Is Kate Grace update?

Kate sounded upbeat about all the therapy work she was doing last month, including taking up Pilates. Have wondered the same about her silence since.

Expect Shelby, Kate, Sinclaire and maybe Elise in the 1500. However, Jerry may have Elise focus on the 5k --- as Shelby did in 2016 despite coming out of ASU as a top collegian miler.

If Elise cranks out a sub-4 tomorrow, that concept could quickly change.

Kate and everyone else outside of Shelby who makes the Trials final will be in a tough spot.

What’s the deal with Kate Grace? I believe on social media she mentioned dealing with an Achilles issue, but it’s been weeks since she shared anything about her status/training. She doesn’t appear to be in Portland with the rest of the team. I would have loved to see her in one of these time trials with less pressure to see if she could lower her 1500 PR of 4:02. If Cranny, Schweizer and Quigley are all able to beat that time this week that’s gotta be tough for Kate. I don’t see how she has a chance to make the Olympic team in the 1500.. does she drop back down to 800?

Kate is at her running camp along with a few other teammates. It's on her IG.

Is it Kate Grace's responsibility to keep you updated on her status/progress?

She's always back home in Hollywood working in the business with her siblings.

I guess if she’s not posting about it her career must be over.

It’s very sad that pros can’t train unless they talk about their lives on Twitter.

I wasn’t intending to knock Grace for the lack of updates, I agree the pros owe us nothing. I’ve always been a fan of hers and have been bummed to see many of her teammates hitting big PRs while she’s on the sidelines. I’d love for her to make another Olympic team but I am struggling to see how that’s possible due to the stiff competition in the 1500, especially if she is dealing with injury.

They can do whatever they want on Twitter, if I was a pro I would probably not tweet about my injuries either, it’s just tough to follow a sport when your favorite athletes are not racing and you don’t even know if they have retired. Tennis is an individual sport that doesn’t seem to have this problem, I wish I had the answer

if Elise runs under 4 min.... well... that would be amazing, but i don't think she can yet, with all due respect, and kate is cool educated situated woman, i think she will be fine, wouldn't lose any sleep over her well being, she could be world class again, she might go on and live a normal life, i hope she'll keep us up to date on social media, she owes is to us??

It’s summertime. She’s prob at the beach and spending time with friends and family. No races. No race anxiety. No pressure. Just enjoying life. Talking about training and injuries is boring. I’m sure she’s fine. Now, Boris Berian... that’s when you start worrying.

Good news is that Boris Berian seems to be running with Team Boss now, and he looks fit. Obviously, a guy who is still young and who ran 1:43.34 and 1:44.20 in consecutive years last Olympic cycle is one to watch if he has a healthy year or two.

I'm alive. ? my dad is about to text me an "i told you so" if he sees this thread...

i tend to shy from posting while i'm returning to training bc i want to be able to do it at my own pace, and adjust plans accord to how i feel. I've been taking it conservative this summer... everything is about building toward next year.

i'm sure the group is going to kill it tonight. but i dont need races to know there's a lot of world class 1500 potential in this crew... i see them at training all the time. it'll be a great group training together this fall. plus some fun new additions.

anyway. i'll be helping to commentate the USATF stream if anyone's going to be watching!

Glad to hear your recovery is going well, Kate! Excited to see you bounce back and crush it next year when it really counts ?

Currently listening to the broadcast. You're actually funny. I love the comedic angle it brings to the meet.

Kate, I told you so.

You really need to keep up with your social media. It’s hard for your flock to keep track of your training and wokeness if you disappear on them.

Looks like you are only a few places from the 1500m podium in your own training group, so I’m sure everything will be just fine moving forward.

Are we still on for ice cream later?

Dad

Your commentating was great! You and Chris Derrick should collaborate on something. I always felt he might be a future on-air talent.

Geez, let me just say I'm Matthew Centrowitz, because some people on LetsRun will immediately believe it, and respond as if they've just read a post from the gold medal-winning great. Maybe it WAS Kate Grace who posted. MAYBE NOT. There IS a sucker born every minute, you know.

Let me change who I say I am. Yeah, I'm really Jim Ryun. No, really. I'll prove it. Go with Christ. See?

I was only kidding. I'm Alan Webb. I mean Noah Lyles. Yeah. I'm Noah Lyles. I just ran an 18.43 legit 200. No, really.

So who's dumb enough to reply as if I really am Noah Lyles? Take a number please, because the line is long.
