DFW Running Talk
Share
I started DFW Running Talk because I believed our running community had stories worth telling. Turns out I was right.
Every week we're sitting down with runners from across the Metroplex — hearing about their journeys, their races, their grind. DFW Running Talk is the premier podcast for runners in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Host Chris Detzel delivers weekly episodes featuring in-depth conversations with North Texas running experts, coaches, athletes, and community members. From beginner tips to advanced ma
Pacing races is incredibly fulfilling, like being a cheerleader for others reaching their goals. I've paced many halves and even a marathon (once!). It's fun to encourage people, whether they hit a PR or just finish.

The Countdown to the Cup 5K Fun Run didn’t disappoint! Thanks to Eric Lindberg DFWRUNS for putting on an amazing one of a kind 5k race and party!
Great to see Jose, Lea, Andy, Roberto, Trong, Theo, Rosie and several others!
At our age, it's about more than just living faster; it's about living better. We want to feel healthy, energetic, and truly enjoy life's adventures. It's about being present for family, from watching kids grow to meeting grandkids. Every run, every effort, makes that future possible.
Discover the immense joy found in the running community. It's not just about personal success, but the incredible people you meet and the friendships you build along the way. These connections truly enrich the journey.
Neil shares his experience at the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, a powerful fundraiser. He was deeply moved by the city's 'Run to Remember' spirit, the diverse music, and the community's incredible support for their city.

🏃 NEW EPISODE: Neil Robinson🏃
A 40-minute marathon PR. A 1:30:56 half at Cowtown. A Boston Qualifier at 52 years old.
Here's the kicker — Neil was the worst guy on his high school tennis team, quit running entirely after blowing out his knee in grad school, and didn't even consider himself "a runner" until his late 40s.
What changed? Nothing flashy. More miles (950 → 1,450 → 1,960 over three years), better nutrition, the Pfitzinger books, and Saturday mornings with the White Rock Running Co-op.
His best line of the whole episode: "The unfriendly runners are staying home. The ones who show up are kind." 💛
If you think your fastest days are behind you, give this one a listen. Neil's proof they might be ahead of you.
