MudGear Fanatic: Amanda Jenkins
From complete immobility after major surgery to chasing 100-mile ultramarathons—Amanda Jenkins didn't just bounce back, she exploded forward with a relentless "playtime" mentality that transforms obstacles into opportunities. Watch how this OCR fanatic turned one of life's toughest setbacks into the fuel for her most ambitious goals yet, proving that the only real limit is the one you accept.
Fanatic Amanda Jenkins (ocr_queenleo) knows what it feels like to start over from ground zero. After an ACL reconstruction/meniscus surgery in 2019, Jenkins's training ground to an excruciating low.
For Jenkins, training is life. "I usually refer to my training sessions as 'playtime,'” she says, " Others see how much fun I have and that’s what sucks them into the lifestyle!" When recovery cut Jenkins off from her usual playtimes, she knew that healing would come with a renewed fervor for fitness. One year after her surgery, she ran her first marathon distance. Now, in 2023, she's prepping for a 100 miler. She's definitely back on track.
"I am not afraid to try new things and I’m not afraid to fail. It’s all a part of the process. If I try and fail, I try again. There’s no quit in me." Jenkins powers through all her setbacks with incredible drive, humor, and her MudGear Women's Compression Shorts.
