From Marathons to the Grand Canyon: Running Beyond Limits

Welcome to Episode 4 of Bibs and Bad Ideas

In this episode of Bibs and Bad Ideas, we welcome Sarah Whitman, an accomplished runner and TikTok creator known for her engaging running challenges. We recap some of the things we heard from Heather in episode 3 and the conversation leads us into Sarah's unique journey in long-distance running. Sarah shares her non-linear path, starting from team sports to discovering her passion for running through a marathon challenge initiated by a friend. She discusses her experiences with various running challenges. Throughout the episode, Sarah reflects on her personal growth as a runner, sharing her journey towards achieving a Boston qualifying time and the joy of running without hitting a wall during her recent races.

Meet the crew, Caleb, Danyelle, and Keith. Three friends who run marathons, lift heavy, survive Iron mans, and still somehow manage to make the worst decisions imaginable. In our intro episode, we dive into who we are, our favorite race bibs, and the truly terrible ideas that shaped us along the way.

Expect endurance stories, questionable choices, plenty of laughs, and the start of a podcast that proves athletes can be strong… and still really dumb.
