What’s Up, Runners! Welp, after five incredible years filled with amazing guests, enlightening conversations, and more fun than we ever thought we’d have, we’ve decided to sunset The BibRave Podcast. Today's episode is #260 and the Grand Finale! We originally created the show as a way for BibRave to contribute to the larger conversation around running, hoping to find and connect with new people, stories, and movements. After 260 episodes we feel so blessed to check every one of those boxes several times over. We’ve chatted with some of the biggest names in running, helped elevate stories that were under-represented or under-appreciated, and we’ve learned so much from all of our guests and listeners. Tim, Jess, and all of the rotating cast of characters are so grateful for the time you’ve spent with us in your ears, and we’re going to miss chatting you up through all those miles. Why are we ending the show? Well, that’s what Episode 260 is all about. Tim and Jess talk about t...
What’s Up, Runners! Here’s the latest episode of The BibRave Podcast, featuring long-time guest and our leading source for improved mental health, Dr. Justin Ross! Dr. Ross is a clinical psychologist specializing in health and wellness psychology, human performance, and sport psychology. He’s a regular on The BibRave Podcast and has been the star of some of our favorite episodes.

Dr. Ross helps us define and control the negative elements of Pandemic Flux Syndrome, providing interesting points of reflection and action items to take control of our minds and emotions. This episode is sponsored by and features a really cool interview with the Founder of...
What’s Up, Runners! We’re stoked to bring you the latest episode of The BibRave Podcast, featuring Knockaround Founder, Adam “Ace” Moyer! In a How I Built This-styled episode, Tim chats with Ace and Liam Norman (leading voice of the brand) about the company's founding over 15 years ago and what makes the brand tick. It’s a delightful convo featuring two really thoughtful but laid-back guys who are clearly working exactly where they should be. Founded in 2005 when Ace was studying visual arts at UC-San Diego, Knockaround started from humble yet inspiring beginnings, eventually becoming a multi-million dollar lifestyle brand and business.

What’s Up, Runners! For this week’s episode of The BibRave Podcast, we’re bringing back our resident dietician and badass runner extraordinaire, Katie Hynes!! Tim, Jess, and Katie talk about a lot of diet-related issues, but they really focus on vegan and vegetarian diets. There are a lot of misconceptions about each, both positive and negative, and the three talk through the nuances of how each diet can work for runners. And for all the omnivores out there (like Tim & Jess), there’s a lot of great overall nutrition advice too! They discuss why Katie had been vegan for so long but is now “flexitarian,” where most vegans and vegetarians get their protein, and the importance of complete proteins, specific protein powders, leucine, and other key nutrients.

What’s Up, Runners! We have such a fun and interesting episode of The BibRave Podcast that we decided to give it to you early! Tim and Jess are talking with Jay Holder, recently back from the Tokyo Olympics where he worked as Deputy Venue Media Manager for the Olympic Stadium. In this episode, Jay gives us the inside scoop on what can only be called the weirdest Olympics ever! Jay’s duties in Tokyo covered everything from building out press operations (for all Athletics competition as well as Opening/Closing Ceremonies), coordinating press seats for each Athletics competition, moderating all post-competition medal press conferences, and so much more! Jay also works as Marketing and Communications Director for the Atlanta Track Club, so his experience and skills were perfectly suited to support the Olympics in a COVID world. Jay’s high-level role in coordinating media and athlete interviews throughout the Tokyo Olympics gave him the perfect access to all of the best “behind the scenes” stories. He was in Tokyo for 9 weeks total, the first 16 days of which were under an extremely strict quarantine. Jay did an amazing job sharing his experience in real time via his Instagram account, and we’re thrilled that he was able to chat with us to share more details!

We’re so excited to welcome Dean Karnazes to this episodeof The BibRave Podcast! Dean is someone we’ve known about for a long time but have only recently gotten to know. In short, this man is a fountain of youth (which we discuss) and his latest book has so much to offer ALL types of runners or athletes. Dean’s newest book, A Runner’s High isn’t a book about Dean’s long-distance running exploits (of which there are MANY), nor is it a book promoting distance running. But it is about the struggle of aging as our minds and bodies come into conflict, and we talk a lot about these kinds of conflicts (especially where biological age and chronological age divert). Dean is an amazing guy with so many great stories, and he’s truly one of the best ambassadors for our sport. We hope you check out A Runner’s High and that you enjoy this episode!

We’re stoked to bring you another episode of The BibRave Podcast! Today we’re welcoming back Dr. David Harmon (aka Cholesterol Dave from past episodes) to talk all about Vitamin D! Dr. Dave gives Tim & Jess the scoop on this essential micronutrient, including the history of Vitamin D and how it’s detected and measured. They also dive into the function Vitamin D serves – why do we need it, what happens when we are deficient, and how do we make sure we get enough of this bomb vitamin ().

Such a fun interview in this episode of The BibRave Podcast! Tim and Jess talk with Mikah Meyer who - in case you missed his 3-year, world record road trip to all 419 U.S. National Park Service sites - was also the first openly gay man featured in an Outdoors Recreation Campaign (which he did with REI). The three talk about Mikah’s experience traveling across the country to all of the National Parks and also running across Mississippi and Minnesota. Mikah shares his passion for making the outdoors a safe space for everyone, and why certain groups feel excluded or worse when the environment isn’t clearly welcoming for all. Have you ever had to worry about whether or not it was safe to hold your loved one’s hand in a park or on a trail? Mikah has and he’s made it his life’s work to erase that worry for others.

We’re so excited to welcome trailblazing transathlete, Chris Mosier to The BibRave Podcast! Chris Mosier is an amazing hall of fame triathlete, All-American duathlete, and a 6-time member of Team USA. In 2015, he became the first known transgender man to represent the United States in international competition and was the catalyst for change for the International Olympic Committee policy on transgender athletes. He is also a 2x National Champion and the first transgender athlete to compete in the Olympic Trials in any sport in a category different than their sex assigned at birth. Tim and Jess host Chris for a fascinating and educational conversation about transgender issues as they relate to all sports - especially at the youth level. No matter where you stand on the subject (or where you think you stand), this is a really important conversation the delves into the recent legislation and controversy surrounding transgender athlete rights and access to sport.
