2:38 Marathoner Andie Cozzarelli Joins RunnersConnect

The RunnersConnect family has grown!  We welcomed a brand
new expert coach to our staff this year and I’d like to introduce
you to her.


Andie Cozzarelli is a 2:38 marathoner, semi-pro athlete from
Raleigh, NC.  She ran in college at North Carolina State,
becoming a 2 time All-American in the 10k and joined Oiselle
after college. She qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials in the
Marathon with a half marathon and later went on to win her first
full at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon.


After coaching on her own, Andie has joined the coaching team at
RunnersConnect and we couldn't be more thrilled!


But Andie’s running road was not always smooth and easy.  As
a sophomore in college, she was diagnosed with Celiac Disease
after struggling with her training and developing some disordered
eating habits. Her performances improved after making some
important dietary changes, but it wasn’t enough to prevent some
serious physical and mental health issues connected to her
training and fueling. Thankfully, she has recovered and now is an
advocate for mental health, nutrition, and balance in
training. 


Aside from running & coaching, Andie and Claire have another
sweet passion that they share and we’ll get into that in this
conversation.
