What’s Up, Runners!
Welp, after five incredible years filled with amazing guests, enlightening conversations, and more fun than we ever thought we’d have, we’ve decided to sunset The BibRave Podcast. Today's episode is #260 and the Grand Finale!
We originally created the show as a way for BibRave to contribute to the larger conversation around running, hoping to find and connect with new people, stories, and movements. After 260 episodes we feel so blessed to check every one of those boxes several times over. We’ve chatted with some of the biggest names in running, helped elevate stories that were under-represented or under-appreciated, and we’ve learned so much from all of our guests and listeners. Tim, Jess, and all of the rotating cast of characters are so grateful for the time you’ve spent with us in your ears, and we’re going to miss chatting you up through all those miles.
Why are we ending the show? Well, that’s what Episode 260 is all about. Tim and Jess talk about the larger business demands at BibRave, and how it’s truly incumbent upon us to evolve and focus on our growing business needs. As the saying goes, “We can do anything we want, we just can’t do everything we want.”
Thank you again for being a loyal listener and supporter of The BibRave Podcast. We are so, so appreciative of all the time you’ve given us over the years, and we’ll miss you all. Until we meet again IRL!

Here’s the latest episode of The BibRave Podcast, featuring long-time guest and our leading source for improved mental health, Dr. Justin Ross!
Dr. Ross is a clinical psychologist specializing in health and wellness psychology, human performance, and sport psychology. He’s a regular on The BibRave Podcast and has been the star of some of our favorite episodes.
Today, Tim and Jess talk with Dr. Ross about Pandemic Flux Syndrome - the phenomenon we’re all experiencing the features starkly different sets and ranges and types of feelings — dulled emotions followed by anxiety and depressive spikes, the need to drastically change something about our lives, basically a teeter-totter of emotions.
Dr. Ross helps us define and control the negative elements of Pandemic Flux Syndrome, providing interesting points of reflection and action items to take control of our minds and emotions.
This episode is sponsored by and features a really cool interview with the Founder of MANTRA Labs, Paul Janowitz. MANTRA Labs is a Texas-based nutrition brand with a social mission to improve mental health resources. MANTRA Labs hydrates better with an industry-leading 1,200+ mg of 6 electrolytes (natural oceanic electrolytes, marine minerals and vitamins) but NO sugar and nothing artificial.
Listen to the end to hear Jess chat with Paul about MANTRA Labs as a company and sports supplement brand. As Jess and Tim discuss in the intro, MANTRA Labs has some pretty powerful options in their nutritional arsenal, so definitely check them out for your hydration, sleep, or energy needs!

We’re stoked to bring you the latest episode of The BibRave Podcast, featuring Knockaround Founder, Adam “Ace” Moyer!
In a How I Built This-styled episode, Tim chats with Ace and Liam Norman (leading voice of the brand) about the company's founding over 15 years ago and what makes the brand tick. It’s a delightful convo featuring two really thoughtful but laid-back guys who are clearly working exactly where they should be.
Founded in 2005 when Ace was studying visual arts at UC-San Diego, Knockaround started from humble yet inspiring beginnings, eventually becoming a multi-million dollar lifestyle brand and business. If you’re into start-up success stories or just learning more about how a brand grows and lives and breathes, you’ll love this episode.

What’s Up, Runners!
For this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast, we’re bringing back our resident dietician and badass runner extraordinaire, Katie Hynes!!
Tim, Jess, and Katie talk about a lot of diet-related issues, but they really focus on vegan and vegetarian diets. There are a lot of misconceptions about each, both positive and negative, and the three talk through the nuances of how each diet can work for runners. And for all the omnivores out there (like Tim & Jess), there’s a lot of great overall nutrition advice too!
They discuss why Katie had been vegan for so long but is now “flexitarian,” where most vegans and vegetarians get their protein, and the importance of complete proteins, specific protein powders, leucine, and other key nutrients.

We have such a fun and interesting episode of The BibRave Podcast that we decided to give it to you early! Tim and Jess are talking with Jay Holder, recently back from the Tokyo Olympics where he worked as Deputy Venue Media Manager for the Olympic Stadium. In this episode, Jay gives us the inside scoop on what can only be called the weirdest Olympics ever!
Jay’s duties in Tokyo covered everything from building out press operations (for all Athletics competition as well as Opening/Closing Ceremonies), coordinating press seats for each Athletics competition, moderating all post-competition medal press conferences, and so much more! Jay also works as Marketing and Communications Director for the Atlanta Track Club, so his experience and skills were perfectly suited to support the Olympics in a COVID world.
Jay’s high-level role in coordinating media and athlete interviews throughout the Tokyo Olympics gave him the perfect access to all of the best “behind the scenes” stories. He was in Tokyo for 9 weeks total, the first 16 days of which were under an extremely strict quarantine. Jay did an amazing job sharing his experience in real time via his Instagram account, and we’re thrilled that he was able to chat with us to share more details! If you love the Olympics, you are definitely going to want to give this one a listen!

Big episode of The BibRave Podcast for you this week as we roll into coverage of the Tokyo Olympic Marathon. The women and men race next Saturday and Sunday respectively, so we brought on baller-Olympian, Jared Ward, for some insight and analysis!
As a quick refresher, Jared represented Team USA at the Rio Olympics in 2016. He absolutely crushed it on race day and finished 6th - a spectacular showing and an amazing moment in his career! Tim and Jared talk about Tokyo, what runners can expect from being at the Olympics, how the Olympics differ from a Major Marathon, the weather in Sapporo, the field and whom to watch, the course, and more!

We’re so excited to welcome Dean Karnazes to this episode of The BibRave Podcast! Dean is someone we’ve known about for a long time but have only recently gotten to know. In short, this man is a fountain of youth (which we discuss) and his latest book has so much to offer ALL types of runners or athletes.
Dean’s newest book, A Runner’s High isn’t a book about Dean’s long-distance running exploits (of which there are MANY), nor is it a book promoting distance running. But it is about the struggle of aging as our minds and bodies come into conflict, and we talk a lot about these kinds of conflicts (especially where biological age and chronological age divert).
Dean is an amazing guy with so many great stories, and he’s truly one of the best ambassadors for our sport. We hope you check out A Runner’s High and that you enjoy this episode!

We’re stoked to bring you another episode of The BibRave Podcast! Today we’re welcoming back Dr. David Harmon (aka Cholesterol Dave from past episodes) to talk all about Vitamin D!
Dr. Dave gives Tim & Jess the scoop on this essential micronutrient, including the history of Vitamin D and how it’s detected and measured. They also dive into the function Vitamin D serves – why do we need it, what happens when we are deficient, and how do we make sure we get enough of this bomb vitamin (🐟🍳😉).

Such a fun interview in this episode of The BibRave Podcast! Tim and Jess talk with Mikah Meyer who - in case you missed his 3-year, world record road trip to all 419 U.S. National Park Service sites - was also the first openly gay man featured in an Outdoors Recreation Campaign (which he did with REI).
The three talk about Mikah’s experience traveling across the country to all of the National Parks and also running across Mississippi and Minnesota. Mikah shares his passion for making the outdoors a safe space for everyone, and why certain groups feel excluded or worse when the environment isn’t clearly welcoming for all.
Have you ever had to worry about whether or not it was safe to hold your loved one’s hand in a park or on a trail? Mikah has and he’s made it his life’s work to erase that worry for others.

We’re so excited to welcome trailblazing transathlete, Chris Mosier to The BibRave Podcast!
Chris Mosier is an amazing hall of fame triathlete, All-American duathlete, and a 6-time member of Team USA. In 2015, he became the first known transgender man to represent the United States in international competition and was the catalyst for change for the International Olympic Committee policy on transgender athletes. He is also a 2x National Champion and the first transgender athlete to compete in the Olympic Trials in any sport in a category different than their sex assigned at birth.
Tim and Jess host Chris for a fascinating and educational conversation about transgender issues as they relate to all sports - especially at the youth level. No matter where you stand on the subject (or where you think you stand), this is a really important conversation the delves into the recent legislation and controversy surrounding transgender athlete rights and access to sport.

We welcome podcast fav and ultrarunning legend, Ian Sharman, back to the show this week! Ian recently hosted Tim and Jess at his home in Bend where the three discussed a ton of running-related topics (including Ian razzing Tim for not running or racing more 😏).
They talk about the new show Ian is hosting, Podium Runner Endurance, his coaching business (Sharman Ultra Coaching, which had a banner 2020), stories of newly-minted ultra runners, how Ian helps people enter the sport, and running adversity (mental and physical). As usual, Ian delivers with interesting insights, running commentary, and an amazing overall perspective on running and life.

This week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast is all about celebrating and preserving our body’s largest organ - our skin!
Tim and Jess talk with their friend and fellow runner, Dr. Kelly Griffith-Bauer, MD - a Board Certified Dermatologist and Mohs surgeon! They discuss everything related to skin such as various skin types, different types of sunblock, best practices for care and protection (especially for runners), and the consequences of neglecting sun protection.
Obviously, this is a topic that affects all runners, regardless of pigmentation (they discuss that too), so there are a ton of useful takeaways. Bottom line - don’t mess around with the sun because you do NOT want to go see Dr. Bauer. 😬

Tim and Jess welcome back Episode 196’s guest and the newest member of Team BibRave, Tony Yamanaka. Tony joins this episode more as a co-host than as a guest (even though he still gets the breakfast question), and the three chat about the latest and greatest new podcasts they have been listening to. Tim and Jess are particularly excited about their new fav (gotta listen to find out), and Tony shares a few fresh choices to consider for your next long run!

Super excited for y’all to check out this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast! Tim and Jess talk with Jenny Jurek - one of our favs - who is an accomplished runner, climber, designer, author, and everything in between. Jenny shares the highs and the lows she experienced while crewing for her husband, Scott, on his Appalachian Trail FKT back in 2015.
In the book she co-wrote with Scott, (NORTH - highly recommend!), Jenny wrote about some of her experiences as an Asian-American female in a part of the country that - frankly - doesn’t see a lot of people that look like her. She discusses those stories with Tim and Jess, as well as some of the backlash she experienced from sharing and writing about those stories 5+ years ago.
In addition to the other accolades above, Jenny is also a super mom who just casually takes her kids bike-packing around Japan. She is also an entrepreneur with a super exciting line of maternity products for runners coming out soon! Lots of great stuff here so hopefully you guys enjoy it!

