We are stoked to welcome Peter Bromka to the Suite Run Podcast! Peter has made a name for himself in the running world with his prolific writing and gutsy marathon performances.
Peter attempted to qualify for the Olympic Trials (2020) THREE times and one of those attempts was an oh so close, 2:19:02 (the standard for men in 2020 was 2:19:00) in December 2019 at the California International Marathon. Peter's grateful attitude, true love for the sport and the realization that the marathon owes you nothing, are some of the reasons why people love Peter.
In this fun conversation, Peter shares his extensive journey in marathoning and in the second half of the chat Peter describes the beauty of his hometown of Portland, OR.
Peter is the perfect person to tell the listener the best places to RUN, dine out, hang out, race and more in Portland (which is truly a runner's paradise).


Enjoy our conversation!
