Stay ConnectedWelcome to the BibRave Podcast, a show about all things running and racing! We cover a random assortment of topics, (almost) all of which relate in some way to running, runners, health, fitness, nutrition, races, and GEAR!
If you like what you hear, please subscribe in iTunes and tell your runner buddies about us. Thanks for listening!
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.
