Amanda Brooks is a boss and a true OG in the running community. She's also a tireless researcher of products and training methodologies, all focused on injury prevention and keeping her runners and followers healthy. Amanda and her team of 8 coaches have built a community platform to support middle-of-the-pack runners and help them find joy in running or walking at any pace.
Amanda's coaching mission:
I want us all to think beyond the clock. To love the run for what it gives us. To love our bodies for what they can achieve. To take the extra few moments to keep us running injury-free and happy. In fact, that's the major portion of the first 1/3 of my new book, Run To The Finish: The Everyday Runners Guide To Avoiding Injury, Ignoring The Clock, And Loving The Run (a great resource for ALL runners)
We discuss: her youth, team sports, the impact of good and bad coaches and how that shaped her approach and the coaches she hires, building a community, finding joy at any pace, overcoming a major health crisis and how it led to a focus on lower-heartrate training, her focus on health and injury prevention, InsideTracker—awareness of what's happening on the inside, helping others with her platform, and community service.
I've been a big fan of Amanda's impact in the running community, so it was a real treat to learn more of her inspiring story!
I hope you all enjoy this convo as much as we did!
