What if you didn’t start running until later in life — and still ran a 3:35 marathon? Well, this runner did just that.

In Episode 3 of the Strides Through H-Town series on Through Their Stride, I’m joined by Krystle Hodge, Houston Marathon Ambassador and three-time Houston Marathon finisher. Krystle ran a huge PR of 3:35:29, all without a background in competitive sports.

We talk about:

  • Starting running later in life and pushing past the mental hurdles
  • Battling imposter syndrome as a runner
  • Why community matters more than pace
  • Sharing the highs and lows of running on social media


If you’ve ever questioned whether you “belong” in the running world, this episode is for you.
