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.

There are some eye-opening stats and info about what different types of booze do to your body, and some good takeaways for how to minimize any damage that comes with “sampling the sauce.”

Welcome back for Episode 75 of The BibRave Podcast! Make sure to check us out on Spotify - streaming all your favorite episodes from Team BibRave.
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!

Tim and Jess host this week, and talk a little bit about Jess’s upcoming Disney Marathon weekend before diving in deep with special guest Ted Metellus, who gives us a ring while on the road. Ted is the Director of Race Course Operations for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series, and has won the Professional of the Year Award from the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety & Security - so he knows a thing or two about race operations and security.
Ted walks us through all the changes in the lead-up to Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas after the Oct 1, 2017 shootings took place across from the Mandalay Bay (the planned venue for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas pre-race concert and starting line staging area). He also shares insight into ALL of the behind-the-scenes operational details that go into making sure us runners have smooth and seamless experiences on race day. Yes, there’s a reason you have to get to the start 1.5 hours early!
Most of all, you can feel how much Ted genuinely cares about his events, the communities he works with, and the runners on race day. Check out the latest episode below. Also, don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, and if you like what you hear, please leave a review.
