Since then she has completed marathons on all seven continents, earning her an entry into the Seven Continents Marathon Club in November 2012, after running the following marathons: London and Gold Coast 2009, Barcelona and Marine Corps Marathon (Washington DC) 2011, Kilimanjaro Marathon (Tanzania), Great Wall Marathon (China), Inca Trail Marathon (Peru), and finally the Antarctic Ice Marathon in 2012. Prior to competing in the Jungle Marathon in October 2013, Amanda had run over 16 marathons, including the ill-fated 2013 Boston Marathon – which she later returned to complete in 2014. The running of the Jungle Marathon represented the 10th country she had completed a marathon in which gained her full entry into the Marathon Globetrotters Club. The 54-year old mother of three adult children works as a Wellsite Geologist on offshore oil and gas platforms and subsequently is confined to doing most of her training on a treadmill - or running round in circles on a helideck. While the 360° ocean views from the helideck are a peaceful backdrop for running, the repetitive tight circles can cause dizziness and one leg to become shorter than the other so her preference for longer runs is on the treadmill. A 30-year association with the Fitness Industry as an accredited group fitness instructor and personal trainer has fostered a strong research and anecdotal base for living a fit and healthy life well into middle age and beyond. Competing in "destination" marathons is Amanda's idea of a holiday, and with many more of the world’s natural wonders to explore, there will no doubt be many more marathons yet to run. The wonderful people she has met, and new friends she has made, have helped fuel her passion for keeping fit so she can continue to run around the world - literally!view less
