Thanks for joining us for another episode of The BibRave Podcast. Episode 90 is the 2nd episode in our series of interviews from The BibRave Bonus Mile - Marker 3: Bend Road Trip Edition coming out May 16th.
Tim and Jess are joined by ultra-runner and nutritionist Stephanie Howe Violett. They talk about how she got into the sport of ultra-running, her awesome win at Western States in 2014, and her parallel path to becoming a nutritionist. Stephanie discusses why striving for a B+ in training and nutrition is the best way to maintain your active lifestyle - something us Type A runners are very bad at. And we end with a conversation about cultivating a positive social media feed, mindfulness when eating, and spirit animals!
There are a lot of great takeaways in this episode, so we hope you enjoy it. Be sure to share it with your fellow runner buds! And don’t forget to check us out on Spotify - streaming all your favorite episodes! And, as always, you can find us on social - Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
