Today Dimity chats with Amanda Brooks, a running coach who goes by Run to the Finish on social media—and in book stores. Her book Run to the Finish: The Every Day Runner’s Guide to Avoiding Injury, Ignoring the Clock and Loving the Run was released this spring.

In addition to talking about such important topics as the best pizza in Denver, the duo discuss:

—Why making one change at a time is a helpful, doable philosophy;

—The biggest thing that makes a difference in Amanda’s running;

—How to work gratitude miles into your everyday runs; and

—Why Amanda (mostly) gave up dairy.
