Grant Fisher’s 2025 season is turning heads in the distance running world, fueled by a meticulous training approach and record-breaking results. After parting ways with the Bowerman Track Club in late 2023, Fisher reunited with his high school coach, Mike Scannell, relocating to Park City, Utah, to embark on a highly personalized training journey.

A Tailored Training Philosophy

Fisher’s approach under Scannell emphasizes adaptability and precision. Rather than chasing high-intensity sessions, he focuses on building endurance through consistent threshold training. Workouts are adjusted in real time, ensuring optimal stress without overtraining. This shift has increased his workout frequency while maintaining a sustainable load—striking a balance between challenge and recovery.

Record-Breaking Results

Fisher’s new regimen has already paid dividends. In February 2025, he stunned the track world with two indoor world records: a blistering 7:22.91 in the 3000 meters at the Millrose Games and a 12:44.09 in the 5000 meters at the BU Valentine Invitational. These performances not only demonstrate his refined fitness but also his ability to peak precisely when it matters.

Innovative Workouts and Recovery

One standout session highlighted his evolving approach: Fisher capped a 7-kilometer workout with a sub-4-minute mile. The session included a hard 2000-meter effort, 4x800-meter intervals at moderate pace, and a closing 1600-meter sprint, all designed to mimic race-day demands while carefully monitoring lactate levels.

Equally essential to his training is recovery. Fisher deliberately schedules breaks to recharge and maintain peak form. After his indoor heroics, he took a recovery period until mid-March, balancing performance with longevity.

Eyes on the Future

Looking ahead, Fisher is focused on refining his form and exploring opportunities to train with a partner who shares his goals. His trajectory this year is a testament to the power of tailored coaching, strategic adaptation, and a deep commitment to recovery.

For runners everywhere, Fisher’s journey offers a masterclass in balancing intensity with sustainability—proof that precision training can unlock world-class results.
