  • 20. Crewing and Pacing the Badwater 135
    Oct 3 2025

    Send us a text

    Hi everyone, in this episode of the Journey Running Podcast, I recap my experience crewing and pacing the Badwater 135. In this episode, I do my best to provide invaluable insights for runners, crews and pacers through story telling about what my experience out there was like.

    Notable talking points include: discussions about our runner's highs and lows and how to improve upon those in the future, discussing important points on the course, organization of the crew vehicle, making sure you plan a sleep strategy before the event, mental toughness, and so on.

    If you'd like to hear more about the Badwater 135 through a runner's perspective, you can check out episode 19 of the Journey Running Podcast, where I had on our runner, Danny Manimbo.

    As always, thank you for taking the time to listen!

    Enjoy the episode!
    -Stefan
