#255: Jared Ward’s Take on the Tokyo Olympics

What’s Up, Runners! 

Big episode of The BibRave Podcast for you this week as we roll into coverage of the Tokyo Olympic Marathon. The women and men race next Saturday and Sunday respectively, so we brought on baller-Olympian, Jared Ward, for some insight and analysis! 

As a quick refresher, Jared represented Team USA at the Rio Olympics in 2016. He absolutely crushed it on race day and finished 6th - a spectacular showing and an amazing moment in his career! Tim and Jared talk about Tokyo, what runners can expect from being at the Olympics, how the Olympics differ from a Major Marathon, the weather in Sapporo, the field and whom to watch, the course, and more!
