Threshold isn't supposed to be hard

Being just shy of 100 pounds helps with distance running.

Jawan T but I’m 5’9 and if I’m 100 pounds imma like die

5:35 is an "easy" pace for her.

Jawan T - I’m 110 lbs and I can’t get a mile under 8:30 minutes so

Is she really small?

Jawan T she’s about 5’4

@@nilah4399 She can outrun me but I can beat her in a fight. I'm 6'2 215 pounds.

@@jawant6039 but are you the best fighter in the U.S? That's some weird shit to say bro like for real think about what you actually just said smh.

@@jawant6039 weird flex but ok.

Ikr, the pressure doesn't help at all.

Funny me too 😃

if you wanna be fast you gotta really push yourself.. you gotta get out of that comfort zone if u wanna improve

@@pur1670 motivational words

@@pur1670 For average people, doing 5:30 mile repeats are very difficult and don't look like you are just jogging. I'm a guy who's 8 inches taller than her, and definitely in good shape weighing no more than 180 at 12% body fat and I'm finding that I have to give it everything I have just to do 4 mile repeats staying below a 5:45, and being completely winded afterwards. I do lift weights many times a week until this lockdown and run at least 5-10 miles a week too, but she's simply on a different level than the rest of us. I feel like in order to get to her lvl, you have to spend many hours each day on running and make it an obsession instead of just another form of cardio.

just smiling away going 5:25 good lord

6:50 is just shitty....don't compare yourself to an elite athlete

@@Kevinschart - Classy, very classy.

@Plainsman whatever... if you're running 7 minute miles in races, it means you're not ready to compete. that's like starting for the basketball team and you can't even make a layup. her coach didn't tell her the truth so I'll do it for him/her.

Kevin Schart you’ve missed her extremely clear point asshole. She’s complimenting her... 🤦🏽‍♂️

Kevin Schart damn bruh it’s high school track it ain’t that deep

@Sobru winning is tough, what more winning it 3 times shes the goat.

High mountain, another even higher. That’s life. Now, Touhy is a target or goal to reach or pass. It’s tough.

Kind of weird how she hits 5:25 at 5:25 in the vid

Trey Heller yooo

Emotional Chromosome Good stuff!

Great job!!!!!

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR BRO! I ran an 8:30 over the summer I'm going 6:45 now! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :)

Good job improving I was there 2 months ago now I’m down to 6:15! Keep running and improving

I would not be to excited about a 7:30 mile

Dennis Heaton she’s not old enough to be in the 2020 Olympics

@@Dangmovies Why not? Swimmers as young as 15 go (Michael Phelps in Sydney, Katie Ledecky in London), why would Track be different?

Though she's old enough to compete at the 2020 Olympics the top US women run the 5k in around 14:40 -14:50, so she would not be ready by then. BUT...she is the future so watchout Paris in 2024.

She looks like a toddler compared to the other athletes lol

2020 Olympics lol..

Average high school track session, coach would want us to do 200m repeats in 33 seconds and we all just stayed at 28 seconds

lucaboden My coach always talks about being consistent!

for katelyn she only knows fast but consistently fast. you only get faster by running faster

@@timwelch3297 That's only part of the equation. Workouts/speework use up your fitness. You only get faster through rest and recovery.

SLOW DOWN JEEZE

I mean, if you're competitive, tempo runs are regularly done at that pace. Not to take away from here though. She's very fast

It is nothing for her. Her record is 4:33 for the mile. So getting 5:30 is literally a minute slower.

I am proud of my 1030 mile 😂

I was proud of my 8:20 I wanna cry

Avery Long you should be that’s amazing better than a lot of people

@@averylong4717 I'm sorry the world has no place for normal people.

Don't worry guys, I ran a 8:30 mile during the summer now I'm running a 6:45 and I can keep a sub 7:50 min/mile pace for the 5k. Don't compare me to her though lmao I'm just saying we slower runners can be good too so don't worry!

Do you go to Manlius?

Where do u go

For me it's really therapeutic. I once had the same mindset but I realized how destressing it can be

it's the purest form of exercise. Just need a decent pair of shoes and the world becomes your playground. Plus runner's high, shin splints, lactic acid cramps remind me that I'm alive in a masochistic way. Running also requires high discipline and builds discipline which is what society desperately needs more of.

i used to run in xc and i think it’s cause it’s not that it’s fun but for me it made me feel good and accomplished and finishing a race is a feeling that you can forget

Yeah maybe it’ll make them feel bad. I think it’ll push her more though if she ran with the guys

GoryTV We had a 19min girl run with the guys. Some days she was on fire and we had to work harder to make sure she didn’t beat us.

don't be silly

@That One Last year their school's season-best according to milesplit was 15:30. She ran 15:37 indoor in 2018. She could run with any of them. Only a couple would beat her and probably not every day.

That One yes

Bruh I wish mine was that fast lmao my freshman PR was 7:22 😭😭 I haven't ran the mile since track though so i have no idea where i am now

Thats still really fast for a girl....

Dustin Côté I guess I’m just being hard on myself.

Coco Azent on average boys are actually faster. in a meet if you look at a the boys winning time w the girls winning time the boys are noticeably better

My Pr as a freshman is 5:36 so what basically what she ran the first mile

My fastest two mile ran is around 10:30 hers is like 9:40

julianlikespigs she is not because she doesn’t do the race that dictates whether u r faster (100m)

My fastest 2mile run is 16:10 and also I’m in 6th grade

Cailyn Lopez that’s slow. When I was in 6th grade it was about 12-10 minutes. Don’t take it personal. You just gotta practice more..

julianlikespigs must be weird being the fasted in the country I mean just thinking about all the other 6th graders are slower than you lol

She is running at 5:30 in practice...that is a minute slower than her record lol

While she is really good, there are other Americans that are projected to go really far

Olivia Ruiz wat school u go to?

How'd it go??

You have to realise she is only 20 seconds shy of the world record for the women's mile, and she's only 16! 5:30 mile pace is a full minute slower than her full race pace!

gakaface ikr she’s so fast!

yes, Katelyn's the national record holder in the high school girls mile (outdoors): here it is if you haven't seen it. www.nbnationalsout.com/eprofile.php?event_id=3689&do=videos&video_id=247536 she also the national record holder at H.S. at 3000, 3200, & 5000 (indoor and out for 5k).

I've never ran a 4:35 mile in my life!

She literally can beat most guys wym that one

Yea, i can agree with you on the girl part. But fr, ive seen my fellow freshies run a 5:15 in p.e and in track. I run 6:05 so

Almost everyone runs faster than her yet they're unknown 😂😂 she is running at that place and she has yet to reach peak point. Why people have to undermine others achievements with their feeble attempts.

"It's" a girl?

Ultra Ninja this is just a work out for her. Her fastest mile is 4:33.

Threshold is a pace that you can hold for about 20 minutes, she could not hold this pace for any longer than that buddy

Cailyn Lopez seriously? 😳 my fastest 1mile is 7:30 and my fastest 1.50mile time is 11:06 on a good day. 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s definitely hard at first but you will work your way up with time and effort I started when I began kindergarten and I have always have had a passion for running. Now I’m in 6th grade and omg it’s been tough but, I’m getting better

Cailyn Lopez I love running too, i ran track since 8th grade all the way to junior year then in senior year I did cross country. Im 26 now going on 27 in a month and I’m working hard to beat my times.

It’s honestly pretty easy once you get used to it or when you build up the strength

Yup that's really fast for distance running especially real long distance

Probably would say "that's chicken sh...."

Your just out of shape I mean you can’t expect not to do anything and still be in great shape keep working hard for it you will get that back
