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.
