Where is Grant Fisher training?

Grant Fisher, the American record holder in the 3000m, 5000m, and 10,000m, is currently training in Park City, Utah. He relocated there in late 2023 after leaving the Bowerman Track Club. Fisher now trains with his former high school coach, Mike Scannell, in a move that marks a significant shift in his professional career.

The 26-year-old athlete chose Park City for its high altitude, which he believes benefits his physiological response to training.

Fisher's impressive track record includes a fifth-place finish in the 10,000m at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and multiple American records set between 2022 and 2023. A Stanford University graduate, Fisher turned professional in 2019, joining the Nike-sponsored Bowerman Track Club.

Current Training Location

As of 2024, Grant Fisher is primarily based in Park City, Utah. He relocated there after leaving the Bowerman Track Club in October 2023. Park City is situated at an elevation of around 7,000 feet.

Who is Grant Fisher's new coach?

In a surprising move, Fisher has reunited with his high school coach, Mike Scannell.

Mike Scannell's Background

• Coached Fisher at Grand Blanc High School in Michigan

• Former college roommate of Grant's father, Dan, at Arizona State University

• Accomplished runner himself, with a 2:16 marathon debut in 1989

Reasons for the Change

Fisher's decision to leave Bowerman Track Club and relocate was influenced by several factors, as mentioned in a CITIUS MAG article:

1. The desire for more individualized training

2. Preference for altitude training

3. Dissatisfaction with the team's move from Portland to Eugene

4. Getting more control over the training schedule and race planning

In Fisher's own words: "I wasn't the happiest athlete over the past year, and I think that reflected itself quite a bit in my training and my racing and getting injured in the middle of the year."
