Episode 3 - Krissymmurphy

In the third episode of At Your Own Pace, host MikeRunsMarathons sits down with Krissy Murphy (@krissymmurphy) to explore a running journey that began with a simple 5K app and grew into 45 marathons, including multiple Boston qualifiers. Krissy shares how running evolved from something she did into something that helped shape who she is—mentally, emotionally, and within her community.The conversation dives into the mental battles runners face, the importance of consistency over motivation, and why running should be a source of joy rather than pressure. Krissy reflects on the role family and community have played in her journey, the freedom in redefining what it means to be a runner, and the value of taking breaks while still moving forward. This episode is a reminder that every runner’s story matters—and that the real magic of running often lives in the connections made along the way, no matter the pace.