Can’t wait for you to check out this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast! Tim and Jess talk with Mike Nishi, Chief Operating Officer of Chicago Event Management (CEM) - the company that puts on the Bank of America Chicago Marathon (among other events)!
As a Chicago native, Mike’s long history with the Chicago Marathon is fascinating (his childhood story of running it for his first time is mind-blowing). The fact that his company is now responsible for the herculean task of operating the race of more than 40,000 people gives his story even more cachet.
In addition to discussing all things Chicago, Marathon, and CEM, the three discuss issues that are top of mind as we enter Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May. Mike talks about what it was like being a Japanese American in Chicago from the 70s, through to the present day, and he and Jessica discuss some of their difficulties processing and reacting to recent attacks against Asian Americans in this country.

We’re super excited to bring you this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast - another insightful conversation between Jessica, Julia, and frequent podcast guest, Dr. Stacy Sims. Dr. Sims is an exercise physiologist, a nutrition scientist, and an expert in sex differences in training, nutrition, and health.
In this conservation, the trio dive into all things hormones and our favorite topic that we hate to love - aging. Dr. Sims does a wonderful job explaining the differences between sex hormones and how they impact performance, fueling, and recovery with age. By understanding our bodies’ natural aging process, we can better optimize our fuel, training, and recovery to hit our goals - whether they are centered around performance, body composition, or general health. If you want to know how to maximize your training as you get older, you’ll definitely want to give this episode a listen!

In this week’s episode, Tim, Jess, and Andy give listeners a behind-the-scenes peek into our recent BibRave Ambassador summit, which was held virtually for the second time and hosted on a new platform. Spoiler - we had an amazing time!
From social media best practices to Trivia Night, an AMA with Tim and Jess, and recognizing recipients of the Zestie Award (given to BibRave Ambassadors who’ve been with us for 5 years or more!), the summit was a huge success, and T, J, & A spill all of the fun details.
They also share the deets on the new tech and tools, such as Hopin, Clubhouse, Cappuccino, and even Marco Polo, that Team BibRave used to pull-off the virtual summit. Special thanks to Knockaround for protecting everyone’s eyes with amazing custom Blue Light Blockers, and to Science in Sport for powering the summit with Turbo+ Gels and Sleep Plus Drink Mix!

Get ready for this week’s episode because it’s a doozy!
First, Tim and Jess share some of the reactions they received from the Unlife Your Life episode, most of which really surprised them. They also discuss a few more ULYL issues that came to mind throughout their discussion, and it’s a great expansion on what turned out to be a very popular convo!
The next topic is about #AsianHate, how it’s affected Jessica as an Asian American, and the incredible complexity behind racial issues today. Between how to feel, what to think, what to say, and when to say it, Jessica shares her insights on topics she has grappled with her whole life.
Lastly, Tim and Jess talk with Ashley Cossairt, Interim Executive Director at Run Wild Missoula and Race Director of the Missoula Marathon. As many of you know, we lost our dear friend and former Executive Director of Run While Missoula - Tony Banovich - last year. Since that time, Ashley has been shouldering a lot of the load previously carried by Tony. Big shoes to fill, but as you can tell from this convo, Ashley is a natural and the race that’s always been a top Marathon on The BibRave 100 is in good hands!!
This episode is sponsored by The Missoula Marathon! All events are virtual – Full, Half, and 5K, and they’re bringing the race to you with the Missoula Runner Box - loaded with Missoula and Montana-specific goodies for all participants! Race weekend is from June 25 - 27 and you can use code "BR2021" for $5 off Half/Full entry!

We’re super excited to bring you this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast - Tim and Jess welcome Native Women Running Founder, Verna Volker to the show!
Native Women Running is an organization dedicated to encouraging Native women runners in the running community and amplifying their voices on and off the reservation. Verna started the group in 2018 and has seen it grow in both size and influence.
Tim & Jess talk with Verna about important issues like mascots and representation, the history of the Navajo, her pride in her Native language, disproportionate violence and unsolved murders against Native women, land acknowledgment, and the overlap between the issues facing Native women and those faced by other minority populations.
The conversation provides invaluable insight into how Native women runners are viewed, judged, or overlooked altogether. Verna does a wonderful job representing her cause, educating listeners on the challenges Native women face, and sharing actionable tips for how ALL runners, regardless of where they fit into the running industry, can support Native women runners.

On this week’s episode, Tim and Jess welcome an old friend and a new expert to The BibRave Podcast! Mark Colpoys, Senior Race Director/VP Event Production at EnMotive/Ventures Endurance, joins the show to share his take on racing during COVID and beyond.
Tim and Jess have known Mark since the EARLY days of BibRave when Mark was working as the main race director at Fleet Feet Chicago. Their first meeting was a bit… standoffish, and the trio have a good laugh at how Mark was a bit skeptical of BibRave back then.
Mark has directed MANY races across the country, varying in event size, market, distance, age, theme, and every other variable. He talks about how directing races changed after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, and how that experience might give us a glimpse into what racing is like post-COVID.
He also shares what it’s been like to support races during the pandemic, and how things vary not just from state-to-state but also from city-to-city. Mark and his team have experienced everything from “mask shaming” (i.e. “Why are you wearing a mask!?!?”) to hyper-vigilance and everything in between, so his perspective is really interesting.

We’ve got something different for you on this week’s installment of The BibRave Podcast. This episode is all about reexamining some of the choices society bakes into our lives. Think: going to college, buying a house, what job you take, etc.
This is a subject Tim and Jess care deeply about, not because they’ve always bucked convention but because they HAVEN’T and (at times) have lived to regret it. So many of the big life choices we make are either permanent or have a LONG-lasting impact on our happiness, identity, career prospects, relationships, and so on.
Nothing they talk about is meant to be preachy or judgey or anything like that. But they just wanted to share a discussion about some of these life choices that don’t get enough consideration and encourage everyone to stop more often and think, “Wait, but why?”

This week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast features a peek behind the BibRave curtain! Tim, Jess, and Andy give us the scoop on the recent work offsite that they (along with Julia!) were lucky enough to attend… in Hawaii!
Tim and Jess are housesitting in Hawaii (it's rough, we know!) and with strict attention to the state's COVID regulations, they were able to bring the BibRave leadership team together for the first time in over a year. Tim, Jess, and Andy discuss the topics and projects the team tackled, and they drop a lil’ teaser on some fun new things to expect from BibRave in the next few weeks!
They also talk about the current state of Andy’s running (Marathon training!), how he’s been handling the extremely cold Chicago temps this year (spoiler - he’s surprisingly LOVING the cold!), and what’s in store for each of their running futures this year.

This week on The BibRave Podcast, we welcome Nathan Martin, an incredible human who defied countless setbacks and challenges to run the fastest Marathon ever run by a Black man born in the United States (2:11:05!). Tim and Jess had an amazing conversation with Nathan that dug into not only his training and racing regime but also his thought process and how he views running as a part of his life, rather than his defining element.
This week’s episode is sponsored by WhitePaw RunMitts, a small, woman-owned, black-owned business that was founded in Baltimore by Susan Clayton! WhitePaws RunMitts are thumbless running mittens that can flip open to allow for more airflow (perfect for us runners)! Use code “BIBRAVE5” to save $5 on all 2020 WhitePaws RunMitts!
Time, Jess, and Nathan talk about Nathan’s early years, including his lack of college ambition or direction and how a dedicated coach changed everything for him (and continues to fight for Nathan). They touch on his struggles with funding and making ends meet as a substitute teacher and coach trying to compete professionally without sponsor support. Nathan shares insights on intimidation and the difference between being scared by the things we’re trying to do, rather than our competitors. This is an inspiring story from an inspiring guy who continues to succeed despite the odds that are stacked against him.

You might not know it, but SweatWorks powers a ton of fitness tech you use every day, with a client list that includes Nike, Bose, Equinox, and Samsung. Tim and Mo discuss current fitness trends such as mindfulness, at-home workouts, and sleep and nutrition tracking, and take a peek into what the future will look like for fitness tech.
As a fellow endurance athlete and fitness enthusiast, Mo shares his unique insight on the fitness tech industry. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!

This week on The BibRave Podcast, we’re thrilled to feature one of our own, BibRave Ambassador Ebony Blackwell. Ebony sits on BibRave’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) Advisory Council, and has a PhD in Education Administration with a focus on Higher Education. Ebony is a mom, runner, working professional, and adventurer who is working to run 50 Marathons in 50 states!
In this episode, Jess and Andy chat with Ebony about her personal and professional journey learning about and experiencing issues of race, gender, and identity. They explore her dissertation, Taking Up Space: a Phenomenological Study of the Shared Experiences of Black Women enrolled in STEM Graduate Programs at PWIs, as a backdrop for how the running industry can better dismantle or adjust systems to enrich programs, initiatives, and policies. Ebony’s connection to community organizations like Youth Run NOLA inspired her commitment to her own running and gave her insight on how to bring resources, support, and organization to communities of color. The trio also discusses “tokenism” and how to prevent it, as well as techniques for starting (sometimes difficult) conversations about race. We’re proud to share Ebony’s story and grateful to have her in our BibRave community.

Kay is inspiring, insightful, and hilarious. Combine these traits with her deep industry cred and it’s no wonder why BOCO puts out the best hats (and now masks!) in the biz!

Tim, Jess, and Kate discuss Kate’s time as an elite (having run an indoor mile in 4:26!), Canadian support for elites, her country’s stance as the first to pull out of the 2020 Olympics, autoimmune disorders, her background, and entry into podcasting, and everything in between!

This week’s episode is an awesome conversation between Tim, Jess, and Calum Neff - an incredible runner in his own right and one of the two pacers who ran Sara Hall to her victory at The Marathon Project!
Calum talks with Tim and Jess about his experience in the lead-up to and on race day. They discuss the selection process to become a pacer, what his training looked like before race day, and how much experience he’s had running a 2:20-ish pace (which blew Tim and Jess away!). They also talk about Calum’s running background, including his multiple Guinness World Records for the fastest time pushing a stroller in a 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon (each record set with one of his three daughters!).

