26.2 Questions with Des Linden

Before she heads for New York, we got to visit Des at home and ask her everything on our minds.

"my ex-boyfriends ego" lmaoooooooooooo

Really should do more 26.2 questions! I love it!

[@krissifadwa]

Her humor is excellent lol

[@rgdos1162]

That's my kind of girl! She's beautiful, smart, fast, loves coffee, and enjoys the finer things in life. What a stunner!

[@aaardvarkkk]

My hero. America's hero.

[@Deadbuck73]

So ... run like the wind, drink some great bourbon, and get some sleep... if only it were that easy! 😂 YOURE AWESOME DES!!!

[@kristinlake3573]

We love you Des!

[@tyleru7579]

Why is this video sooo short!!! I need more!!!

[@JAHinHK]

10 to 12? My goodness!

[@MrRikkiRocket]

And she's a night owl - does she sleep all day then? Need some follow-up lol

[@ayouba5073]

its a challenge 😂 me its sub 9h is my PR

[@randyevermore9323]

It's essential when you're training at level. I remember reading that Salazar slept only around 7-1/2 hr/night when he was running for Oregon and thinking that wasn't nearly enough, considering the intensity and volume of his training. As it turns out, it wasn't.

[@flutetubamorg]

Sleep is a very valuable part of elite athletes' training regimen

[@ddebenedictis]

The combination of night owl + 10-12 hours sleep seems incompatible with best time to run is "first thing in the morning"...unless her "morning" starts at 2pm.

[@redson4994]

She’s so underrated

[@dalezapple2493]

Michigan Tough yes! I believe it right when I get after another Michigan winter bicycle commute.

[@richardwein9753]

Love It!

[@coffeeprincess25]

This is better than vogue 73 questions, by far!! Did any other athletes do this?

[@nezra3514]

10-12??? WOW....

[@eljay1899]

I bet Atlas and Boston are hoping for a new addition to the Linden fam: New York the pug!

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

Why would anyone get a pug? The poor things can’t breathe. That’s the opposite dog of what a runner would get. Chihuahuas are healthy small dogs (with snouts). They are so quiet and don’t snore. They live to 20 years old.

[@jamesball5743]

Bad ass.

[@ayooo9770]

Personally, I prefer the ravenna

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

Don’t talk to runners before they run. 😉

[@GUnit12315]

I get like 8 -9 hours where is the

[@beauhalliday9496]

one big advert

[@7rlalko]

OMG, I ALWAYS WEAR BLACKS SOCKS, TOO.

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

I live in the NE, so never black socks (can’t see ticks)

[@pnonem666]

I tried to buy brooks but the seller was so rude to me I went with Asics. It’s insane that the company doesn’t care a rats ass about capturing a massively growing market... I mean forget premium customer service, brooks in India is a fucking joke. I’ve seen better behavior from bike mechanics

[@theNecksLevel]

Don't understand the need for so many pairs of running shoes.

[@nezra3514]

theNecksLevel thats because you have no idea, and thats ok. Just dont post stupid comments again.

[@robertdavis2449]

LOL! You sound like my wife!

[@chrismccoy4146]

Ever run over 3000 miles in a year?you go through a lot of shoes

[@duckface8425]

@@nezra3514 Just respond to the comment by providing them with the correct information instead of stroking your ego.💀💀💀

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

If you ran, you would know. They should have a recycling programs for running shoes though. I tried to contact one and never heard back.
