What happens when a casual 10K bet among friends turns into a complete lifestyle overhaul? On this episode of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast, host John Shep sits down with Andrew Kim from Runners' Choice Waterloo to trace his incredible journey.
From his first strides in 2020 to shedding weight and shifting careers, Andrew shares how running became the catalyst for a new life. We dive into how he utilized social media for accountability, leading to partnerships with major brands like Lululemon and Strava, and how he tackled numerous marathons and ultras along the way.
Plus, just in time for the season, Andrew opens up his playbook for the ultimate runner's holiday gift guide. Whether you are looking for inspiration to start your own journey or looking for the perfect gear, this episode has it all.
