Ep. 13: Kayla Straub, Brazos Bend 100 Champion

Kayla Straub is a 10-time ultramarathon winner and the champion of the Brazos Bend 100-mile race. In this episode of Through Their Stride, Kayla shares the full arc of her running journey — from how she first found running, to the confidence and strength the sport helped her build over time.

This is an honest, deeply human conversation that goes far beyond race results.

In this episode, Kayla talks about:

- How running became an escape — and eventually a source of confidence
- Winning 10 ultramarathons and what those victories have taught her
- What the Brazos Bend 100 was really like (she saw gators!)
- Why she wears costumes during races to lift spirits and bring joy to the trail

Kayla’s story is about resilience, joy, and choosing to keep moving forward — even when things are hard.
