Hi!! I’m Mariska, a sophomore at Pitt studying computational biology. I’m originally from the Metro Detroit area, and I’m actually visiting home in a few weeks for the Detroit Half! I got into running because of my dad—I did taekwondo for 13 years and he’d help me cross train to build my stamina. I decided to leave taekwondo behind for the most part when I came to college, but I love to go back and visit my coaches.

I’m actually looking for new long run routes so if you guys have any recommendations please let me know—I love my Pitt/CMU campus to Schenley Park/South O to Bakery Square/Mellon Park route and it’s gorgeous but I can only run it so many times. I’m so excited that Endorphins has come to PGH—I actually didn’t believe it when I saw the email in my inbox because I had only signed up for the mailing list on the off chance I’d ever be in NYC. It was awesome meeting Amy, Bella, and everyone else that came out to the first run! Can’t wait to see you all again soon😊

Just made a Strava account so here’s the link: https://www.strava.com/athletes/mariska_goswami
