Parker Valby always running every race like its the last race she'll ever do.
Tuohy is paces herself to peak on the race that actually matters. That's not how she was as a runner, before she would drop everyone from the gun but Coach Henes has done a good job of training her, having different ways to win.
It has now been proven that no one trains harder than Valby, her VO2 is off the charts but Tuohy is a different beast on her own despite the more traditional training (just pure running) under her belt. Tuohy grew up as a champion and thrives under pressure. She loves winning, national championships. Its all that matters to her.
Why I believe Tuohy will still win the national title is because .... when Tuohy loses, she never loses the same way again.
Parker Valby is at her peak, but Tuohy just getting started in this season.
