And this past week, the mother-of-two has stepped up to take on a leading role alongside T.J. Holmes and George Stephanopoulos, while Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan were absent from the show for a lot of the week.

It was a difficult time for Robin, who had fallen ill with laryngitis, and lost her voice as a result.

It's been a busy time for Amy, who is not only working extra hours on GMA right now, but has been sprinting around the city - quite literally.

The 26.2 mile race began in Staten Island before finishing off in Central Park. What's more, this was Amy's fourth marathon this year and the second in the last month alone.
