Ask Better Questions, Run Better Conversations
This week on Behind the Bib, we’re getting real about that one question we need to remove from our post-race convos: “What was your time?” 🥴 Whether you're toeing the line at the upcoming Shamrock 5K, gearing up for the hills of the Oak Barrel Half, heading to the Bridge Street Town Centre Half, or going full fish-mode at the Salmon Run — this one's for you.
We talk about why that question kind of misses the point, especially for back-of-the-pack runners, and how asking something better can change the whole vibe. Need ideas? I've got you. Straight from a Runner’s World article I love — and from my own experience on the course.
If you're running this weekend (or cheering someone on), here’s your homework:
Ditch “What was your time?” and try something that actually celebrates the runner. 💬
🎧 Give it a listen and get ready to support your fellow runners in a more meaningful way.
✨ New runner? Mid-packer? Back-of-the-pack legend? You belong here.
🎧 Tune in, laugh a little, and this weekend — ask someone a better question.
