Amy Robach and TJ Holmes’ scandalous romance appears to be going the distance, with the co-hosts-turned-lovers preparing to run the annual New York City Half Marathon again this weekend.
The ousted GMA3 hosts, who are said to have bonded off-screen over their mutual love of running, will take part in the 13.1-mile run this Sunday, for the first time as a couple.
Inside sources tell DailyMail.com that the couple’s intense training regimen, as well as their constant ‘intimate workouts’ behind closed doors, has gotten them in ‘the best shape of their lives’.
Amy Robach and TJ Holmes are preparing to run in Sunday’s New York Half Marathon, where their relationship is said to have taken a turn last year.
The co-hosts-turned-lovers were still married to their spouses when their friendship began to develop into something more while training for the race early last year.
Robach and her ex-husband Andrew Shue (pictured) used to host events together as a couple before Holmes took up running last year and began training with the couple.
The two previously participated in the event last March while still married to their respective spouses and, as DailyMail.com previously reported, it was while training for the race that their friendship began to develop into something more.
‘TJ and Amy have come full circle. Their relationship became more than just a friendship when they were training for the half marathon last year,” a source said.
“And now, a year later, they are committed lovers ready to prove themselves in this weekend’s race.”
According to a friend: ‘They are in the best shape of their lives, and one of the reasons is their very active sex life.’
‘Are they in the Kama Sutra? I can’t say. But in addition to their intense training, their private and intimate workouts give them that extra added stamina.’
Robach, 50, and Holmes, 45, had also run together, most recently the New York City Marathon in November, just weeks before DailyMail.com revealed that the broadcast journalists were having an affair.
An avid runner, Robach used to participate in the marathon, as well as other races elsewhere, with her ex-husband Andrew Shue, often sharing photos of the two training together on social media.
When Holmes eventually began running as a regular hobby as well, he and Amy began spending more time together and socializing as a foursome with each other’s spouses, even training alongside Shue for last year’s half marathon.
Robach, a well-known avid runner, even took credit for Holmes’s newfound interest in running and how she coached her colleague in the weeks leading up to the race in an interview last March.
Photographs posted to Robach’s Instagram last March show Holmes, 45, with her arm casually around her husband Andrew Shue’s shoulder, with both men apparently firmly part of Robach’s ‘half-marathon gang’.

The ABC hosts also discussed their training regimen for the half marathon in a now-infamous video in which the undeniable chemistry and flirty banter between the two became apparent to viewers.
Sitting side by side, Holmes lounges on the sofa, dressed casually in sweats, while Robach sits up straight. They film themselves in the middle of the chat.
“You’ve been training,” says Robach. Holmes intervenes: ‘With you. And I run after you and you keep up, so I don’t have to worry about these things.
Robach replies, “And if you’re the pacemaker, you have to worry about these things.”
‘If you’re the pacemaker, does that make me the pacemaker?’ Holmes asks.
Robach replies: ‘Yes. But we’re both going to be finalists. That’s what counts.
Holmes’s eyes widen and roll in an instant, and when he opens his mouth in wonder and amusement, the sexual innuendo hangs in the air.
He shifts forward in his seat, and Robach seems to realize what he’s said, and starts laughing.
Their relationship turned into a full-blown romantic affair when they ran the New York City Marathon, this time without Shue, in November.
The couple shared photos of the two together at the finish line, just weeks before DailyMail.com exposed their affair.