This week on The BibRave Podcast, Tim, Jess, and Andy share their Roses, Buds, and Thorns of 2020. It’s been quite a year and they talk about the good, the bad, and the blooming!
For the uninitiated, Rose, Bud, Thorn is a conversational game where each participant names one thing that’s a thorn in their life (a real pain), a bud (something that is starting to emerge as a positive thing but not quite there yet), and a rose (a fully realized and absolute good thing in their life). 2020 has had a ton of negatives, but this episode is definitely not just about COVID and it actually shows how many silver linings the year had. We hope you enjoy, see you all in the New Year!

Tim, Jess, and Julia discuss some of the documentaries that the group has watched and reviewed over the past year, sharing their lowlights and highlights. There’s a great mix of running-related movies, non-running related movies, and some great convos around what everyone liked about each movie.
If you’re looking for more content or movies to watch - something we’re ALL in the market for in 2020 - this episode offers a curated list along with reviews and commentary!

This week on The BibRave Podcast, Tim and Jess welcome writer and coach Matt Fitzgerald back to the show! We last talked to Matt on Episode 96 and so much has changed in Matt’s life since then.
Starting in early spring, Matt developed COVID-19-like symptoms and has struggled to regain his normal fitness and running ability since then. As he noted on Twitter, “Some people die of COVID-19. Others recover. Still others neither die nor recover fully. It seems I may belong to this last group, and the experience is challenging me to practice what I preach about mental fitness like nothing else ever has.”
Tim and Jess talk to Matt about his struggle through this seemingly endless ordeal, his physical conditions and how those have affected his running, and the mental toll it’s taken on him. Matt’s story is deeply unfortunate but also very eye-opening.
Lastly and on a brighter note, they also talk about Matt’s new book The Comeback Quotient, an extremely timely and valuable book for all of us in 2020.

This week on The BibRave Podcast, we’re talking about The Best Races of the Decade, as recently revealed on the 2020 list of The BibRave 100!
In light of all the cancellations related to the pandemic, the 2020 list is a “A Decade in Review,” highlighting the best races of the last 10 years and giving events some much-needed good news to highlight and promote. This year’s list included the Top 20 Marathons, the Top 20 Half Marathons, the Top 20 Races of 10 Miles or Less, and other non-distance categories such as Best Virtual Race Experience and Best Race-cation. Tim, Andy, and Jess walk through the list, highlighting the different winners across categories and sharing their own personal stories with (or goals to run!) each race.

This week on The BibRave Podcast, Tim and Jess welcome back OG co-host, Julia Montag! This one is all about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, and there are some great takeaways for you (if you care about food, that is…).
This week’s episode is brought to you by AfterShokz and they’ve got some BIG (but also mini 😉) news! The much loved Aeropex open-ear headphones are now available in two sizes, Standard and Mini!

Tim, Jess, and Julia share their favorite Thanksgiving recipes, and discuss why they don’t spend a ton of energy trying to make their favs overly “healthy” (except Julia’s pumpkin pie, which she says is just as tasty but with way less sugar!).
They also discuss their upcoming Turkey Trot and why doing a virtual race is awesome because, if you want, you get to make it into a trail run. There’s lots of running, racing, and food talk in this episode, so hopefully, you enjoy it!

Please join us in welcoming California Director for the National Wildlife Federation, Beth Pratt, to The BibRave Podcast this week!

Beth has worked in conservation for almost 30 years, and has done some amazing things to help runners and other recreationists coexist with some pretty impressive carnivores (her TEDx Talk How a Lonely Cougar in Los Angeles Inspired the World is a must watch)!

This week’s episode is a conversation between Tim and Ryan Day. Ryan is the man behind the Instagram and YouTube account, I Run on Beer, and he’s also a BibRave Pro. Ryan does a great job curating running and beer-related content on his channels. It’s been super fun to watch his video and editing skills grow.
For this episode, Ryan and Tim used a simultaneous beer tasting as the backdrop for their convo. They talked about various seasonal beers and what makes different varietals stand out. Of course, they also discussed running, racing, and how lockdown has affected Ryan’s endurance activities (and choices)!

In today’s episode, Tim, Jess, and Andy speculate on when racing will return. They not only talk about the latest news from people and organizations across the running industry, but also the best-case scenarios, worst-case scenarios, and how all this might affect new runners. The trio finishes chatting about virtual races and how those will play a role in the near and distant future.
👉 One note of warning - some of the predictions are pretty grim. Even though the tone might be upbeat when talking about the issues, please know that the LAST thing we want is for running to be delayed any longer than absolutely necessary. But Tim, Jess, and Andy tried to be as realistic as possible.

This week on The BibRave Podcast we feature a conversation with Tim, Julia, and physical therapist, Matt Walsh. Matt is a Portland-based PT with over 33 years of clinical experience across sports like running, golf, rugby, and cross country skiing. Matt is also Julia’s PT which is how we came to know him!
We talk with Matt about what it’s like to run throughout the decades of our life, what we can expect, and how to ideally prepare for aging as a runner. It’s a great look at common pitfalls that most runners encounter, and there is a ton of really interesting biomechanics in our discussion. We enjoy our chat with Matt and hope his breakdown of the human body is helpful to you as a runner!

We come to you this week with very heavy hearts after the loss of our dear friend, Tony Banovich. Tony was a running icon in the Montana running scene, and as Race Director of The Missoula Marathon he catapulted the event to national recognition as one of the best races in the country. Tony was an impossibly kind, warm, positive, funny, and energetic human, an incomparable ambassador for the sport of running, and a dear friend. We already miss him terribly.
Tony suffered from a severe heart condition (cardiomyopathy), and he shared more details about his health on The BibRave Podcast back in February. As a small tribute to Tony and to further awareness of his condition (education he was eager to spread), we’ve decided to re-air some clips of that episode along with a few others from his interview in 2019. Tim, Jess, and Julia also offer some additional thoughts and memories of Tony in the intro.
We’re so sad to have lost such a great person, and our hearts go out to his wife Erin, their children, and their grandchildren.

We’re happy to welcome Dr. Justin Ross back to The BibRave Podcast this week! Dr. Ross has been a regular guest on the show, and as a clinical psychologist specializing in health & wellness psychology, human performance, and sports psychology. We were extremely interested in his thoughts and guidance on navigating uncertainty in the times of COVID-19.
Tim and Jess cover a range of topics with Dr. Ross (starting with an AMAZING breakfast sandwich recipe!). They talk about role confusion (hello parents-as-teachers!) and the resulting anxiety, modeling resiliency especially for our kids, co-workers, and partners, dealing with fear, and redefining values when there are no races on offer.

We’re excited to bring you another episode of The BibRave Podcast! This week, we talk with Brenda Martinez, an American track and field athlete who specializes in middle distance races like the 800 and 1500 meters. Brenda has been struggling with injuries for the past three years, so Tim and Jess were excited to see how she’s doing in the run-up to the 2020/2021 Olympic games.
In addition to inspiring the hell out of us with her on-track performances (defying adversity and qualifying for the Olympics after getting tripped in her main event), Brenda also hosts an amazing training camp to empower young athletes called BMART Camp. Tim and Jess talk with Brenda about the camp, how it started, and why it’s so important to her. And of course, the trio obviously geeks out over plenty of coffee, journaling, and gear talk. 😉

We’ve got a doozy for y’all this week, and something decidedly NOT about running! In this episode of The BibRave Podcast, Tim, Jess, and Andy discuss their top five TV show characters of all time!
This was an entertaining and nostalgic discussion, with everyone listing their opinions and rationales for who made their list! Interestingly enough, the BibRave Team has ZERO overlaps on their lists, showing very distinct TV show and personality preferences. Spoiler alert - judging by his list, Tim basically only likes horrible, horrible TV show characters. 🤣
We don’t want to give away too much of the list of favorites, so the show notes are going to be a bit thin this week. Guess you’ll just have to listen and hear for yourself!

Tim and Jess are talking to Dr. Justin Jelen, a chiropractic physician based in Portland, OR who specializes in treating athletes this week on The BibRave Podcast!
While there are an infinite number of injury-related and biomechanical questions for someone like Dr. Jelen, this conversation is pretty focussed on strength training and muscle gain. Specifically, Tim and Jess ask Dr. Jelen - should runners WANT to add muscle weight? It’s a very interesting and important topic that Dr. Jelen does a great job answering, providing loads of meaningful insight and actionable advice throughout the conversation.

Please welcome Tony Reed, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the National Black Marathoners Association to this week's episode of The BibRave Podcast!
Tony’s story is a fascinating one, and he tells Tim and Jess about all the great work organizations like the NBMA are doing to grow the number of Black runners in our sport. They discuss some of Tony’s inspiration behind starting the NBMA, along with some of the challenges he’s experienced on the road to growing the group to more than 16,000 members.
We really loved this conversation with Tony, and we’re proud to highlight such a shining and inspiring leader in our sport!

Buckle up, we’ve got a great episode of The BibRave Podcast for you this week! In Episode 212, Tim and Jess are talking with a man who needs no introduction, THE Ryan Hall!
You likely know Ryan as the American record holder in the Half Marathon (59:43 👀), as well as the only American runner to break 2:05 in the Marathon (2:04:58 😳)! But if you’ve been following his IG since 2016 when he retired from professional running, you know that he’s been on quite the bodybuilding journey.
Tim, Jess, and Ryan talk a lot about diet and weight training - the pros and cons of heavy weight training, what works for Ryan, and some of the crazy numbers behind his bulk. They also chat about Ryan’s (potentially crazy) decision to run his first Ultra Marathon! Ryan has only run about five times in 2020, and he’s going to be basically running in a totally new body, so this race is sure to be interesting at the very least!

BUFF® has also created masks for all-day active use to stay safe and active! Click here to receive 15% off when you sign up for their newsletter!

They talk about running gear and what Zach and Amanda look for in running equipment - especially for ultras when having the right gear is particularly important. They also talk about what Zach and Amanda look for in brand partners and sponsorships, which was super cool to hear.
The second part is Tim’s conversation with Media Marketing Manager at BUFF®, Casey Rolig! They talk about the moment BUFF® is having right now due to COVID-19 and face coverings being required in most places, plus some really cool product development issues focused on sustainability. Then Tim asks Casey what he looks for in BUFF® sponsored athletes.

