A few months ago we mentioned Des Linden's book "Choosing to Run" being available on preorder in quick news.  We were sent an advanced copy of the book back in February and we really enjoyed it! We were also given the chance to have Des on the show to talk about it.  This is technically our second time having her on the show but last time was just for a few minutes when we covered the Falmouth Road Race. This time we talk about her feelings of having the book being ready to be sent to the masses, what makes a good coach both in sport and life, her experience returning to the Boston course after the bombing, thoughts on food as fuel, music, and much more! In case you haven't already, consider ordering a copy as it's a great story about an incredible athlete! 0:00 – 2:38 – Intro 2:38 – 8:04 – Quick News 8:04 – 9:12 – Content Preface 9:12 - 36:25 - Des Linden Interview 36:25 - End – Outro Next episode will be with an athlete competing in the second Savage Race point series event in Gainesville, Florida! ____ News Stories: Spartan Multilap Sprint Event in Bahamas No Spartan Race in Hawaii Nick Gagnon on the Appalachian Trail Matthew Fraser Baby Cerebral Palsy Marathon Antarctica Mountain FKT Mike Warden Guiness World Record Plan Jesse DeHeer 3rd Place at Crete de Spa 32K Mysterious Mexico Spartan Race Tuscaloosa Gauntlet Podiums Deka Fit NorCal Podiums Driving Secret Link Dart Secret Link Juggle Secret Link Doodle Secret Link Good Luck Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 85.
