Episode 198: Amanda Loudin

Amanda Loudin is an award winning journalist and masters runner. She has been published in The Washington Post, ESPN, Outside Magazine, Runner’s World, Women’s Running and more. If you are reading anything about health and fitness, you’ve probably read some of her work.

Amanda is the proud mom of two- she just sent her oldest off to college; and she’s someone I look up to as a Mom. She has shifted her running to more trail running these days and shares with us about her shift from chasing faster times to running more for the pure enjoyment of it as a masters runner. She calls it running 2.0, which I love.

I really enjoyed getting to know Amanda more in this episode and hope you enjoy our conversation!
