Welcome Amanda Wilkins to Team Swivel Bottle!

They said she’d never run a mile…she proved them wrong. Meet Amanda Wilkins, our newest member of Team Swivel Bottle!

When Amanda first set out to learn more about her asthma, she was told by a team of specialists that she’d never be able to run a mile without stopping. Instead of accepting that, she spent three years working to strengthen her lungs, one breath at a time.

Fast forward to today Amanda has completed countless races with a personal best 5K time of 23:22 and a half marathon time of 1:55:42. She finished her first full marathon last year and in October of this year PR’d her second marathon with a time of 4:28:31.

She’s a mother and has a masters in exercise science and a goal to encourage everyone to fight for their goals, no matter what circumstances they were handed.

Welcome to the Team, Amanda! You will inspire so many people with your story and motivate them with your passion for the sport of running!
