Introduction
The Running Podcast That Actually Gets It
"DFW Running Talk" is what happens when someone who actually runs decides to showcase the absolute legends hiding in plain sight across the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. Elite coaches who'll make you realize your training plan is garbage. Local athletes posting times that'll hurt your feelings. "Everyday" runners who are secretly doing extraordinary things.
The Uncomfortable Truth About DFW Running
What You Won't Find Here: Generic advice about "listening to your body" or interviews with people who think running a 5K is a major life achievement.
What You Will Find: Stories that'll make you want to throw out your current training plan and start over. Strategies that actually work. The kind of local knowledge that turns good runners into great ones.
Fair Warning: After a few episodes, you're going to realize you've been thinking about running all wrong.
