Des Linden is always a fun interview. This is an interview that we did with Des last year. Des is competing for the ninth time on Monday, April 18, 2022 at
the BAA Boston Marathon. One of the finest competitors in American distance running, Des competed at cross country, track and has made her name on
the roads for the past fifteen years.

Des Linden was just named as Brooks Running’s Chief Running advisor. We wish Des great luck on Monday. She knows the course well, and truth is,
she knows how to pick people off over the last six miles, the best part of her race.
Never underestimate Des Linden.
