Hey everybody, my name is Justin Koga. I went to duke and moved to the city after graduating.

A couple of months ago, my quarter-life crisis kicked in and I decided to go for a 5k run along the Hudson Greenway. This was my first run after a long hiatus and safe to say, I was hooked. I’ve been running consistently in Chelsea/on the West Side ever since and really look forward to joining a running community!

I’m trying to train for my first marathon sometime next year. Previously, I’ve only done Turkey Trots and local fundraising 10ks. Honestly, I just want to get to a point in running where I enjoy it rather than being in a constant world of pain haha

Aside from running, I love cycling (TNSR anybody??), hiking, and longboarding. I recently hiked Mount Olympus (GR) and completed the Broadway Bomb longboarding race. I also like watching really bad movies with my Regal Unlimited pass.
