Des Linden has been pretty busy this April.
On Sunday, Linden averaged 7:02 per mile to run 3:04:24 at the London Marathon while pacing a friend, capping off a total of 220 miles of racing this month. Six days prior, she ran 2:35:49 to finish 30th in the women's division at the Boston Marathon, and a week before Marathon Monday, Linden completed the six-stage, 168-mile Marathon des Sables through the Sahara Desert.

The 2018 Boston Marathon champion returned to Boylston Street once again—this time competing in the mass field. A week after finishing the six-stage Marathon des Sables, Des Linden raced to a 2:35:49 finish at the 2026 Boston Marathon, and also paced her husband, Ryan.
