About Your Running Coach
Meet Amanda
I am so excited to share my knowledge and passion for running with you! For whichever mountain you are setting out to climb, be it your first 5K or reaching new goals within ultra running, I will work with you to customize a training plan to help you reach that summit!
Endurance running has shaped my lifestyle, enriched my life, and has helped define me. I live and train in Denver Colorado and venture out to the front range trails of the Rocky Mountains whenever I can. I am a certified running coach through United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy (UESCA). I am not an elite athlete but I am passionate about endurance running and always pursuing new limits for my own running potential.
My most memorable run and endurance event finishes include:
The Boston Marathon (2015, 2016)
Ironman Wisconsin (2013, 2014, 2017)
The Leadville Silver Rush 50 Mile Run (2019,2021)
The Leadville Trail 100 Mile Run (2021)
