When you two talk about aging as athletes, kind of funny. Been running and competing since 1973, integrating the “boys” XC team. Love that you talk about PED’s, super shoes, life, and post life as elite (no shade) athletes. Makes those of us who just keep on doing it and are still figuring out the aging thing feel like we’re still blazing a trail… for you all.
Des and Kara started Nobody Asked Us right when I started running more consistently and training for my first marathon. I look forward to each new episode, their intros, their dynamic, their “long short” episodes, their laughter, their updates, and their willingness to give us a piece of themselves. Thank you for all of it. It’s cool to be connected to the worlds of ladies as impressive as these two. Can’t wait to come to a live show. Please keep doing what you’re doing and being as real as you ... more
Thank you for comments about Minneapolis on today’s pod. Just proves again that runners are good people.
Went back today to listen to the episode where you interviewed Lauren Fleshman because I’m reading her book, and you guys have really come a long way in your podcasting skills! I’ve loved you from the start, but you guys really nailed it intro now!
Love getting to hear about running from Des and Kara’s perspective. Keep them coming…even if it’s from an elitist view. 😂
