We managed to convince Des Linden to stop running for a moment to speak to us about her best-selling memoir Choosing to Run, the important role American college sports play in U.S. elite athletic development, and the leadership role she has taken on to grow the sport of distance running with key partners, like Brooks Running. Come for the insights shared by Boston Marathon champion, 2x Olympian, world record holder, and Sun Devil Hall of Famer Des Linden, stay for the beautiful background of Chapultepec Park in Mexico City!
I’m a great believer, and I say this cautiously, that nobody has the exclusivity on progress. We all learn from each other.
