One of the best US college woman distance runners ever is unusual - she just set the indoor NCAA 5000 meter record

Opening this thread, I was positive it was going to be another Leah Thomas situation.

It's japanese si you pronounce the "o" in "kom" not "kam". Also, white people saying "wagoo".

Ok, so my wife is wrong with the “cam” but which of them is right about how to pronounce the u? My wife pronounces it “ooh” while my mother-in-law pronounces it “oh”.

Legit, not going to lie, I came in the thread expecting a trans tbh.

Its really sad in pro sports how hyper feminists have included this gender fluid nonsense and are now destroying womens sports because of it.

"U" is pronounced "oo" usually in asia. The hard "uh" is spelled with an a. Japan has a weird thing with "u" though.

So it’s probably pronounced closer to “calm-boo-cha” then? If so I’ll have to tell bith of them that they’re wrong.

The "kom" would sound like "com" in communication.

"kuhm·boo·chuh" is the American pronunciation according to google. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything other than "com-boo-chuh" though.

More interesting than the kombucha bs is the fact that she doesn't run much.

It reminds me of how fighters these days don't spar much. Seems counter intuitive but it appears to be working

I think the sparring part is that once you hit an elite level, you have done so much sparring that its benefits don’t outweigh the wear and tear to do it often. Plus, too many guys back in the day left a large part of their careers having gym wars.

How do you guys pronounce Kombucha? My wife pronounces it “cam-boo-cha” while my mother-in-law pronounces it “combo-cha”. They’re the only two people I know that drink that shit and I’ve never heard anyone else talk about it irl so I have no idea which one of them is right or if they’re both wrong.

Cum bü cha

Kom like "mom", not cam like camera.

Kom bu cha.

Cha meaning tea.

If you search her name, one of the first hits is a tiktok where she is telling people to drink more water as she drinks water

What is this thread

Saturday meets were great for scoping girls in HS.

I just ran a local St. Paddys day race yesterday, and the asses were glorious.

Nothing like that runners build.

Parker Vably just ran 14:52 for the 5000 at the NCAA Indoor Championships to set the NCAA record. It is very unusual to set records at NCAA Championship meets.

She won the NCAA Cross Country Championships this year.

She doesn't run much. She does a lot of cross training and only runs 2 or 3 times a week - quick less than a minute interview of her

Hobbs Kessler is the current indoor 1500m national champ. He only ran at the end of high school. He mostly did rock climbing.

Ridiculous.

When you were in high-school? Sure

Always these myths its so laughable but I know the US media cant stop feeding this bullshit. Yes he was also rock climbing but running for years. He was training professionally in running way back because his father is a running coach and put him into a running team with pro runners even at high school having pros monitoring his training.

Kessler is training as a running pro for years now and his 1500m record back then was the U20 record. Now he is a world class runner guess what because he has trained like that since childhood.


US media is incredible with all these fake stuff and you all eat it up like lemmings.

I am (or was) from the Ann Arbor area and used to follow the local running scene. He went to Skyline and IIRC he pretty much popped up at the end of high school. Sure, AA is a place where there is a lot of former world class running talent. I can remember Nick Willis coming out the mid-week track meet leading up to the Beijing Olympics (they organized a 1000m race just for him).

Hobbs Kessler was definitely a high level climber. He was in the Ann Arbor News for that before he made the leap to 4min miler in his last year of high school.

Would you still go down on her after she had 2 litres of kombucha and a 5000m race? Kind of a rhetorical question. I would say yes.

Well I have a thing for both white panties and cute, Nordic looking blondes... so you can probably do the math.
