Kate Grace made the 2016 Olympic team and ran gutty races over 800 meters, improving to 1:58.28 in the 2016 season.

In 2017, Kate Grace made the US team for London and finished 11th in her heat in the 1,500 meters.

Now training with Bowerman TC, under the keen eye of Jerry Schumacher, Kate Grace told the media at the NYRR Millrose Presser that she was fit and implied, perhaps that was fitter than ever before.

To read the interview, please look below!

1. You were second during last year’s NYRR Women’s Wanamaker Mile. This year?

Kate Grace: “I don’t know. Actually, when I ran it the first time I finished third. So, third, second and this could be the one.”

2. What is the hardest workout you do?

Kate Grace: “The hardest workout? Everything is hard and it’s crazy. It’s exciting that I’ve been training at a high level for five years. To be hit with running challenges and be running with training partners who are pushing every day that I’m extremely grateful. But I’ve been working really hard.”

If self love is the first step, sport is a great way to get there. Know your light. See that light in others. Fight. Until we all win. #equality
