- Des Linden is a professional runner for Brooks Running. She joins the Singletrack Podcast to talk about a range of topics including her interests in sports psychology, her nascent career as a commentator for NBC in their running broadcasts, and perhaps most notably to this audience - her intentions to transition from road marathons to trail and ultra running as early as next year.

I think Des is gonna bring fire to the trails!! Can't wait to see her run!
brooks trail running shoes joined the group..
been awhile brooks trail shoes being advertised in youtube/social media.
great interview..
It will be so cool to see Des in trail races in the future.
Des rules! Great interview. Would love to see her involved in the trail world.
Best wishes in Ultrarunning, you will love it!
Des! Des! Des!
This is so exciting!!
Great interview!
I remember her win at the 2018 Boston. Many of the loud mouths (like Sage Canaday) QUIT the race! Not only did she prove she was one tough cookie, she proved how soft a lot runners are, especially when the weather gets bad or they know they won't win or PB. Her raw talent and hardness will be a force to be reckoned with in the ultra trail world.
Me and my daughter (both running fans) walked right past Des in Chamonix and we were both star stuck :)
She wants to do UTMB but I want to see her do some of the older ultras like Comrades, JFK, and Western States. Not only do they have a longer history in our sport but her road skills could really challenge the runners there.
Triathlon will be next :)
She should run the Pikes Peak ascent ...no downhills!
I'd love to see that
What's F1?
Formula 1 auto racing
Ah. Thanks. I knew the term Formula 1. That's what they do in Monaco, I wasn't making the connection in my brain and thought it was a running thing.
Nienke Brinkman anyone? You can be top contender real fast if you are thát talented. I would not be surprised if Des Linden will also be top notch real fast..
