In this engaging episode of DFW Running Talk, host Chris Detzel sits down with Jill Wolf, an accomplished marathon runner who shares her remarkable journey from high school cross country to becoming the 2023 Dallas Marathon champion. Jill candidly discusses her evolution as a runner - from early talent in high school to completely giving up running in college, before rediscovering her passion as an adult. Listeners will hear about her progression from a 1:56 half marathon to breaking the elite sub-2:50 marathon barrier, with all the triumphs and setbacks along the way. Jill offers valuable insights on marathon strategy, nutrition lessons learned the hard way, and the importance of smart racing over blindly chasing pace goals.

Her story of winning the Dallas Marathon on her home course provides an inspiring conclusion to a conversation filled with practical wisdom for runners of all levels.
