      Can you guys PLEASE put her name in the title here? It’s disrespectful and probably sexist not to.

    i thought they photoshopped her eyes int he thumbnail🙇‍♂️

  3. Malcolm Ring

    November 3, 2019 at 3:47 am

    Every answer is vague

  4. Theseas Maroulis

    November 3, 2019 at 8:54 am

    4:36 for the thumbnail question.

    I don’t know why but I love that they left in those slightly long pauses she takes after each question

  7. Spazus

    November 3, 2019 at 4:01 pm

    She look like a mouse

  8. Oscar Maidana

    November 3, 2019 at 4:21 pm

    6:20 I used to have the same problem. I just activate my radio on the cellphone and, the time passes by.

    Very informative video. Thanks.

  10. FABIOh1976

    I loved the idea.
    Please, do more of these videos. For another areas too.

  12. VegetablesGoOff

    November 3, 2019 at 9:56 pm

    Thought the ‘hire a friend’ was going to be a joke, haha.
    You’re awesome Des, good Q&A, thanks

  13. Hoodmonger

    November 3, 2019 at 10:03 pm

    Sony many repeated questions with only a few variables, bad questions, good answers

  14. The Running Channel

    Love Des 😊

    It was a fluke that you won Boston! Get over it!

    I am exhausted listening to all that. 😓

  17. Josh Firlotte

    November 4, 2019 at 2:35 am

    I really like her humour. And liked the jock james response.

    Thanks for this

  19. Sam Wilkins

    November 4, 2019 at 3:09 am

    Anyone else have no idea who this is? If you can’t run a marathon in less than 2 hours, are you even really a marathon runner?

  20. Max Roth

    November 4, 2019 at 3:14 pm

    why didnt she admit that they pee themselves while running..

  21. Alex Gabriel

    November 4, 2019 at 3:27 pm

    I’ve run like 5 miles in my whole life, why am I even watching this

  22. Isaac McLean

    November 4, 2019 at 3:42 pm

    That sounds like a good idea I might try to run with a audiobook playing

  23. kevin mccombie

    What brooks are those on the table

  24. blacked mirror

    November 4, 2019 at 7:39 pm

    What’s the best way to enhance the runners high? That’s my question.

  25. blacked mirror

    November 4, 2019 at 7:46 pm

    So i hate to say this but you just are what you are. Its genetics, you can either run long distances or you can’t. If your at an unhealthy body mass sure, you will be able to get results but you can’t train your way to being a top marathoner without being born elite.

  26. Sandor Bako

    November 5, 2019 at 12:46 pm

    If she tapes her ears back, she can gain few seconds on the marathon

  27. Chakib Tsouli

    November 5, 2019 at 3:38 pm

    4:35 If you hate your Achilles tendon and were looking for a very quick way to tear them, do that “minimalist / barefoot running”.
    It’s one of the dumbest and most harmful trend in sports.

  28. Boolyman MC

    November 5, 2019 at 4:41 pm

    Boooooooring

  29. ChickenCoop

    November 6, 2019 at 5:11 am

  30. Be E

    November 6, 2019 at 9:05 am

    the “runner’s I want to die territory” made me laugh out loud hahahaha

  31. valentina castano

    November 6, 2019 at 11:19 am

    Why don’t you put her name on the title? She is very knowledgeable

  32. Elisha Banerjee

    November 6, 2019 at 1:12 pm

    Ehhhhh I love Des ❤️ ❤️

  33. Steph Lim

    November 6, 2019 at 2:13 pm

    we want her name in the title!

  34. Robert Organ

    November 6, 2019 at 4:18 pm

    This video is trash.

  35. R M

    November 6, 2019 at 5:39 pm

    this is an elite human trying to respond to very average humans

  36. CAIrondad

    November 6, 2019 at 6:12 pm

    My advice on water… ALWAYS carry with you on training runs… makes it feel easy by comparison in races when you don’t have that weight to carry…..

  37. Nathalie Calvano

    November 6, 2019 at 6:59 pm

    what is your favorite shoe for long runs

  38. Sasha Weston

    November 7, 2019 at 3:27 am

    She sounds EXACTLY like Ellen Paige in Juno omgggggg

  39. LordLenni

    November 7, 2019 at 11:00 am

    Her eyes are so big wowwwww

  40. J. Gulle

  41. urbro2

  43. ruben torres

    November 7, 2019 at 5:53 pm

    female version of Grant Fisher

  44. MrCliffhanger44

    November 7, 2019 at 7:06 pm

    Carbs are most important after a run. Protein and carbs together are ideal

  45. ForeverFishing

    November 7, 2019 at 10:34 pm

    Why she look like Alita Battle Angel

  46. AFLoneWolf

    November 7, 2019 at 11:18 pm

    Foam roll?

  47. Jason Tran

    November 8, 2019 at 7:38 am

    what are those running shoes? :O

  48. Miren Summers

    November 8, 2019 at 1:20 pm

    When you’re exercising, your body prevents you doing things like urinating and defecating so you won’t usually feel as though you need to wee during a run

  49. Ian Price

    November 8, 2019 at 2:38 pm

    I saw her running in the Boston Marathon!!!

  50. Rebecca Walsh

    November 8, 2019 at 5:40 pm

    That’s so cool I watched des run past me during the NYC marathon, she did great

  51. Toni-Ann Feliciano

    Dates are a great option for a caffeine sub

  52. Will Johnson

    I ran with this music for a while I don’t run with music anymore.

  53. Paula Salazar

    • Rachael

      Paula Salazar lmao same

  54. Liza Xayimpi

    November 9, 2019 at 12:32 pm

    In South Africa, (not sure about the rest of the world), you are not allowed to do road races with headphones or earphones, so it’s best to do your practice runs without music to get used to it. I learnt this the hard way. When I got disqualified at the end of a race. 🤣😢

  55. ivanna heredia

    November 9, 2019 at 11:33 pm

    she is so cooooool ! luv her

  56. ivanna heredia

    November 9, 2019 at 11:34 pm

    but also put her name in the title !!!!!!! SOS

  57. KOMROOK

    November 10, 2019 at 12:22 am

    Amazing she has ZERO charisma. She is such a plain Jane, but means well…I guess. Her fate is sealed. Sad.

  58. The Frontier Family

    November 10, 2019 at 4:44 am

    All of his applies to giving birth. Right gear, right prep, right recovery. I’ve done both, marathon and unmedicated birth, it seriously is like a marathon, except better reward…:)

  59. Justin C

    November 10, 2019 at 5:41 am

    I’ve never seen someone with eyes that big. Anyone else blown away?

  60. Nichelle Ritter

    November 10, 2019 at 6:10 am

    What do you consider long distance running? I run 4 to 5 km every day but it doesn’t seem long? Or is it? 😂

  61. sayapunyecite

    November 10, 2019 at 1:17 pm

    Hey, have you met Ted?

  62. Zerg Abstracto

    November 10, 2019 at 4:52 pm

    Nice answers, thank you. And put her name in the video.

  63. Let Me Think About It

    November 11, 2019 at 3:38 am

    Put her name in the title.