This week on The BibRave Podcast, we welcome back former professional runner and host of The Mocko Show, Chris Mocko! We talked to Chris on the show about a year ago, and a few months later (after a solid showing at Western States) he made the difficult decision to leave professional running.
Voting is officially open for The BibRave100! Vote today for your favorite distance category races before August 31st. 🎉 We can’t wait to see who comes out on top!
Tim and Chris talk a lot about what went into making his difficult running career call, what factors he considered, and what challenges were part of being a professional runner. Chris is a super analytical and thoughtful guy who’s unique because he doesn’t let those internal deliberations prevent him from making big (and risky!) moves. They talk about a few decision-making paradigms, with a lot of emphasis on the risks of NOT doing something versus doing.
Tim and Chris’ conversation is a bit heavier than some of Chris’s other interviews, but we found it to be super interesting and substantive!

Voting is officially open for The BibRave100! Vote today for your favorite distance category races before August 31st. 🎉 We can’t wait to see who comes out on top!
Because Roxanne is a sports nutrition expert, Tim and Jess talk a lot about nutrition with her. They discuss the strengths and weaknesses of many different diets and eating styles, inflammation, and eating for a healthy brain. The trio also dives into the pros and cons of body composition testing, what the best tools are for measuring body composition, and of course, they talk about food - lots and lots of food, with particular attention being paid to kimchi and the benefits of probiotics.

This week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast features a timely conversation about running technology with Tim, Jess, and Andy! After the recent Garmin Connect crisis and subsequent Strava blackout, runners everywhere were forced to look inward and consider how out of character their reliance on running tech had become.
This week’s episode is brought to you by Another Mother Runner’s Many Happy Miles! This is a 12-month program containing unique workouts to keep you motivated and moving. You can use the new Many Happy Miles app to access all of the workouts, challenges, on-demand strength videos, community support, and other surprises in one handy place. Sign up today and receive your fun surprise welcome gift! 🎁
In our episode, the trio discusses the technological items (hardware and software) that come with them on every run, and how much “control” these tech devices have over their running lives. Some runners are more data-driven than others, but when you consider music streaming apps, audiobooks, podcasts, and headphones, most runners are pretty reliant on a wide array of “tech” to power their runs. And if we’re not careful, those devices and apps can start to play an outsized role in our daily miles!

This week on The BibRave Podcast we bring you a conversation about the future of road racing with Patrick McInerney. Patrick is VP of Engagement and Innovation at EnMotive, a tech platform that powers a TON of events across the country, from your local 5K to 40,000-person events like Hot Chocolate Chicago, along with some crazy-successful virtual races.
EnMotive either owns, operates, or provides tech solutions for races in countless markets in North America, so he has unique insight into what’s happening to road racing and what we can expect in the future. Tim, Jess, and Patrick discuss when we can return to in-real life events, the economics of a race and the countless liabilities race operators face, the fact that most races LOSE money on expos, the future of expos, and what a successful virtual event entails.
There’s definitely some good news and some bad news in this episode, but it’s a very real, honest conversation with someone who knows a ton about the sport and wants nothing more than to be hosting in-person events soon!

On this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast we welcome the absolutely incomparable Courtney Dauwalter to the show! Courtney is most famous for winning races OUTRIGHT (in one case beating the fastest male in a 240-mile race by 10 hours 👀), setting course records, and winning some of the highest-profile trail races in the world (Western States, UTMB).
Before we jump into Tim and Jess’s convo with Courtney, did you know that The BibRave 100 nomination period has officially opened? 🎉 Nominate your favorite races from the last decade - only the best of the best will make the list!
Tim, Jess, and Courtney talk about what keeps Courtney going farther, always pushing to see what her body can do, and rarely worrying about winning or competition for competition’s sake. They talk about identifying good pain versus bad pain (as part of a story of when she lost her sight mid-race!), what she wishes for the trail running industry and sport, and obviously some fun food and personal stories.

We bring you a conversation with Tim, Jess, and Andy. To launch Pride Month, the trio takes time to reflect internally as a team on recent events and issues of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
To kick things off, Tim, Jess, and Andy talk about the recent protests, and how issues for racial minorities intersect with issues in the LGBTQ+ community. Through an exploration of the history of Pride, they discuss how American legislation has built-in systemic racism and prejudice into our country with some specific examples. Andy and Jessica then share some personal stories of how implicit bias and microaggressions result. The episode is an opportunity to listen, learn, and is a call-to-action for continued education on the history of these issues.

We bring you a conversation with Tim, Jess, and Andy about unexpected life lessons. Running has taught them a lot about life, but so have a couple of other fun life events. We all can learn from many different sources and apply those lessons to running as well.
The trio goes around and shares some unexpected life lessons they’ve pulled from new and interesting places. Tim kicks it off by discussing what Call of Duty has taught him about playing the game he’s in, teamwork, and strategy. Andy shares how his life and career in theatre has taught him how to trust the process and to flex many different muscles in his role. And Jess discusses how getting a tattoo taught her to remove preconceived expectations and labels, stop waiting for the perfect moment, and surround herself with a great support system.

We bring you a special conversation about race, diversity, equity, and inclusion between Tim, Jess, and Ted Metellus from New York Road Runners. You may remember Ted from Episode 74 when he shared background and insight on the quick and amazing work that was done to re-work the course of Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon in 2017 so the race could take place just a few weeks after the Las Vegas shootings. His knowledge and experience in the industry is unparalleled, and we enjoy diving deeper with him in this conversation.
The conversation starts with a chat about Ted’s experience growing up in the Bronx and then going to college where he became the OBG - Only Black Guy - in the room. We fast forward to how that has translated to his 20 or so years of experience in the running industry often being the OBG and traveling all over the country to host events in different markets. They talk about “signaling” and “tokenism,” and specifically discuss steps the white community can take to affect change.

On this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast, Tim & Jess talk to Tony Yamanaka, Vice President of Operations for Event Southwest, a boutique event production company. They then chat about the running industry and why runners run. Basically, prepare to nerd out.
Tony graduated from the University of Edinburgh where he wrote a dissertation about “Long-Distance Running Races: The Use of Experiences as Self-Concept Constructs.” The trio dissects what that actually means - specifically why runners run - and his approach to his research. A lot of the discussion centers around this idea of experience, and since we are all in lockdown our concept of experience is changing all the time. They also share some insider tips on how to get into the industry and tales of some international travels.

Episode 182 of The BibRave Podcast just DROPPED! This week, Tim and Jess interview Mark Remy - the creative wizard and hilarious “area man” behind what is essentially The Onion for runners, Dumb Runner.
Mark is a Portland, OR resident and former Runner’s World columnist who turned his passion for running and writing into a must-read site that makes fun of all things running. Most of his articles poke fun at dogs (Tim’s favorite - “'He's Friendly,' Owner Assures Runner as Off-Leash Dog Pierces Carotid Artery”), runners being obnoxious (“Report: Running as Little as Once a Week Can Boost Ability to Talk Incessantly About Running”), or runners taking themselves too seriously (“World's Social Media Users Eagerly Await Details of Man's Latest Run”).
Tim and Jess talk with Mark over beers about Dumb Runner, how he approaches content creation, how bikes and cars differently threaten runners, his philosophy behind runner-supported content vs. advertisers, and plenty of other nerdy running stuff.

We can all admit there are some ideas or subjects that maybe we’ve referenced or heard about, but we don’t fully understand. Luckily for us, Reddit, the popular social sharing and discussion site, gave us a solution. It’s called ELI5, or Explain it Like I’m 5 (years old)! ELI5 is where users post seemingly complicated subjects and ideas, and ask someone in the community - usually a subject matter expert - to explain it in a way that a 5-year-old would understand.
Strictly adhering to what a 5-year-old would comprehend isn’t the actual goal. It’s really meant to be inspiration for how to break down something complicated into something simple. We’re glowing with excitement to bring you the second episode of a special podcast feature we’ve created with our friends at AfterShokz - the leader in athlete-friendly bone conduction headphones - featuring an idea that has everyone talking: solar energy. ☀️
In episode 2, Tim dives into conversation with Holland Smith, who has an impressive background and education that ranges from Physical Science and Solar Energy to Material Science and Engineering. Holland has a gift for framing this particular concept in a helpful analogy, and he’s the perfect person to breakdown solar energy and exactly how it works.
Naturally, we asked the most simple, yet complicated questions - How do solar panels actually work and how does sunlight get turned into electricity? On the road to answering that compelling question, Holland also shares his thoughts on energy generation and how it plays an important role in our lives. “It explains the impact we have on the environment and it plays a role in critical political decisions and resource wars.” Don’t worry, we don’t get too political, but it’s a good perspective check on what impact our energy decisions have and what drives them.
Listen to this ELI5 episode and find out how solar energy is just like a group of children on a playground! 🤔🏃♀️😎
We hope you enjoy this intriguing and informative conversation about solar energy as much as we did! Be sure to share your thoughts with us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

We’re bringing you the fourth episode in a series of special edition podcasts we’ve created with our friends at AfterShokz - the unrivaled maker of bone conduction headphones. The series is called Making It and explores the pathways, trials, and tribulations of a variety of athletes as they try to “make it” at the highest levels of their sport.
In episode 4, we present From Zero to Ultra - Jeff Browning, Making It AfterShokz Podcast Series by BibRave. In this episode, we take you through the incredible ultra-journey that is Jeff Browning’s running and racing career. You’ll learn how “seeking adventure” was just the start of a lifelong passion that was always burning inside Browning. His determination and commitment to the sport of ultrarunning helped him make it in this difficult-to-crack sport.
Browning quite literally fell into the ultrarunning scene while trail running with a friend. Today, Browning has 28 ultramarathon wins and 19 hundred-mile wins on his running resume. Through his meticulous attention to detail, he’s mastered the training, diet, and recovery that propelled him to the top of ultramarathon podiums around the world.
Browning wanted to help others succeed the way he has, so he started a coaching company, and is now a highly sought ultra coach. In a sport with very few opportunities to make a career flourish, Browning was able to turn his passion into a profession.
We hope you enjoy this exciting conversation with Jeff Browning as much as we did! Be sure to share your thoughts with us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

This week, Tim and Jess welcome Andy back to the podcast for a fun chat about the changing weather, and then an interesting dive into the way certain businesses and brands are showing up to consumers in new and engaging ways!
First, the trio chat about everything FALL - changing temps, waning daylight, and some important reminders for safety out there on the roads and trails. This convo connects to the perfect Marathon conditions everyone saw in Chicago for our newest women’s world record - go Brigid Kosgei!
Then, they explore some new marketing and brand innovations by profiling several companies that are working to diversify how they are showing up to consumers. In many cases, businesses are tapping into the new “experience market,” and are taking their traditional product-based brands into new engaging directions (everyone from Lululemon to Crate and Barrel). Oh, and Tim also mentions a need for a new vacuum - got a reco?

