About the Run To The Finish Team

Welcome runners!!

Amanda Brooks founded RTTF in 2007, but now there’s an entire team of 9 certified running coaches and 20 gear testers giving you more helpful feedback and guidance. We’re testing 200+ running shoes every year on different paces, different surfaces and through varied training cycles to ensure we can provide accurate feedback for your shoe shopping!

If you’re tired of running shoe reviews from only Sub 3 hour runners, we’ve got you covered!

A certified running coach and personal trainer for over a decade, Amanda helped thousands of runners through 1-1 personalized coaching and Virtual Run Club.

Initially, she started the website as a way to connect with other runners, but over the years that Journalism degree kicked in and now the entire team is here to provide you with actionable tips backed by experience! This dedicated team of runners follows strict standards and ethics.

36,000 miles, 24+ years of running, a book and 2,000 articles later, Amanda has built an incredible foundation for the team to continue helping runners around the world. Our goal is to get you thinking beyond pace to having more fun and less injuries.
