"We" did it - Supporters Club Member Des Linden gets LetsRun its first world record

After Des wins Boston in April, I'm wondering what she can do at something longer. Comrades in August and then 100k after that!!!

I thought we hated Des Linden here

Ok... So why is letsrun being even partially credited with the wr? Kind of weird wording

Kudos to her though

Supporters Club member Des Linden is officially the world record holder at 50k.

How did “you” do anything? Des probably subscribed to Netflix, too. Did Netflix do it, too? HBO Max? Amazon Prine?

Glad she chose to get the record in an ultra distance as everyone on LetsRun knows to keep moving up in distance.

Des goes to Costco. I guess Costco did it, too!

1. She has to win Boston.

2. Comrades is a lot longer and in August 28,22 this year (for now)

3.100k is even longer than that.

50k is not really an ultra distance. Yes, everything above Marathon distance is technically an ultra but ultras start with 50 miles on trails and 100k on roads (okay Comrades is included as the oldest ultra in history)

Definitely, one of the weirdest threads on here in quite some time, and such a gobbelty-gook OP. It would make some sense if she actually tweeted this out herself, but apparently that hasn't happened and never will.

This is so cool…. Congrats to Des…..

In honor of this great event, I plan to double my support money to this site!

She read the "why i sucked in college" and "summer of malmo" threads.

Ahhhh......LetsRun posters. Never fail to disappoint. Way to represent!

Just doing the math here.

What kind of gloves does she run inthe rain in?

I’ve been coming here since 2000 or 1999 maybe 1998. About time.

Well done Des!
