Summary
I wanted to throw 2X Olympian into the title, too, but I think it started to get a little long. Happy Boston Marathon Day, the perfect day to welcome DES LINDEN back to the show! Had the honor of sitting down with Des live in Boston on Saturday night, and excited to bring this conversation to the feed for episode 203. The whiskey fan's third time on the show, Des and I chat about everything from her new role as Brooks Running's Chief Running Advisor to her goals for the sport going forward. Plus: How she's so "good" at keeping her blinders on and ignoring the haters, plus how she's conquered big hurdles in her career like injury and coming up short.
