Abate gained his racing experience as one of the pacemakers in the #breaking2 project in Monza, Italy and then went on from that project to debut in the half marathon in his personal best of 60:10. 

Turning to the marathon; Abate has adapted well moving into the sub-2:07 category and placing on the podium in his first three marathons. The sky is the limit for this wonderful, young man.
