Name: Jeannine Avelino 

Where I live… Vancouver, BC, Canada

I’ve been a BibRave Pro for… Just over a year.

My main running goal for 2018 is: Successfully complete 2 trail Half Marathons and hopefully PB the Chicago Marathon.

My running shoes are… Adidas Ultra Boost X or Ultra Boost for road and Salomon Sense Ride for trail.

My favorite race distance is: The 15K gives you a nice mix of endurance and speed, but I do like all distances.

My pre-race routine is: Make espresso and oatmeal with berries. Usually my gear is prepped the night before so I can just enjoy my breakfast and try not to freak out 😉.

My favorite races are… Berlin Marathon, West Van Run, BMO Vancouver Marathon & Half Marathon, Allstate Hot Chocolate 15K/5K Seattle, and Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas!

My playlist consists of… Green Day, Blink 182, AC/DC, Fitz and the Tantrums, Foo Fighters, Daft Punk, Korn, Kraftwerk, Lady Gaga, No Doubt, The Offspring, Ramones, and Paul Kalkbrenner.

My race day gear checklist includes: Salomon vest, BUFF® Headwear, Adidas Ultra Boost, BOCO hat, BibRave gear, and Nuun Hydration!

Why I like being a BibRave Pro – I love connecting with the community and having the opportunity to try out different types of products. I have some great BRP friends and I love when people reach out to me to ask me for running advice.

My favorite episode of The BibRave Podcast is: The Berlin Marathon episode. I was there too and it was nice to be able to relate to some of Jessica’s experiences.

Post-race I always eat… Some kind of brunch or whatever is close by the finish line!
