From First Lap to Finish Line Embracing the Runner's Journey with Amanda Hill Time for Brunch

    • Health & Fitness

Have you ever felt like giving up when life throws you a curveball? Amanda Hill's journey on the pavement tells a different story—one of unyielding determination and the life-changing impact of running. In our latest episode, we celebrate Amanda's transition from hesitant beginner, guided by the couch to 5K app, to a triumphant half marathon finisher. Her story isn't just about personal records; it's a lesson in resilience, balancing the roles of motherhood, healthcare professional, and many hats, all the while carving out her own "me time" with every stride.

Sometimes, the race isn't about the finish line; it's about the community cheering you on and the lessons learned along the way. That's the heart of our conversation as we recount Amanda's highs and lows, including the emotional whirlwind of training for the Wine and Dine race only to be sidelined by an injury. Yet, her tale doesn't pause there. Witness how she embraced the role of supportive spectator, underpinning the value of a solid support network during recovery, and how she made a comeback with a mindset as strong as her running cadence.

This episode isn't just Amanda's victory lap; it's a playbook for anyone inspired to pursue their running goals. We'll traverse the importance of listening to your body, the nuances of finding a run coach that fits like a snug pair of running shoes, and the shared joy of cultivating new friendships within the running community. Amanda’s experience serves as a beacon for anyone seeking motivation or contemplating the benefits of a personalized coaching partnership. Join us for an episode that's more than just a run—it's a marathon of inspiration, camaraderie, and the relentless pursuit of personal bests.

In this episode, you will also find the reasons why you should hire a coach and the key factors you need to consider before doing so.
