A Conversation with Keira D'Amato

Another Mother Runner

This is the ideal episode for anyone who loves to go big—or read about people who do. Hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Tish Hamilton have a fun conversation with Keira D'Amato, a mother runner perhaps best known for, in 2022, breaking a 16-year American record in the marathon. In addition to talking about her brand-new book Don’t Call It a Comeback: What Happened When I Stopped Chasing PRs, and Started Chasing Happiness, Keira shares: 
-the healing properties of running for her; 
-what a 2013 marathon taught her re: not taking training for granted; 
-how motherhood changed her approach to running; 
-her “magical” mantra while marathon training in 2022; and
-her, um, unconventional root-beer float recipe! 
Before Keira joins around 11:19, the hosts detail their recent, friend-filled weekend getaways.
