Amanda McKinley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a certified run coach through the Road Runners Club of America.  She is currently a PhD student at the Indiana University school of social work studying how loneliness impacts whole person health.  She is particularly interested in how group physical activity can disrupt loneliness and build social capital.  She wants to help runners find supportive communities and address mental and social barriers that keep them from running their best.
