Amanda is a total bad ass with a burning passion for our sport! Our paths first crossed when I flew down to Austin to join the Team Rogue crazies for a 30 mile no-nutrition run. I’ve been following her running journey enthusiastically since then.

We dialed it back to five years ago, when Amanda had a Half Marathon PR of 1:34 and had a goal of breaking 1:30. Fast forward to the Woodlands Half Marathon where she SCORCHED a 1:24:18!

Then we took a deep dive into her training to examine what’s been moving the needle:

The latest on her Team Rogue training as well as how she worked with Ashley Shager at the Woodlands Half for her breakthrough 1:24

Working with her sports chiro, Dr. Noah Moos, AKA the Witch Doctor

Seeking out nutritionist Natalie Picchetti-Moos and The Human Nutrition Project and testing blood markers to discover gluten, dairy, and casein issues.

Taking mobility/strength/imbalances classes with Mallory Brooks & Jason Brooks

Reuniting with her old coach, Steve Sisson, AKA The Sorcerer

Finding a hypnotherapist, Dr. Laura Ryan, and working on strengthening her mindset

How all of these areas, plus grinding the miles helped take Amanda’s running to another level. Working with a Witch Doctor and a Sorcerer is clearly a good combo.

And finally, finding the love in running and how it keeps us grounded -- which has never been more important than in these crazy Covid19 times.

Please take a listen and hear Amanda’s AWESOME story! If you enjoyed the conversation, it would mean the world to me if you would rate the episode or write a review and share feedback wherever you get your podcast groove on.
