In this episode, I sit down with Carson Hockersmith—a former D1 track & cross country standout at the University of Oklahoma—about her incredible journey from a young girl dreaming of the track to a rising force in long-distance running.
Carson’s competitive fire earned her two collegiate wins (including a mile victory at Texas Tech and a 5k triumph at OU’s home meet), but her story didn’t stop there. Now, she’s taken on a new challenge: conquering the marathon. She opens up about:
Her lifelong love of running (starting in elementary school!)
The highs of collegiate racing and the lessons from D1 competition
Why she transitioned to long-distance—and how her speed background fuels her marathon success
The mental and physical shift from track laps to 26.2 miles
Whether you’re a competitive runner, a marathon hopeful, or just love a great athletic journey, Carson’s story will inspire you to push further.
