Why Not Me?: The Road To 45 Marathons w/ Krissy Murphy

Krissy Murphy didn’t grow up as an athlete. She started running in her early 20s with a Couch to 5K plan, thinking it might be a one-time thing. But somewhere between a spontaneous 10K, a Disney half marathon, and a first marathon in Richmond, something shifted and she realized she belonged in this world. What started as a way to move her body turned into a long-term relationship with the marathon.

In this episode, Krissy shares what it looked like to build from the ground up, how she handled the highs and lows of her first marathon (including losing her music mid-race), and what’s kept her coming back through 45 marathons. It’s a story about letting go of perfection, staying curious, and deciding to go for it when something feels just out of reach.
