RunHard Podcast | Ep. 02 - Why We Started Running (Late) and What Keeps Us Going

In this second episode of the RunHard Podcast, brothers Cody and Reist open up about how they actually got into running—and why they didn’t start until later in life. From that brutal first mile to the moments that made it all worth it, they share the stories, setbacks, and soul behind their running journey.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought:
“I’m not a runner.”
“I’m too out of shape to start.”
Or: “Why does running matter anyway?”

Spoiler: it’s not about how fast you go—it’s about why you keep going.

🧵 Topics Include:

• The story behind our first runs (and what hurt most)

• What finally made it click

• How running impacts faith, fatherhood, and health

• Advice for people who think they can’t run

• Why we’re still lacing up—years later
