​Kristian Warwick only recently started running marathons. But it didn't take long for him to fall in love with the sport.

After qualifying for the Boston Marathon in his first race with a time of 2:52, this former speed skater knew this was something he wanted to invest his time in. And that, he has.

But not only does he love chasing big goals for himself (he eventually wants to run a 2:25 marathon... or faster), he also enjoys sharing the experiences of runners — whether elite or your everyday jogger — on his well-known podcast, ⁩The Marathon Podcast. Kristian has been a filmmaker and photographer for a long time, making beautiful videos and capturing perfect moments for his business, Wiild Studio, so storytelling is nothing new to him. And that's evident in the episodes he's published thus far.

However, sharing runners' stories isn't the only thing The Marathon Podcast has become known for. In conjunction with the podcast, he began offering The Marathon Podcast Sponsorship to up-in-coming elite runners who may not be sponsored yet.

In this episode, we break down how he got into running, what he's loved most about hosting the podcast, and how being the "weird kid" when you're little usually turns you into a successful and unique individual as you get older.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Kristian. If you do, please remember to like, comment, share, and subscribe. It helps me continue to tell the stories of runners in Texas and far beyond.

What starts as a single marathon can turn into something far bigger.

In this episode of Through Their Stride, I sit down with Carrie Fromme—a Canadian-born runner now living in Texas—whose journey into running quickly grew into a mission of purpose. After discovering her love for endurance, Carrie set her sights on using running as a force for good.

In 2025—and again in 2026—Carrie is taking on a 24-hour run as part of Hope Endures 24, raising money for children in Honduras. Last year, she ran over 60 miles and raised more than $23,000. This year, her goal is even bolder: 100 miles and $100,000 raised to create lasting impact.

Some episodes stay with you long after you stop recording — and this is one of those.

In this episode of Through Their Stride, I sit down with Faith Husmann and her dad, Cody Stewart, to talk about what it meant for them to run the Marine Corps Marathon together.

Faith’s running journey began years earlier, inspired by watching her dad take on a 50K when she was younger. Cody had already been running for years before that, but the biggest impact he made wasn’t a finish time — it was the example he set. Last year, Faith carved out her own milestone by running a sub-four-hour marathon at the Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio Marathon. This year, she lined up shoulder to shoulder with the man who inspired it all.

Cody is also a Marine Corps veteran, which made running the Marine Corps Marathon together even more meaningful — a race layered with service, legacy, and family.

This conversation goes beyond pacing strategies and race-day nerves. It’s about inspiration passed down, growth earned, and the power of sharing the miles with someone who helped shape who you are.

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

📍 Recorded just days after the Irving Frost Marathon
🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Because sometimes the best stride is the one you take together.

In this episode of Through Their Stride, I sit down with my friend Harper Keihl to talk about what it really looks like to fall in love with running — and how quickly life can change when you commit to the process.

Just over a year ago, Harper struggled through a 3-mile group run. Today, he’s run a 1:44 half marathon in Austin and is fully immersed in the Austin running community, training with Goodpain Athletics and chasing his next PR.

We talk about: • What finally made running “click”
• The mental shift that comes with consistency
• Training in Austin and finding the right people to grow with
• How goals evolve once you realize what you’re capable of

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re late to running, stuck at the beginning, or unsure if they belong. Harper’s story is proof that progress doesn’t take decades — it takes commitment.

Debuting in the new 910 Geist Ekiden Elite X racing shoes, two-time Olympic Trials qualifier and Illinois local Colin Mickow won the new San Antonio Marathon in a blazing 2:22:25.

In this episode of Through Their Stride, Colin joins host Sam Sutton to break down his race-day execution, his unique, high-mileage training regimen, and the path that brought him back to elite competition after taking several years away from running following his collegiate career at the University of Illinois.

From rediscovering his love for the sport to building durability through consistent volume, Colin shares what has played a major role in his marathon success. He also reflects on navigating the early miles of a brand-new course and deciding early on that this was going to be a race, not just a training run.

Whether you’re chasing a PR or simply love hearing the stories behind standout performances, this conversation offers insight, perspective, and inspiration.
