Episode 53 - Andrea McArdle

This week I had the pleasure to speak with Andrea McArdle. An Ohio native that has been in New Mexico for several years, Andrea has made the move from the track to trails and embraced New Mexican life. She is a member of the Duke's Track Club and Topo Athletics Elite team.

We talk about her helping coach at Rio Rancho High School with Sal Gonzalez (episode 24), and helping Jesse Armijo (episode 51) through his 100 miler.

We talk about her walking onto the Cross Country team at Ohio State, struggling and coming back the next year to try again. We talk about her marathon attempts and her first 50k at Mt. Taylor, which had some interesting weather. 

She talks about what she has coming up this year and so much more. It was a fun conversation that I think you will enjoy.

We are still working through all of this, so wear a mask, be kind, and keep running, New Mexico
