Some of the best conversations I've ever had have taken place while running with others. Over the course of several miles, the conversations are allowed to flow freely and cover a variety of topics. And that's what I try to do with my podcast.

  • Dustin Riedesel

    One of Diz’s best interviews. Maybe taking time off from the weekly long podcasts will work out better for you. This was an excellent interview

  • Applicable even to non runners

    I don’t actually run any longer. I’ve put all my eggs in the competitive swimming basket and yet I still get a lot of value from Diz and the podcast. The life advice, the general training advice, and the positivity are all applicable even though I’ve shifted my sports focus. So I wholeheartedly recommend the podcast to anyone on a fitness and training journey.

  • Usually very helpful and entertaining

    While I usually enjoy Denny, sometimes he needs to do a little bit more homework and peoples issues. This last show referring to fueling is an example. He should leave it to the nutritionist’s. Yes, you can overdo, but underfueling cannot leave you fighting to finish and slows down recovery.

  • Seems like a nice guy. 🤣

    Great interviews coverings all types of running and runners. I’m a beginner runner and I truly enjoy this podcast. Updated 12/16/22. Well it has been a few years since my first review. I’ve been listening to Denny as I’ve gone from 5ks and half marathons then to my one marathon and then moved to ultra marathons. I’ve gone from road to trails and Denny still has good information with his not so quick tips and interviews.
