Des Linden looking for a new coach
Boston winner parts ways with longtime coaches Keith and Kevin Hanson
After doing some soul searching, I’ve made the decision to part ways with the Hansons team. I’m appreciative of Keith and Kevin’s guidance as well as the support of my former teammates. My journey forward is not yet charted, but every step is part of the process. #runhappy

Before her Boston win, Linden placed 7th in the marathon at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and second in the U.S. Olympic marathon trials during her relationship with the Hansons, who are based in Michigan.
At the time of publication, Linden was still listed as a Hansons athlete on the group’s website.
