Summary
It's been a crazy three weeks for Des and Kara, and now they are happy to be home and sleeping in their own beds with their Lagoon pillows.
In this episode, they recap all that was the London Marathon from their live pod with Cynthia Erivo to Des's run with CB to the blazing-fast elite races. Of course, they keep it real with their takes on the sub 2 and the women's only WR. Some of you (guys in particular) might not like their takes, but that's why we love them. They call it like they see it!
Plus, they share their perspectives on the shocking 2:05 race at the Glass City Marathon in Toledo, including the fun implications for the men's marathon trials in 2028. Hello Vinny Mauri... welcome to the scene with a US debut record!
Thank you to our sponsors for this episode: Ketone-IQ and Lagoon Sleep. They both help Kara and Des keep going (in very different ways) through these crazy weeks.

| 0:44.4 | because we flew back through Boston. We left some bags there. It was a whole travel thing, |
| 0:51.1 | but like flying from Detroit ended up being way more expensive because it was like to Boston from anyways. It was like a multi-city trip. So you just went back to Boston, grabbed bags that we left at a friend's house and then had like a long layover till we left at like 5 p.m. Ironically, we just like started doing stuff. We went and got lunch. And then we were like, oh my God, we're going to miss the flight. We're so, we like, barely made it on. I was like, I will kill myself if we miss this. But we made it on, flew back to Detroit. And then the dogs are staying up in Northern Michigan. So Ryan's like, I'm just going to drive straight up.
