Fiona O'Keeffe OUT of 2026 Boston Marathon

it’s McClain unless the moto goes the wrong way then

There's more going on here than "hamstring tightness" but they apparently think we'll just swallow that whole.

Bummer is there a race to pivot to I wonder?

She needs to get the real reason for these injuries figured out or she’s never going to stay healthy. Hope the best for her.

We know the reason but it will get deleted if you say it

Predictable. Feast or famine. As soon as I saw Craggs comment yesterday about her developing hamstring tightness "this week" my thought was DNF or DNS.

Nobody who is ready to roll puts a pre-race Alibis out there like that. Its like Clayton Youngs back

It’s never a surprise when highly competitive athletes train to the point of injury. it’s a delicate balance for them. Too bad for Fiona. I hope she comes back soon.

Wishing her the best and a quick recovery.

She seems fragile- in many ways. Boston not a good course to push an injured hamstring on. Learning from experience?

Wondering how this might relate to her shoe or Boston appearance fee contracts.

Wishing her the best, but you can't help but suspect that consistent health will remain an issue as long as she's with this Puma group.

To me it's less about the injuries and more about why she keeps dragging herself to races when she's clearly not going to race them?

The growth hormone that Alastair has his athletes on did not work well enough in this case! Graydon Morris may have took it all.

Hamstring tightness = femoral stress reaction

femoral stress reaction = low bone density

Low bone density = REDs

REDs = DNF/DNS the major races of your career repeatedly and never addressing the root problem.

Lather

Rinse

Repeat

Dollars to donuts she doesn't return the appearance fee

😂

who cares. she "appeared".

You think races pay appearance fees before the event actually happens? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

...

It seems she stays injured....😳

You know that Taylor Roe is also hurt right now? Not a coincidence and same issue. Natosha Rogers left these coaches and has been in the same situation. She pulled out of Boston a month ago.
Safesport needs to step in but they never do.

Thanks genius
