About Amanda Brooks
Welcome runners!! I’m Amanda Brooks the woman running the show around here since 2007.
A certified running coach and personal trainer for over a decade, I’ve helped thousands of runners through 1-1 personalized coaching and Virtual Run Club. If you’re tired of running shoe reviews from only the Sub 3 hour runners, we’ve got you covered!
Initially, I started the blog as a way to connect with other runners, but over the years my Journalism degree kicked in and I wanted to really KNOW more about running, so I started to create researched articles and make connections with people smarter than me to answer questions!
33,000 miles, 20+ years of running, a book and 2,000 articles later, I feel pretty good about not only helping others, but understanding whatever you’re going through on the run! My goal is to get you thinking beyond pace to having more fun and less injuries.
