so if she wants a medal at an Olympics then; Triathlon LA 2028?
insane !!!
How does she keep doing it??!!
Well done. Still some way to go to get near the world record, but she's headed in the right direction.
Imagine breaking the NCAA record on your first attempt. I feel bad for her competition. They don't stand a chance
you are mean
@@dr.mohamedaitnouh4501mean how? They literally didn’t stand a chance
I’m pretty sure they knew she was going to win. Most runners are running against themselves, trying to improve their own time . Having a group of people running with you just makes you want to run faster.
Her first attempt at this distance and she broke the collegiate record by 28 seconds! In other words she would have beaten the record holder by nearly half a lap. And that previous record was so fast it’s been the collegiate record since Parker was a 2nd grader back in 2010.
🙄 We don't have to imagine it.
We just watched it happen. 🤷♂
Parker: "Ok ill try a 10k." Breaks NCAA Record. Looks mad afterwards for missing the Olympic Qualifying time by 10 seconds. lol
Parker Valby blazes trails with every stride, Er? uh? i mean? She transforms the track into her canvas of conquest i meant to say, each of her steps paint an epic saga of speed and endurance.... i always admire a woman with a unique stride as well.... a lot of famous runners in this sport have a unique stride... parker is no acceptation she has a power-horse style like a Valkyries on a mission,.
Parker is the goat of long distance running she’s amazing
She looks so solid and strong.....
Great race by Valby. I would expect this to eventually be broken though in the coming years. A SOPHOMORE in HS (Elizabeth Leachman) recently ran 15:25 for 5k. Give Leachman 7 more years to train to reach Valby's age, and I'd fully expect her to run faster than 30:50 for the 10k.
Orobably.next tear if injury free she must be careful her bones are still growing.
She is so good, and so efficient. She is like a human-cyborg.
Congratulations to her!
It doesn't look like people realize what is happening here. Maybe record setting is old hat now and that's a damned shame because it leads to questions. They expected it. Ah crap and this is on FloTrack. Do not pay them for the subs. Boycott them.
Can you elaborate further? What are you getting on with?
Come on, lapped runners gotta be alerted so they can move out, I wonder if that was a source of frustration after the race. She did not look happy about something for sure
Well done Parker
Valby's stride is really asymmetrical here.
Park has become a symbol of Florida. If the state represents the sunrise, Park represents the sunrise of life
What a 10.1K time. she could definitely get the Olympic standard if she doesn't have to go the extra distance
Wow ！she is genius. Can beat pro runner like a kateln Tuohy
