The should-be day for the 2020 Boston Marathon, the perfect time to release my conversation with pro runner, two-time Olympian, and 2018 Boston champ, Des Linden. These days, she\\u2019s without a doubt leading the charge in American women\\u2019s distance running, and in episode 104 we talk about how she got there. Growing up in San Diego and then running at Arizona State, she knew from a young age that this sport was her sport. Today, she walks me through so many of her major career milestones, the good \\u2014 including that famous Boston win on the worst weather day ever \\u2014 and the bad \\u2014 the London Olympics, a tough second-place finish, and an entire month without lacing up her sneakers in the summer 2017 because it just wasn\\u2019t feeling right. Highlights: Her best advice for beginners, the biggest regret she has about this year\\u2019s Olympic marathon trials in Atlanta, and what\\u2019s next on her radar (!). Spoiler alert: This whiskey lover may need a new pair of Brooks track spikes.
