Run Farther & Faster — The Podcast with Coaches Lisa Levin and Julie Sapper

Episode 259: A Conversation with Keira D’Amato


Listen Later

We are so thrilled to welcome American record-holder and now author Keira D’Amato to discuss her brand-new book, Don't Call It a Comeback: What Happened When I Stopped Chasing PRs, and Started Chasing Happiness. Keira shares candid insights into her unconventional journey in running—from stepping away from the sport to becoming one of the fastest marathoners in U.S. history—all while balancing motherhood, a career, and her signature sense of humor.


In our conversation, Keira talks about what inspired her to write the book, the lessons she hopes readers (and runners of all levels) will take away, and how she continues to redefine what’s possible on and off the roads. We also dive into her mindset, training, and how failure propelled her to unimaginable success.


Whether you’re chasing a PR, navigating a comeback of your own, or just need a reminder that the path to success is rarely linear, this episode is filled with inspiration, laughs, and practical wisdom from one of the most relatable athletes in our sport. Big thanks to Keira for joining us!
