363. Des Linden, Ultramarathoner & 50K Record Holder

"Things can go off the rails quick. So as much as you want to be confident and feel like it's gonna be easy, that's not how this works."

Des Linden, Olympian and 2018 Boston Marathon champion, is officially an ultramarathoner. And not just an ultramarathoner: a record-setting ultramarathoner. Last week, Des made her ultra debut, racing a 50K in Oregon, and breaking a world record in the process. She finished in 2:59:54, beating the previous world record (held by Aly Dixon) by more than seven minutes, averaging a 5:47 per mile pace, and becoming the first woman to ever run a 50K in less than three hours. On this episode, Des recaps the race and talks about what it was like running in unknown-to-her territory. She shares what it takes to annoy her on the run, tells all about "The Shoey" tradition, and talks about what's most intriguing to her right now.
