Amanda first found running as a new mom. When she started, she could barely run 60 seconds at a time. It didn’t take long before she fell in love with ultramarathons and endurance sports in general. Amanda started coaching in 2017 and is certified as both a running coach and a yoga instructor. She believes that endurance sports show us that, with consistency, the impossible becomes possible.
