She has grown from the adorable rising star of her junior days into a confident, world-leading top athlete this season. The stadium in her hometown of Wลocลawek bridges her past and present! Go Klaudia!๐คฉ ๐ต๐ฑ

Sheโs been showing an incredible knack for the 1500m sprint recently! On the other hand, she's going to go sub-30 in the 10,000m very soon. A complete all-rounder!๐คฉ
Nadia Battocletti, the Italian distance queen, is European champion at 10,000m, 5,000m, cross country and on the roads. She is World silver and bronze medalist at Worlds and Olympic silver medalist. She is one of our most popular global athletes RunBlogRun!
Enjoy three video clips that we did with Nadia in Madrid in February 2026 for Meeting Indoor Madrid!
Nadia is coached by her father, a former elite distance runner. Always a great interview, I enjoy the frankness of our conversations and her obvious love of her sport!

Maddy Elmore is such a promising athlete! ๐ Out of all the athletes I know, she made an incredibly strong impression on me ๐ฅ Her stride is so smooth and clean! โจ
Rewriting history.

Olympic champion ๐ณ๐ฑ Sifan Hassan and ๐บ๐ธ Fiona O'Keeffe (last year's top American) have scratched from the 2026 New York City Marathon due to injuries, New York Road Runners announced.
Last night, O'Keeffe shared the following update on Instagram: "Went to the Steadman Clinic in Vail last week for a proximal hamstring repair surgery. An MRI at the end of September showed that the old partial tear I got leading into Boston had turned into a fully retracted tendon tear on the left side, so surgery was the next logical step. Iโm grateful to all the medical professionals and my team for helping me access the best care. Itโs going to be a long road back, but Iโm looking forward to the small milestones along the way. Thanks to all my family & friends who have been in my corner all this time."
O'Keeffe ran a personal best of 2:22:49 to break the American course record in New York. She withdrew from April's Boston Marathon.
Hassan withdrew from April's London due to an Achilles injury. She has not raced since last year's 6th place finish at the NYC Marathon in 2:24:43.
Fionaโs 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! โจ
๐บ๐ธ Fiona OโKeeffe 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 yearโs race, she ran a personal best of 2:22:49 to break the American course record in New York.
Sofia joining the Oregon Ducks is huge!๐ฆ For context, their women's mid/long distance all-time top 10 is packed with elite pros. Maddy Elmore's race back then was absolute gold. What a sprint!๐ซถ
School record alert! ๐ฆ

In addition to these records, what is particularly impressive is that she ran 14:48 in the 5,000m on her very first serious attempt, proving her strong aptitude for longer distances. ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฏ

Klaudia Kazimierska is your Women's Athlete of the Month for September! ๐
It was a superb close to the season for the Polish 1500m runner who took the Diamond League & World Ultimate titles - setting a World lead of 3:54.05!
#EuropeanAthletics #AthleteOfTheMonth
Every off-season brings some period of reflection, and for Sarah Healy itโs also prompted her decision to leave her training base in Manchester and consider a fresh approach to what lies ahead, writes Ian O'Riordan.

What shocking news! ๐ฎ Sheโs been unlucky with injuries, but she clearly has amazing aptitude for longer distances and so much room to grow! ๐ฅ Always root for you, Sarah! ๐๐"

Stunning run, Alice!๐ She hasn't done any serious long-distance training yet, so this was an incredible performance. I think the main goal was to gain valuable race experience for a future transition to the road.
