This isn't just a running video—it's a raw look at what it actually takes to chase a limit. If you've ever wondered how fast you could be, you'll want to watch this. | |

In this episode, Katelyn, Alex, and Michael sit down with Des Linden, who goes far beyond Boston 2018. We get into her ultra pivot (including Marathon des Sables prep, weight-vest runs in Michigan, and what she's actually chasing next), and the truth about where the sport stands today. It's honest, funny, and reflective—exactly what happens when you stop asking for race recaps and start asking what it all really felt like.
