KATIE BAKSA: Olympic Trials Marathoner, Mom, & Founder of Bound Running Co.

Earlier this year I ran a rust-buster half-marathon. I heard someone say something about golden retrievers (we have 3, currently about to get a 4th) so I had to chime in. The person talking was Katie Baksa, founder of Bound Running Co.

A phenomenal runner, Katie was pacing a couple of friends so I joined. She took great care of us & I got to interrogate her about Bound and her running journey. It was so fascinating, the miles flew by AND I told myself--I got to share her story.

Katie is an Olympic Trials marathoner and social scientist. Her clothing brand is built on the belief that running is more than a sport—it's a shared journey. The motto, “When we run together, we go beyond,” captures the what Bound stands for: community.

In this episode, we explore:

🌀Her running breakthrough & experience qualifying and running the Olympic Trials Marathon
🌀How being a mom affected her running
🌀Why she founded Bound & what sets it apart
🌀and learn about a severe injury she sustained from a fall while running & how that has impacted her perspective on life.

After hearing her story, you'll see how much you can gain from the running community.
