A powerful story of breakthrough inspiration.

At an age when most athletes consider retirement, Keira D’Amato is just getting started. She’s determined to share the secrets of her success to help readers to start chasing their own happiness, to dream a big, scary dream, and ultimately to find their way back to themselves.

This book is exactly the push we all need to try something new and hard. Keira’s story—and her happiness—is inspiring. Emily Oster, bestselling author of Expecting Better I’ve read hundreds of running books in the last fifty years, and Keira D’Amato’s Don’t Call It A Comeback stands apart from the pack. D’Amato’s realistic look at elite running—the good, the bad, and the bonky—makes her book a reader’s delight. Amby Burfoot, 1968 Boston Marathon winner, and author of First Ladies of Running Don’t Call It A Comeback is fireworks in a crowded field of athlete memoirs. With a knack for hilariously vulnerable storytelling, Keira D’Amato unspools a fascinating tale of her unconventional running career.
