She was living close to Boulder and moved in Austin Texas, why would any professional runner do that?

The contract with asics lasts through 2020 so she only had a matter of months left. Obviously they were never going to extend it considering her luckluster results. Her contract with Oiselle ended after the Trials, unless she placed in the top six, in which case it was to be extended through the year.

Did her contract require to move to Texas?
Awful place for a marathoner to train.
I follow her on social media because she is beautiful and interesting.
Leading up to the trials she seemed to be running a lot of very strong workouts. Every other day she's banging out sub-6 minute looooong workouts. She ran a very strong HM. Then she goes to the trials and runs 5:40 for 7ish miles and then disappears.
Reminds me of guys in college who caught the 'drop out' bug. All Americans who went through a stretch where they couldn't finish a race. So sad. I tuned into the trials just to see her do great things and she couldn't even hang for half an hour?
In all honesty, I wonder why Neely Spence Gracey still has a contract with Adidas and hasn't done anything worthy of it in 5 years and Allie gets dropped because she didn't produce a good time in only one year's time.
I listened to a Scottish Running focused podcast on my long run this morning and Liz McColgan was the interviewee.
She mentioned she is definitely coaching Allie Kieffer,which shocked me going by what I’ve seen from Kieffer on her social media.
Always dropping or modifying sessions with excuses,same after poor races etc.
She’s probably chosen one of the toughest coaches out there,Liz Mccolgan came from a poor Irish Catholic family who couldn’t even buy her proper shoes to run in.
She lived on a tough council estate in Dundee where choosing to go out running while most of the others on her estate were hitting the drink and drugs singled her out for abuse and bullying.
Probably one of the guttsy,mentally strong racers that Britain has ever produced who willed herself to world title,Olympic silver and marathon major wins.
She takes zero excuses or lame crap from anyone,will either make or totally break someone who seems as fragile as Allie Kieffer,their personalities and attitudes couldn’t be more opposite.
Liz is absolute hard as nails and Kieffer seems pillow soft.
Last month she started her own podcast:
IMHO, Allie needs to train at 2:32 pace to get a solid cycle in and show up at a starting line of a lesser marathon injury free - and get another finish under her belt.
Grayson Murphy is cherry picking uncontested uphill sprints, and half marathon length "trail championships" that pay less in prize purse than the cost of a plane ticket to participate. Grayson earns her money on instagram sporting bikinis, diet pills, and nuun cocktails.
Addie Bracey has earned whatever she's got. Shows up to long races, consistently in the top 5-10, silently puts in the work. She is the night to Grasyon Murphy's day.
