The BibRave Podcast Ep. 37: The State of Running

Bam! Episode 37 of The BibRave Podcast is up!

This week, Tim and Julia welcome back BibRave Co-Founder and Managing Director of Runner’s World, Jessica Murphy!

Tim and Jessica talk about the Boston Marathon from their spectator and running industry perspectives. Pop-up shops, cool running brands, expos, exciting races and lots of great food/drinks are all featured themes. Then they reflect on the state of running, based off a panel Tim attended in Boston over the weekend, and discuss several ways the sport might improve spectator engagement. They were also happy to see most of the Leadville team out in Boston, and Jess shares some of the challenges planning to crew for three runners and four crew members.