If you’re a part of the triathlon community, chances are you’ve heard of the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon! However, when others hear the words escape and Alcatraz, the image of the federal prison sitting on “the rock” in San Francisco Bay comes to mind.
The Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary once housed some of the most dangerous criminals in its extremely well-protected prison, and what shocked many was the number of men that attempted to escape. These prisoners had to not only escape, but then attempt to swim to land. Crazy? We thought so. What if we told you that every year over 8,000 men and women throw their names in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon hat, hoping to be chosen to participate?
We present, Could You Handle the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon? The Peek: A Behind-the-Scenes Podcast by AfterShokz, where we take you behind the curtain to get the inside scoop on some of the most premier endurance events.
In this second installment of The Peek, we’re exploring what it takes to produce an event that not only has a famously intense swim but is followed by unforgiving climbs on the bike, topped off with a brutal run to the finish line. In this episode, you’ll hear stories from Andy Potts, 6-time winner of Escape from Alcatraz, along with Race Director Bill Burke, and his tale of the legendary swim cancellation.
Whether you’re a swimmer, cyclist, or runner (or all three!) - we know you will love listening to the inspirational and intense story of putting on the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon.
We hope you enjoy Episode 2 of The Peek!

They discuss the impact of downhill races, shoes, technology, and also alternative options. They then share the recent story of a runner who has been disqualified at numerous racing events, and recently released a statement about her anxiety disorder.

Today we’ve got Episode 162 of The BibRave Podcast, featuring a new topic exploration with repeat guest and the official (unofficial) BibRave Physician, Cholesterol Dave (aka Dr. David Harmon). Tim, Jess, and Dave discuss a super sexy topic - Metabolic Syndrome - which affects 90 million American adults. You’ve heard that obesity is a huge health problem, but unfortunately - as Dr. Dave explains - that’s really only part of the problem. There’s a lot more happening beneath the surface, and as fitness-conscious runners, we are not immune!
The conversation starts with Cholesterol Dave explaining what Metabolic Syndrome is, and why it’s commonly misunderstood. They then dive into the five components of metabolic syndrome, causes, and ways consumers can re-examine their consumption habits (from what we eat, to how we eat, and when). We love all things food-related, so it’s an important topic to explore.

This week we turn the tables and Jess interviews Tim about the steps and experiences that led him to launch BibRave with Jess in 2013. Tim has an interesting and diverse background, and we hear about how being a state champion wrestler influenced the way he approaches hard work and dedication. As Tim pivoted from legal studies to international security studies and then into real estate, he developed a broad skill set that helped him to launch his first business - ApplyMate. All of this helped prepare him to build and launch BibRave.

You know how there are certain subjects or ideas that you hear discussed often, maybe that you’ve even referenced yourself, but don’t fully understand? Things like Bitcoin, nuclear power, and solar cells are things people talk about a lot, but because they’re so common, many people are afraid to ask for a detailed explanation. We’ll call it the “FOBE Phenomenon,” or, Fear of Being Embarrassed (trademark pending 😉).
In fact, FOBE is such a common phenomenon that there’s an entire discussion thread dedicated to the subject on Reddit, the popular social sharing and discussion site. Known as ELI5, or Explain it Like I’m 5 (years old), ELI5 is where users post a seemingly complicated subject or idea, and ask someone in the community - usually a subject matter expert - to explain it in a way that a five year-old might understand.
It’s important to note that the ELI5 answers rarely adhere to the concept literally. The idea is to simplify and demystify, making otherwise esoteric subjects more accessible and understandable. A five year-old’s level of understanding is the theme and inspiration, but it’s not literally required or even important.
What is important is breaking something complicated into something simpler, and we’re excited to do that with an idea that’s near and dear to our hearts: Bone Conduction.
Introducing Explain Like I'm 5: Bone Conduction, a special podcast feature by AfterShokz, and board-certified, YouTube-renowned audiologist, Dr. Cliff Olson, AuD. Dr. Cliff is an expert in all things related to Audiology, and his insight into the science and benefits of bone conduction are extremely illuminating.
As you probably already know, AfterShokz transmit sound via bone conduction, meaning our headphones rest in front of your ears, rather than over or inside. However, you might not know all of the tech and biology at play, or what’s necessary to transmit sound via bone conduction vs air conduction, which is how most sound travels and is received.
ELI5: Bone Conduction tackles all of the bone conduction questions you’ve ever had, plus it includes a few more fun facts and safety tips. You can download the episode here, and if you want to listen via that sweet bone conduction magic, check out our brand new model, the Aeropex!
Thanks for listening - we hope you enjoy this episode of ELI5: Bone Conduction!

We hear all about her experience working at Nike and then at Runner’s World, what she learned along the way, and how she found the time and space to discover what truly makes her happy. To no surprise, the answer was BibRave (oh, and Tim!). 😍

This week Tim and Jessica interview Sarah Ratzlaff, formerly of runDisney and now the owner of the ZOOMA Women’s Race Series! The episode kicks off with the typical BibRave breakfast talk, which dovetails into a conversation about all things coffee… what to drink, mugs, you name it. Sarah then shares how she entered the industry of running through an internship at Disney Sports - the role that eventually evolved into one where she helped develop runDisney into the iconic brand and event series it is today.
For the past two years, Sarah has taken on a new and exciting project as owner of the ZOOMA Women’s Race Series. She shares what it means to own the ZOOMA brand, how she approaches taking risks, and what she is looking to achieve in establishing ZOOMA’s identity.

If you have participated in a large race event, such as a marathon, 5K, triathlon, or relay, you’re familiar with the participant experience.
We show up, run, bike, experience the glory of the finish line, get our medal, enjoy a post-race beer and head home with our amazing event memories.
What we don’t see is the HOURS, weeks, and months of work done by event organizers and countless volunteers. Sure, we train and give up time with our families and Netflix accounts, but we really don’t understand half of what goes on behind the scenes with some of these events.
Not anymore, friends!
The Peek, a behind-the-scenes podcast series by AfterShokz. In this 3-part series, we take you behind the curtain to get the inside scoop on what it takes to put on some of the most premier endurance events.
In this first installment of The Peek, we’re exploring all of the insane work that goes into putting on the mother of all relay races, the granddaddy of grind, where van-life meets runners meets volcano meets Pacific-Coast. That’s right - we’re peeking under the hood of the Hood to Coast Relay!
Starting on the potentially active stratovolcano, Mt. Hood, 65 miles east of downtown Portland, and running 199 miles west to the Pacific Coast, Hood to Coast features 1,050 teams of 6-12 people, roughly 12,600 runners, and 3,600 volunteers!
But it’s not just the sheer number of people or miles that make this race a daunting enterprise to execute. Along those 199 miles are countless highways, rural roads, municipalities, neighborhoods, towns, and other stakeholders that the race has to accommodate. There are also several “exchange points,” where all 1,050 team vans all converge to pass the baton on to their teammates.
To get a sense of what it takes to put on Hood to Coast, we talked with Hood to Coast’s Chief Operating Officer, Dan Floyd and VP of Sales, Tina Wood, to hear more about the organization that pulls off this Herculean feat year after year.
We also talked with Kelly Buechler, Executive Director of Providence Portland Medical Foundation, the race’s primary charitable partner and beneficiary, who shares some of the amazing work Providence Medical Center has accomplished through Hood to Coast’s support.
And finally, to get some stories from the front row, we talked with Steve and Becky Hanamura. Steve is a runner who was born blind and has run Hood to Coast for the last 29 years, and Becky has run exchange 12 – arguably the most complicated and difficult exchange point – for the last 25 years.
Between Dan, Tina, Kelly, Steve, and Becky - they’ve seen Hood to Coast grow from a concept to an upstart event, to an international phenomenon.
If you’ve been looking to accomplish something BIG, embark on an amazing adventure with 11 friends, and see one of the most beautiful areas of the United States, we’re sure you’ll want to hear more about Hood to Coast. You can download the episode here, and if this episode pushes you over the edge, you can learn more about how to enter the Hood to Coast lottery here.

Here it is; the second episode of a new podcast series we’ve created with our friends at BibRave, called Making It: An AfterShokz Podcast Series by BibRave. The series explores the pathways, trials, and tribulations of a variety of athletes as they try to “make it” at the highest levels of their sport.
We know that getting out the door for your run or ride can often be the hardest part. There are so many distractions and reasons to just skip it – especially if you are worried about boredom or monotony. We wanted to help combat the boredom piece by sharing some inspiring stories to keep you entertained – all served up via those sweet vibes from your AfterShokz headphones!
Last month, we featured the jaw-dropping inspiration from Chaz Davis, a runner who lost his sight in his college career. Chaz continued to excel as a blind runner, eventually competing for Team USA in the Paralympics. In episode two, we’re excited to bring you the story of Jim Knous, a golfer who just barely made it, becoming the last PGA golfer to earn his TOUR card in 2018.
Jim’s story is a combination of rugged determination and cool-headed focus. Throughout the course of our conversations with Jim, it became pretty obvious how valuable that mindset is when attempting to make it as one of the most elite athletes on the planet.
Whoa, hang on. “One of the most elite”?
Really?
Believe it.
Of the 80 million estimated golfers worldwide, only 245 make the PGA TOUR! That means Jim (and every other golfer) had a 1 in 326,000 chance of earning a spot, or about .0003 percent. As a comparison, about 1 in 200, or approximately 0.5 percent of high school senior boys playing baseball will eventually be drafted by an MLB team. So yeah, making the PGA TOUR is a BIG deal!
In this episode of the Making It series, you’ll hear how Jim’s cool demeanor helped him navigate the long, lonely, and very high-stakes process of vying for a PGA TOUR card. Jim, along with his family, endured ups and downs and pushed through crushing losses, in order to find his way into the elite ranks. If you’re into hearing about the strength of human will and the tenacity to overcome intense odds, Jim’s story is for you.
We hope you enjoy this conversation with Jim as much as we did! Be sure to share your thoughts with us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter).

