Do you see what we did there? Maybe not...
This episode begins with Kara detailing her impromptu, "red-eye" drive to Minnesota, and the sleepy aftermath. Then, you get a proper pet update with fun stories from both Des and Kara on their furry and n... more
Yes, there was that other gimmicky meet this weekend, but we don't have time for that. There is real track to talk about it after all! Outdoor track is *finally* in swing, and there are some great story lines to discuss already.
First, Kara and Des... more
Cue the comments section. We think this one is going to get a lot of attention - good and bad.
It was a slower-news, running week, so there were a lot of angry runners arguing on social media about silly (?) things. Naturally, Des and Kara have to ... more

No thanks. Won’t be supporting.
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!
