134: Mission Viejo, CA with Andrea Kooiman: Basecamp of an Ultramarathoner

We are so happy to welcome Andrea Kooiman to the Suite Run Podcast! Andrea has run over 100 marathons (no, that wasn't a typo!) and over 50 ultra distance events. Professionally, she just celebrated nine years working at Road Runner Sports in grassroots marketing, co-founded a youth non-profit running program, WeROCK (We Run Our Community's Kids) and spends many weekends race announcing run and triathlon events all across the country. In this conversation, Andrea shares about her entry into ultramarathoning and what exactly goes into racing for multiple days (so many good stories). Then we pivot and talk about her beautiful hometown of Mission Viejo, CA - where to run, dine out, hang out and more! We hope you enjoy listening to Andrea's story as much as we loved chatting with her!Click HERE for the show notes.Click HERE to grab a Suite Run mug!This episode is sponsored by:InsideTrackerInsideTracker is a personalized health and wellness platform like no other.What’s their secret?
