About the Run To The Finish Team
Welcome runners!! I’m Amanda Brooks the woman running the show around here since 2007.
Only now, there’s an entire team of certified running coaches and gear testers giving you more helpful feedback and guidance. We’re testing 200+ running shoes every year on different paces, different surfaces and through varied training cycles to ensure we can provide accurate feedback for your shoe shopping!
If you’re tired of running shoe reviews from only Sub 3 hour runners, we’ve got you covered!
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.
Initially, I started the blog as a way to connect with other runners, but over the years my Journalism degree kicked in and now we all want to provide you with actionable tips backed by experience! My wonderful extended team follows strict standards and ethics.
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! Our goal is to get you thinking beyond pace to having more fun and less injuries.
