Matthew Centrowitz, 2016 Olympic gold medalist in the 1500 meters, will be leading the way.
The hints were there, in Keira D’Amato’s Strava. On October 1 in Provo, Utah, D’Amato ran her last hard workout before the Chicago Marathon, 2 x 4 miles, at about 5:20 per mile pace.D’Amato tagged training partner Makena Morley, who is also running Chicago, and a friend, Dustin Bybee, who ran for Brigham Young University. And in small type—he doesn’t have a public Strava account—D’Amato wrote “centro.” The same foursome ran together September 24 for a workout of 3 x tempo mile, 1200.
After disappointment at the Olympic Marathon Trials in February, when D’Amato dropped out at mile 20, she decided over the summer to move from her home in Richmond, Virginia, to Park City, Utah, to train at altitude for the first time under a new coach, Ed Eyestone. Not only has training at altitude been an adjustment, but Eyestone’s training is different from what D’Amato had been doing before her previous marathons. She is now focusing on more frequent tempos and long runs.