Today we bring you the first in a series of special edition podcasts we’ve created with our friends at AfterShokz - the unrivaled maker of bone conduction headphones. The series is called Making It and explores the pathways, trials, and tribulations of a variety of athletes as they try to “make it” at the highest levels of their sport.
Episode One features blind Paralympic runner Chaz Davis – a high-performing college track athlete who was really starting to hit his stride before everything changed. He was suddenly struck with an ailment known as Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy – a common mitochondrial disorder that robbed him of his sight.
Listen to the episode to hear how Chaz overcame his initial heartbreak at the diagnosis, his destructive behavior to follow, and how he regained his motivation to run and become a member of the U.S. Paralympic Team. Chaz is now preparing to earn a spot in the 2020 Paralympic Marathon in Tokyo, and we get into what it’ll take to get there!
We hope that you're as inspired by Chaz' story as we are and that you can approach your next run or challenge with a bit of gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose. We’re all going to experience setbacks in life and in running, and here’s to learning from Chaz’ incredible story of “making it!"
For a deeper dive into our premiere episode of Making It and to learn more about Chaz, check out our show notes. You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. And, if you enjoyed this episode we would love it if you could leave us a review on iTunes!

Kevin gave a keynote on culture, so we have him share insights on why culture is important to an organization and especially for those in the endurance space. He discusses his approach to leading his company through empathy. Lastly, we chat about some of the highs and lows of Kevin’s career.
ICYMI! Listen to Kevin on other episodes of The BibRave Podcast:

First, Tim and Jess give a quick recap of the BATH. Then they hop into the meat of the episode which is a fascinating conversation with Dr. Zack McCormick on regenerative medicine. You may remember Zack from Episode 110 of The BibRave Podcast, and is a long-time friend of the BibRave crew. He has spent time specializing in Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, and currently is an Assistant Professor and Clinical Spine Research Director at the University of Utah.
The trio discuss some current trends in regenerative medicine - including PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and stem cells - and instances where runners or endurance athletes may consider these treatments as alternatives to cortisone injections. We hear all about the pros and cons, FDA regulations or lack thereof, and who should consider this type of treatment. It’s a fascinating topic - you’ll definitely need your thinking caps.

We hear all about how Dave and his wife Lisa launched their first Fleet Feet Chicago in 1995.

If you’ve ever been fitted at a store, joined a group training run, or if you’ve NEVER set foot in a running store, there’s something to takeaway in this episode - so you won’t want to miss it.

We have a fun conversation to bring you for Episode 129 of The BibRave Podcast! We welcome returning guest, Katie Hynes, a sports nutritionist (and speedy marathoner!) that we talked to in Episode 97 about mastering nutrition for a Marathon of Half Marathon!
Katie first brings us up-to-speed on her running adventures, which include an OTQ (Olympic Trials Qualifier) at Grandma’s 2018 and an even speedier PR at CIM 2018. She shares her experience working with other “girl gangs” in these races to run fast and strong. Then we dive into a topic close to home - how to manage constant hunger while starting up Marathon training! She gives us some quick tips on how to think about and approach our diet during a training cycle, and we quickly realize we have eating FOMO.

We’re very excited to deliver Episode 124 of The BibRave Podcast!
This week, we veer WAY off the running path and cover just about everything BUT running. Sure, we sprinkle some running talk in there, but Tim, Jess, and Andy talk about a lot of non-running topics this week.
They talk about the best single covers of all time (criteria: has the cover eclipsed the original? Here’s Jess’ pick 😉) , and how each plans to spend (and stay active throughout) the holidays. Then they chat about Tim, Jess, and Andy’s upcoming trip to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Jess and Andy’s performing group, The Chicago Redline, and throw in some chatter about 2018 gear picks and a raft of other random stuff.
Make sure to follow all of Team BibRave on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and let us know your pick for the best single cover of all time (don’t forget, hashtag #BibChat & #BRPodcast)!

So stoked to bring you Episode 121 of The BibRave Podcast, featuring several past guests and more fascinating conversation.
Remember back in Episode 115, when we talked with AfterShokz CMO, Kim Fassetta (from Episode 104), her coach, Global runWestin Concierge and Tim’s former running coach, Chris Heuisler (Episode 25 and Episode 77), and sports psychologist, Dr. Justin Ross (Episode 26 and Episode 93)? Well, we heard so many good things from you the listeners, and we personally found the conversation so engaging, we asked the three of them to come back and do one more check-in before Kim takes on the Honolulu Marathon.
Like with Episode 115, this week’s episode does not disappoint. The four jump right into some heavy-hitting issues like internal honesty and how important transparency is to one’s training, partners, one’s self, and also why such honesty is so difficult for basically... everyone. And once again, Coach Chris and Dr. Ross were phenomenal guides and partners throughout the conversation.
So much of what Kim shares resonates with all of us at Team BibRave, and we’re so grateful that she’s been willing to share every aspect of her journey - the good and the rough - with us and with you. If you’ve enjoyed any of our past convos with her and you want to give Kim any kudos or shout-outs, please do so on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #BibChat and #BRPodcast.

We’re thrilled to bring you Episode 116 of The BibRave Podcast! We start with a quick recap from Jessica about her 2018 Chicago Marathon experience. Then we get into the meat of our conversation with Matt Kuzma, co-author of Marathon Spectator Guide. His co-author and wife, Cindy Kuzma, has written numerous pieces for Runner’s World and also interviewed Tim and Jess for the #WeGotGoals Podcast. She’s also run numerous Marathons, which has made Matt - who also has a background in urban planning and operations - a spectating pro!
After hearing Matt’s tales of seeing runners six to SEVEN times during MAJOR Marathons, I knew we had to bring him on the podcast. We talk about how he discovered the “sport” that is Marathon spectating. He shares some key tips & tricks (Yes! There IS an approach to fuel and hydration for the spectators, too!) and also some key things to avoid. If you’re running a large Marathon soon (or have friends that are), you won’t want to miss this episode.

Here it is - Episode 115 of The BibRave Podcast!
This week’s episode is Straight. Up. Fascinating. We get to be a fly on the wall for an intimate conversation between an athlete, her coach, and a sports psychologist. A big thank you to our friends at AfterShokz for sponsoring and a City Winery Chicago for hosting our recording session.
The athlete in question is AfterShokz CMO, Kim Fassetta (from episode Episode 104), her coach throughout training for the Honolulu Marathon, Global runWestin Concierge and Tim’s former running coach, Chris Heuisler (Episode 25 and Episode 77), and sports psychologist making his third appearance on The BibRave Podcast (Episode 26 and Episode 93), Dr. Justin Ross.
We talk about a lot of the emotional and intellectual pitfalls that so many runners and racers struggle to overcome, and it is so interesting to follow the interactions between Kim, her coach, and a professional psychologist. There’s a lot of positive reframing and working through some issues that a lot of you out there will definitely relate to. Huge thanks to Kim, Chris, and Dr. Ross for facilitating such a healthy and productive conversation.

We’re really thrilled to bring you Episode 105 of The BibRave Podcast and our fascinating conversation with exercise physiologist & nutrition scientist Stacy Sims, PhD. Stacy has specialized in ways to optimize endurance training based on your gender, and specifically the differences for the female body. But don’t worry men, this is a fascinating episode that you’ll want to tune into as well if you have any female runners in your life!
We dive deep into why women’s bodies and bodily functions vary from men, how that impacts how we train, recover, and fuel. We talk about why these differences are important when considering how and when to train, and certain recent diet trends like the keto diet and intermittent fasting. Stacy also shares insight behind how birth control affects our bodies, and we end with a few very important takeaways.
We left this conversation wanting to go back and RE-read her book because there’s so much to unpack. As always, you can find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

We’re excited to share our second conversation with Stephanie Howe Violett, which we recorded just one week after her 6th place finish at Western States. This week’s episode is brought to you by Rock ‘n’ Roll Philadelphia and The BibRave 100.
We get the full play-by-play recap of her race at Western States, including a recap of her torn quad (ouch!!). She talks about her approach to UTMB and some of her favorite parts of Chamonix. And then we dive back into her career as a nutritionist, how people should think (or not think) about racing weight, how to analyze food sensitivities, and more. We also broach the ever trendy topic of intermittent fasting.
We always enjoy chatting with Stephanie. Her knowledge and enthusiasm about the sport and nutrition always leave us with nuggets of new information learned. As always, you can find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

We talk to Ali about everything - how she found this crazy sport called running, why she started blogging and then podcasting, and what her ambitions are for the future. We loved getting a chance to dive into what makes Ali tick! She shares some down-to-earth insight into struggles she’s had with her blog, her marriage, Crohn’s disease and more.

Ann has traveled all across the globe to various Rock ‘n’ Roll races, so she shares some of her favorite parts of some upcoming Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series destinations, from Savannah to Seattle, Chicago to Vegas, and everything in between. She then shares a crazy story about a recent cycling accident which ended with her jaw being wired shut (not ideal when your voice is your profession).

For Episode 97 of The BibRave Podcast, we’re excited to partner with our friends at Gatorade Endurance to bring to you a conversation with Katie Hynes, a sports nutritionist who is also a speedy marathoner that runs with the BibRave Portland crew. You may remember Katie from her blog post on how to stay “on pace” with your eating habits over the holidays, and her feature on The BibRave Bonus Mile: Safety Edition.
First, we discuss how Katie’s passion for running inspired her to pivot her career to become a sports nutritionist. We then dive into the science behind hydration and nutrition, as it relates to endurance events, what adaptations happen in the body that make it trickier to master, and how runners should approach finding a good strategy for their own body. As with most things in life, the key is to focus on what’s best for YOU.

