He Runs Marathons in Crocs and Doesn’t Care What You Think

In this episode of Runnah, I’m joined by Andrew—the guy I met in Tokyo running the **Tokyo Marathon… in bright yellow Crocs.
Yes, you read that right. Andrew runs his marathons in Crocs—and not just any marathons. He’s a multiple-time World Marathon Majors finisher, an OR nurse, a Maine local, and someone who shows up fully and unapologetically as himself every single time he steps on the start line.
This conversation is about so much more than footwear. It’s about joy, authenticity, and what it really means to love running—not for the times, but for the experience, the people, and the stories along the way.
We get into:
• Running marathons in Crocs (and why it works for him)
• His experience at the Tokyo Marathon and other World Marathon Majors
• Balancing life as an OR RN with endurance training
• What it means to show up authentically in the running space
• Why loving the sport matters more than anything else
Andrew is the kind of runner who reminds you that there’s no one “right” way to do this—just your way. And that’s exactly what makes this episode so special.
