Katelyn Tuohy NATIONAL RECORD 5000m 15:37

I ran track and X country in HS; we won our 4A state and had some really good runners.  This girl would've blown our best runner out of the water... and she's a sophmore!!!  She's likely a future olympian, possibly champion in 5k 10k where it has been dominated by Ethiopians.  She's got to make up some time for the WR of 14:11.15, but again, she's only 15.

Just came from a run. 

After 1000m of light jogging my heart rate is hitting 180bpm and I have to stop so I don't have a heart attack.

What the...it's 1000m to your kitchen? At least I hope you enjoy those chips fully :)

This seems so incredible, that a body can hold that speed for 15m without colapsing. Then I check up on the women's 5k record and it's 14:11.15. Geezus. The pace that it takes to get to that. Then you check the men's 5k record and it's 12:37.35  and... there are just no words. A race between this lass and that winner and she would seem slow!

Some freaking humans are just amazing.