For Episode 96 of The BibRave Podcast, we’re so excited to bring you one of our favorite authors and thought leaders in running, Matt Fitzgerald! And a special thanks to our awesome sponsors at Athlinks - the largest results database for competitive endurance athletes in the world!
Matt is a prolific author and has written some of the best running and nutrition-related books out there. His latest is The Endurance Diet, which he references throughout the episode and which clearly builds on his previous hits Racing Weight, Diet Cults, and The New Rules of Marathon and Half-Marathon Nutrition. They also talk about one of Tim’s favorites, which was prescribed by his coach (Sensei Chris) before the Tokyo Marathon, How Bad Do You Want It?
Tim, Julia, and Matt discuss everything from breakfast regimens and how elite runners eat (spoiler - it’s pretty much everything) to fad diets, and the difference between mental fitness and mental toughness. Matt is an extremely intelligent, articulate, and well-informed guy, so this episode covers a lot. Hope you enjoy!

We’re STOKED to bring you Episode 95 of The BibRave Podcast! In this week’s episode we check in with Tim, Jess, and Julia to hear what’s new and what’s in store. They cover everything from dog bites (this time NOT Julia) and other injuries to new race plans!
Next, they move on to pretty much everyone’s favorite subject - coffee! The hosts talk about how they take their coffee (Black? Cream? Sugar?), their preferred brew methods, favorite beans and roasts, and how coffee factors into their pre-race routines.
Then they close out the show talking about plans for Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle! All three are headed up to Seattle for race weekend, and BibRave has partnered with Brooks Running to create the ultimate traveler’s resource - the Infinite Energy Seattle City Guide, presented by Brooks.

We’re excited to bring you Episode 94 of The BibRave Podcast where we invite two of our faves, Cholesterol Dave (aka Dr. Dave Harmon) and ARX Josh (aka Dr. Josh Russell), back to the podcast. In this week’s episode we dive deep into what the medical industry gets wrong about nutrition, specifically as it relates to our diets and supplements.
As runners, we’re always looking to optimize some part of our health, performance, and recovery, and supplements can be a big part of that, whether it’s protein powder or daily vitamins. We first explore WHY it’s so hard to get good information on what’s “good” for us when it comes to food and nutrition. We then take a close look at supplements, how they are regulated (or not), which ones runners should consider taking, and how we can do our own research. Spoiler - if you’ve taken krill/fish oil, vitamin C or D, zinc, or protein powder, you’ll want to listen to this episode! We end with an interesting perspective on how the lack of nutrition education impacts where medical professions focus their knowledge and interventions.
As always, you can find us on social - Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! And if you haven’t yet, please leave us a review on the iTunes store! Thanks and enjoy.

We’re excited to bring you Episode 93 of The BibRave Podcast where we invite Dr. Justin Ross, clinical psychologist, who originally joined us in Episode 26: Probing the Runner Mind. Dr. Ross specializes in a number of health psychology-related areas, including sports and performance, pain management, eating disorders, stress reduction, bariatrics, and mindfulness-based interventions.
In our conversation with Dr. Ross, we dive deep into the idea of mental toughness and how it can improve performance - changing our perception of effort-level and discomfort or pain. We then talk about how to start creating process-based goals and use mindfulness as part of our training. We love having Dr. Ross on because he breaks down simple steps for us to pull through the positivity of running, whether it relates to our own doubt or a performance on race day.
If you’ve ever gotten into your own head - which is all of us! - definitely give this episode a listen. And, as always, you can find us on social - Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

We're thrilled to release our second episode of what we are now calling “The BibRave Bonus Mile.” These are the “special edition” episodes of the podcast that we're launching after the amazing response we received after our Leadville episode. They will be longer-form and will dive deeper on issues (like safety) and experiences (like Leadville) with narration, interviews, and on-site reporting.
This special edition is all about Safety, with the support of our partners at Aftershokz. We first hear from two runners who have experienced dangerous situations while on the run. The first is badass Kelly Herron who defeated an attacker mid-run. The second is a personal friend, Craig H., who broke his ankle on a dark winter run. We then take to the streets to hear a myriad of viewpoints on running and safety, and then end in-studio with Team BibRave for a few key takeaways.

We go back to The BibRave Podcast roots this week, featuring the original hosts - Julia and Tim!
After a brief check in regarding Julia’s training and Tim’s Tokyo prep - along with Tim’s new coach reveal - the two discuss the benefits (and necessity) of patience. They discuss how important having patience can be to one’s daily life, personally and professionally, and they obviously tie it back into becoming a better runner. Some really good self-improvement nuggets in this section.
They close out the show talking about a cool “Habits Challenge” that Julia recently started with her boyfriend, Dylan. The two set up a neat system of goals, tasks, reminders, and a scoring system to develop better habits and keep themselves accountable along the way. Some solid techniques and ideas to take away from here!

In anticipation of our exciting interview with Meb next week, we are re-releasing our interview with his brother and manager, Hawi. So, time to refresh on this dynamic family duo!
In Episode 44, Hawi Keflezighi, owner of HAWI Sports Management - joins the show!
If Hawi’s last name sounds familiar, that’s because his brother is Meb Keflezighi (you know, Olympic silver medalist, New York City Marathon winner, Boston Marathon winner, etc. NBD). Meb was Hawi’s first client, but Hawi’s sports management agency now boasts an impressive roster with names like Alexi Pappas, Leo Manzano, Brenda Martinez, Zach Miller, and more.
Tim, Julia, and Hawi discuss a ton about where the Keflezighis came from (their incredible story alone is worth a listen), what it’s like to be a pro runner (salaries, sponsors, contracts), and the pressures of doping.
This is one of our favorite episodes so far, and we really hope you enjoy!

Welcome back, Runners!
Cholesterol Dave (aka Dr. David Harmon) is back on The BibRave Podcast for Episode #66! This week’s show is brought to you by our sponsor, OOFOS.
So – we’ve all heard about how running is bad for us in some ways, and at times that might be true. Dr. Harmon walks us through a number of ailments and pathologies that can occur or be associated with long periods of intense training. Don’t worry, the takeaway is that it’s still OK to run and to run a lot – but don’t confuse that with being healthy and be aware of symptoms that can arise. The more you know!

Next, their discussion turns to DNF-ing (did not finish) races, and the group expresses their opinions on whether it is okay to pull out of races after the crossing the starting line. After that, the group reviews two recent documentaries, Where Dreams Go To Die and Breaking2 - SPOILER ALERT, we do talk about how each movie ends so listener beware.

We have an extremely special episode of The BibRave Podcast for you this week! Episode 59 shares three unique segments about runners who have overcome what may be perceived as tough, and sometimes seemingly impossible odds. We hope you enjoy and take to heart these incredible stories!
First, Tim and Andy interview James Ortiz. James was an all-star collegiate runner with an aspiring running career until a tragic accident changed his life forever. Listen to his powerful story of acceptance, determination, and strength.
Next, John McKay tells Tim and Andy about his life as a blind runner. John shares what it is like to hit the roads (and trails!) with limited sight, and how his passion for running has kept him striving to achieve what some thought he could never do.
Lastly, Julia returns to the hosting chair to join Tim for an interview with Richard Reed. Richard tells his amazing weight-loss journey, and shows how a new take on life can literally and figuratively reshape your life!

Hi Runners!
I’m extremely excited and proud to share our very first “special episode” of The BibRave Podcast! Episode 56 will take you on the full journey of Tim’s Leadville Trail 100 race, narrated by crew captain Jessica. Support for our Leadville coverage continues from our amazing partners at Athlinks and Aftershokz!
The episode is a play-by-play, aid station-by-aid station recount of the Leadville Trail 100. For each section of the race, you’ll hear our live-recorded audio from race day, along with a 1st-person account from Tim. We’ve also included some reflections from our pacers and crew, recorded over celebratory beers after the race.
As a rough guide, here is a quick reference of our aid station plan by mile marker.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s heard about Tim’s Leadville training and is interested in hearing how it all plays out. We hope you enjoy it, and please share your thoughts with us on Twitter using #brpodcast.
And one more shout-out to our incredibly supportive partners at Athlinks and Aftershokz - thanks for all the help before, during, and after race day!
Happy listening!!
Jessica Murphy
BibRave Co-Founder, recovering Leadville Crew Captain
We’re stoked to welcome back the incomparable Mike Wardian to this episode of The BibRave Podcast, brought to you by the Under Armour Mountain Running Series!
Tim and Jess sat down with Mike right before Tim and Mike took on the Leadville 100 (after 14 bathroom stops, Mike somehow still came in 10th), and right before Mike also ran the insane Pikes Peak Marathon 6 hours after Leadville, becoming only the 2nd person to ever complete the two back-to-back.
BTW, Pikes Peak climbs over 7,815 feet to the top of the 14,115 foot peak… in the first half. What, the absolute, F.
As a bit of background, we spoke with Mike earlier this year right before he broke the World Marathon Challenge (7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days) record—averaging a 2:45:56 per marathon. Since then he’s run some of the most difficult and exclusive races in the world - the Barkley Marathons, the Western States 100, the Hardrock Hundred, and now Leadville and Pikes Peak.
This dude is like no other, and we were really happy to sit down and chat with him again. Enjoy!

It’s the day of the race ya’ll! After 8-months of training and anticipation, The Leadville 100 Trail Run is finally here. This special edition of The BibRave Podcast - and all of our race-week coverage - is brought to you by our friends at Athlinks and Aftershokz!
In this week’s episode, we feature a few different segments around the lead-up to race day, including our special interview with Ian Sharman - 3x winner of the Leadville Trail 100 and previous guest of The BibRave Podcast - recorded just 2-days before the race. Ian brings us behind the scenes of his race prep, talks about how he’s feeling going into race day, and what it would take to win his fourth (!) Leadville.
We also feature an overview of Tim’s race-week prep, Jessica describing what it takes to crew a 100-mile race, and a full gear download on all of Tim’s race-day equipment.
Finally, we share the group’s final preparations before the race! The pacers arrive in Leadville and share some special moments with the runners, including some “thank you” gifts and a special reflection on their running careers with the help of Aftershokz and Athlinks. We capture the excitement and energy of the “last supper” and send Tim, Matt, and Pizza Steve off with a bang!

