Third Time's the Charm: Jodi Jordan's Boston Marathon Journey
About this episode
Jodi Jordan shares her journey to the Boston Marathon, discussing her training, challenges, and the importance of community in running.
Dallas runner Jodi Jordan is back at Boston for her third time — and she's never felt more ready. In this conversation recorded live at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza the day before the 2025 Boston Marathon, Jodi shares how she went from partying on weeknights to qualifying for Boston with a 3:23 at St. George in 2015, the health scare that almost kept her from her second Boston, and how she's evolved into one of DFW's most consistent marathoners with a 2:57 Cowtown PR. She talks training with Coach Matt Campbell at Train Pegasus, balancing running with swimming and cycling, and why she believes enjoying the journey with your community matters more than obsessing over a BQ. Plus — kids on trampolines mid-race. You'll have to hear it to understand.
