The BibRave Podcast

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. 😬

Hope you’re ready to get a little meta with this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast! 

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!