We have another great episode of the BibRave Podcast with co-hosts Tim and Andy! Episode #53 is brought to you by The BibRave 100 and the Under Armour Mountain Running Series.
The two discuss Tim’s recent arrival to Colorado and his preparations for next weekend’s Leadville 100. Make sure to tune in next week for special Leadville coverage and a bonus episode! Then, the duo cover some highlights from the IAAF World Championships in London - especially some memorable female accomplishments.
CORRECTION: In this episode, Tim incorrectly states that Faith Kipyegon was eliminated from the 2012 London Games for doping. Kipyegon was eliminated in the 1500m heats of the 2012 London Olympics, and then went on to win gold at Rio. Apparently, Tim is easily confused.
Next, Andy brings us up to speed on his Chicago Marathon training, and the successes with JDRF charity fund raising. Finally, Tim and Andy each share 3 notable (and hopefully) running-related items - everything from beersicles to LAX balls.

If Hawi’s last name sounds familiar, that’s because his brother is Meb Keflezighi (you know, Olympic silver medalist, New York City Marathon winner, Boston Marathon winner, etc. NBD). Meb was Hawi’s first client, but Hawi’s sports management agency now boasts an impressive roster with names like Alexi Pappas, Leo Manzano, Brenda Martinez, Zach Miller, and more.
Tim, Julia, and Hawi discuss a ton about where the Keflezighis came from (their incredible story alone is worth a listen), what it’s like to be a pro runner (salaries, sponsors, contracts), and the pressures of doping.
This is one of our favorite episodes so far, and we really hope you enjoy!

Tim chats with (and is interviewed by) Obstacle Racing Media Co-Founder Matt Davis. Tim and Matt discuss both sides of running - the Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) and the more traditional road and trail races, diving into what makes each side appealing and exciting. Matt also asks a lot of questions about Tim’s personal background, leading to some interesting new discussion around how BibRave got started and what Tim was doing beforehand.
If you’ve ever considered an OCR event, or have wondered what they’re all about, you should enjoy this episode. We also hope you dig the shake-up with Tim as both interviewer and interviewee!

Dr. David Harmon (aka Cholesterol Dave from Episode 34: Nutrition Confusion) joins the show again, and we discuss something extremely important for runners to understand: inflammation.
Dr. Harmon dispels several myths and misunderstandings about inflammation, describing what happens during inflammation and why it’s super important for performance benefits. That means, stopping inflammation through things like ice baths and ibuprofen? Probably counter productive if you want to keep those GAINS!
Anyway, another super interesting conversation and we hope you enjoy. We also filmed the recording via Facebook Live, so check it out if you want to see what everyone looks like! 😂

Tim and Julia welcome the founder of Race Guards (one of their favorite running/race organizations), Andy Voggenthaler!
Race Guards provide races with trained medical volunteers who operate in teams of two, running the entire length of the course and providing immediate medical care when needed. Andy started Race Guards after an incredible in-race emergency experience and he’s built an indispensable service to runners across the United States. The three of them also discuss some really important race-day medical and safety tips for us all to keep in mind.
You’ve probably seen Race Guards at races throughout the country, and if Andy gets his way, you’ll see them at many more 😉.

What's up! Another episode of The BibRave Podcast coming your way!
This week, Tim and Julia host Jim Klopman, author of the book Balance is Power and creator of the SlackBlock (pictured above) and the SlackBow.
Tim and Julia are both big believers that good balance is a critical component of just about any athletic endeavor, and Jim definitely hits that idea home.
The three of them talk about why balance matters - especially for runners - and they give some "quick hit" balance improvement exercises you can start incorporating into your daily routine today. They also explore the idea that balance needs to come first, regardless of whether you're a runner, yogi, pilates pro, or weight lifter - for both physical and mental benefits.

Then they reflect on the state of running, based off a panel Tim attended in Boston over the weekend, and discuss several ways the sport might improve spectator engagement. They were also happy to see most of the Leadville team out in Boston, and Jess shares some of the challenges planning to crew for three runners and four crew members.

Here we go, episode 36 of The BibRave Podcast!
In this week's episode, you'll hear about Julia's recent win at the Blooms to Brews Half Marathon in Woodland, WA! Then, perhaps ironically, Tim and Julia consider the idea that we'll all stop PR'ing someday and what that means to us as runners.
From there there they talk about Tim's upcoming trip to the Boston Marathon, airport fitness centers, the problem of race thieves and cheats, and finally a discussion about note-taking methods and Tim's most admired talent.

In Episode Episode 34, Tim and Julia welcome Dr. David Harmon to The BibRave Podcast!
Dr. Harmon is one of Tim’s good friends and running partner in Portland (remember this guy?), and he’s on the show to talk about some commonly misunderstood nutritional issues. Specifically, they talk about cholesterol and sugar, two things that we all hear a lot about but don’t fully understand. Both issues are extremely important to us as runners and as health-conscious individuals, and Dr. Harmon does a great job setting the record straight.

This week, Tim and Julia throw a salad bowl of topics at you, discussing a ton of random things that caught their eye over the past week. Some are running related, some not, and some totally out of left field.
Big subjects are Julia's successful Shamrock Run in Portland this past weekend, the "sub 2-hour attempt" and our thoughts on how legit or useful that is, vibrating foam rollers, hilarious (and infuriating) videos, and some purchases we're excited about (or considering).
Have a listen, and enjoy!

In addition to closing the show with their workouts of the week, Tim and Julia drag Kate through a surprise game of running-themed word association. 😁

Welcome to Episode 31 of The BibRave Podcast!
OK, real talk here - sometimes running just sucks. It's a sport we all love, but one we also seem to struggle so mightily to continue practicing. We can't tell you how many times we've tried to talk ourselves out of a run, mainly because it's pretty much every run 🙃. So how can something we love so much be so difficult to keep doing? Tim and Julia discuss!
Then they talk about, strangely, podcasts! Tim and Julia talk about what podcasts they listen to, what they look for in a podcast and what makes the good ones good. If you've got a podcast to suggest, hit us up at one of the social links below - we'd love to hear it!

Welcome to Episode 30 of The BibRave Podcast!
Tim and Julia give their race-recaps from the Disney Princess Half Marathon which they ran as part of the Running USA industry conference in Orlando. Last week there were some mixed feelings about Disney races, so we have some updates there 😉.
Then they bring people behind the scenes of the running industry, discussing their time at the Running USA conference. Some of the notable trends and characteristics emerge, and both left the conference even more excited about the prospects of U.S. road running.

Hey! Welcome back, glad to have you with us for Episode 29 of The BibRave Podcast! Tim, Julia, and Jessica are headed to run the Disney Princess Half Marathon as part of the Running USA industry conference in Orlando, and there are mixed feelings in the group.
Jessica is a HUGE Disney fan, Tim could take it or leave it, and Julia is pretty uncertain of what to expect and whether or not she'll like the whole Disney experience. So Jessica guides us through a Disney race weekend experience, sharing her tips one what to do and what not to do.
Along the same lines, we end the show by talking about "Runcations" vs "Racecations," how both can be great but that each needs to be planned with different priorities in mind.

In this week's episode of The BibRave Podcast, Tim and Julia welcome Dr. Joshua Russell to discuss a totally new and fascinating fitness development called Adaptive Resistance Training, or ARX.
This is a strength workout, unlike anything we’ve ever tried, using a highly advanced computer processor and motor instead of weights. For all the runners who say they KNOW they should strength train but don’t have the time, this should be very interesting.
Tim and Julia recently tried the ARX, and they talk with Dr. Russell about the ARX machine and the benefits of high-intensity training, as well as how both could be extremely valuable to runners looking to dodge the injury bug.

This week's episode of The BibRave Podcast is here for your ears! On Episode 27, Tim and Julia chat about a recent track Half Marathon they both ran. Yup - 52.5 laps, in the rain and cold, and it was awesome (at least Tim thought so. Julia however...).
Then they move to their second favorite subject, food! Tim and Julia talk about foods they are willing to spend more money on for quality, some of the differences between high/low quality foods, and they close with a bunch of useful takeaways on how they shop, plan their meals, and set themselves up to make good decisions. As often as possible... 😇
Show Notes: * The Bill Aronson Track Half (and the BATH reviews on BibRave) * Run Oregon's BATH report * Tim's 3rd place finish at the 20176 BATH * Racing Weight * Omnivore's Dilemma (not specifically discussed, but very relevant)

Dr. Ross specializes in a number of health psychology-related areas, including sports and performance, pain management, eating disorders, stress reduction, bariatrics, and mindfulness-based interventions.
The episode is chock-full of useful info that we hope you find relevant to not just running, but life in general. Check out a few of Dr. Ross' interesting one-liners along with some links from the show below.

This week's episode of The BibRave Podcast is here for your listening pleasure! On this episode, Tim and Julia welcome RunWESTIN Concierge and overall great guy, Chris Heuisler!
Chris has been a longtime friend of BibRave, and not only has very impressive running chops (RRCA-certified running coach, almost 30 marathons en route to one in all 50 states, etc.), but his thoughtful and incisive view of the running industry, as a Run Concierge, is really why they wanted to have him on the show.
What exactly is a Run Concierge? In short, Chris travels to various races throughout the country and helps runners navigate the race weekend - offering advice on everything from getting to the start, to racing strategy, to noting historic points on the course they should not miss. He’s seen many different types of runners and running trends, so it was great to get his take on the running world.
Show Notes:
RunWESTIN Concierge
Vermont City Marathon
Chris on Twitter, Instagram, and his Website
Chris' Workout of the Week - Density Metabolic: the primary focus of the workout is to enhance your ability to recruit the external obliques as they are major movers for the runner. The Circuit (4-5 sets of 8 reps per exercise, per side when applicable; weights should be heavy and challenging, but not so much where you cannot maintain form. Mindset during workout is to focus on the external obliques and their relationship with the glutes on every exercise)
Kettle Bell Uni-Loaded Rack Squat (8x per side) - Link shows two sides, but one side at a time is what Chris reco'd
Uni Dumb Bell Chest Press (8x per side, supine on floor)
Renegade Row
Kettle Bell Viking Press
Push-up Plank w/Shoulder Taps
250M Row at 95-98% RPE

Coach Flaherty drops by again!
Tons of information from the coach this week, and that includes Matt's unique backstory: Engineering degree, law school, law practice, and giving all that up to become a professional runner and coach - only to get injured right off the bat.
We also talk a lot about attitude, how important it is to control what you can control and let the chips fall where they may.
The episode ran a bit long, so this is part one of what will be a two-part interview (part two is coming next week). Some references below from the episode.
