Ep. 16: Tate & Taylor Mauldin: Finding Stronger Strides Together

Running didn’t start as a shared passion for Taylor and Tate Mauldin — in fact, it didn’t even start as a passion at all.

In this episode of Through Their Stride, Taylor shares how she first turned to running for wellness, structure, and mental clarity. Tate, admittedly reluctant at first, eventually joined her on the roads and trails… only to discover he was surprisingly good at it. What began as individual motivation quickly turned into a shared pursuit — and a deeper connection.

Their journey hasn’t been without challenges. Just days before toeing the line at the Irving Frost Marathon, both battled sickness, and Taylor endured a frightening setback after being bitten by a dog on a long run. Still, they showed up, leaned on each other, and finished the race together — a powerful reminder that running is about far more than pace or placement.

This conversation is about wellness, partnership, resilience, and how running side by side can strengthen a relationship in ways neither of them expected.

🎧 Listen in for:
- Finding running through wellness, not competition
- A reluctant partner discovering unexpected talent
- Training, racing, and recovering together
- Overcoming setbacks and still showing up
