This episode features elite runner Ari Hendrix and how she is refinding her joy in the sport.

This is Ari’s second time on the podcast; her first appearance was back on December 1, 2023. At that point in time, she was putting the finishing touches on her preparation for the 2024 Olympic Trials Marathon.

That earlier episode covered her running journey to that point: how Ari got into running and how she first broke three hours in the marathon, which happened back in 2018. That accomplishment put Ari on The List, an accounting of all the American-born African-American women who have broken three hours in the marathon.

Ari would go on to smash that time, eventually running 2:35 at the California International Marathon ( CIM) in 2022. And that's the race that qualified her for the Olympic Trials Marathon (the qualifying time for the OTM was 2:37).

In this episode, Ari catches us up with everything that happened since the last time she was on the podcast, up to today.

There have been a lot of changes, including a period when Ari considered ending her racing career altogether. Today, however, she’s looking forward to racing her first 100km trail race at the Javelina Jundred, October 25, 2025.

How Ari got from running the 2024 Olympic Trials Marathon to this point is what this part of her running story is all about.
