297. Keira D'amato: Training, Fatigue Stimulation, and Longevity

Most runners know Keira D’Amato as the realtor-turned American record holder who is as famous for her humor as she is for her speed, but in our latest sit-down, we deliberately skipped the origin story to focus on the mechanics of how sheoperates today. Shifting her training to Utah under coach Ed Eyestone, D’Amato has replaced the traditional high-volume grind with a masterclass in efficiency, utilizing "fatigue simulation" to mimic the final miles of a marathon without the physical toll of excessive race-pace mileage. Fromrebuilding her 5K speed to create aerobic headroom to implementing a strict 6-day training week, her current blueprint is a professional look at how elite performance is evolving toward longevity and structural durability.
