Fiona’s ultra-efficient, high-cadence stride is her biggest strength. By improving glute activation and adjusting her landing, she can reduce hamstring stress while keeping her signature form. Gradual strengthening will be key to a strong comeback! ✨
🇺🇸 Fiona O’Keeffe shares that she underwent proximal hamstring repair surgery last week at the Steadman Clinic in Vail after an MRI revealed that a partial tear sustained ahead of the Boston Marathon had progressed into a fully retracted tendon tear in her left leg.
She was previously announced as part of the elite field for the 2026 New York City Marathon. In last year’s race, she ran a personal best of 2:22:49 to break the American course record in New York.
