One of our first podcast guests ever is back on The Drop after almost four years away. Lindsay is an Asics pro athlete and elite women's marathoner who recently finished 8th at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. We get an inside look at her training, running high mileage, and what it's like living in Australia. Side note: she's also very good at trivia.

247 | On Cloudmonster Hyper, Easter Eggin', Panic Attacks, Cider Talk Apr 05, 2024

Show notes

It's taper time for Boston and the gang is barely holding on. Illness, dislocated shoulders, and panic attacks- we can barely fit it all in. Special guest Jarrett joins us this week to talk about his apple cider basicness and getting shamed by Patient First doctors, Thomas needs to the hype of Chipotle to come back, and Meg tries her best to keep Dune out of the conversation. We also have special guest check-ins thanks to our friend Lin who stopped by HQ. Last but not least, we talk about the On Cloudmonster Hyper.
