The Drop

Latest Episodes:

151 | Charlie Watson, Runnerbeans May 01, 2023

Show notes

We talked about her entry into running (her first marathon was London in 2012, where she ran for MIND in memory of her university housemate, Vic, who sadly took his own life after battling depression). Thoughts on being considered an influencer. How she’s a Six Star finisher. Her fertility journey -- she just had a child via surrogacy. And her next goal of hitting a BQ at the Valencia Marathon.

150 | Li-Ning, Martinis on Days That End in 'Y', Venus Fly Traps, Lot Lizards & More Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

Our break from Boston has gone a bit sideways and we're okay with it. Thomas and Meaghan go full James Bond in their drinking, Robbe buys his family's first pet, and our running is full of injuries as usual (we'll be okay). We also talk about the Li-Ning Feidian 3 Ultra, a performance shoe that may or may not cost $500.

148 | Boston Marathon Recap Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

Do we really need a description for this one? I guess so, since it's sponsored by Saysky. This is our Boston Marathon recap, where we rundown the entire Boston Marathon weekend, from meet-ups to shakeout runs race day itself. It was nothing short of amazing, as you probably know if you were there. It also produced way more bathroom stories than we could ever imagine possible, much to Meg's chagrin.

146 | Asics Gel-Cumulus 25, Ziplining, Spirited Away, Sweat Hydration Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

Thomas and Meaghan take on quite the adventure the week before the Boston Marathon. Robbe finishes watching Spirited Away and learns that you can't drink a shirt. Thomas encounters a rabid dog in his own house. We cover the Asics Gel-Cumulus 25 and wonder where it fits in at this point.

145 | Casey Comber, Under Armour Pro Athlete Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

His name would have you think he bats cleanup for the 1927 Yankees, but Casey Comber is actually an Under Armour athlete with the UA Mission Run team right here in Baltimore. (Update: the man just finished in second-place at the iconic B.A.A. Mile over Boston Marathon weekend, less than a half-second behind winner Hobbs Kessler.) We got him into the studio to talk shoes, life as a professional athlete, and what it's like to sleep in an altitude tent all the time.

144 | Puma Foreverrun Nitro, Cherry Blossom Recap, Tetris Blox, & the Great Cornholio Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

We went down to D.C. and did our cherry blossom thing as we led a run through the pouring rain on Saturday and raced a windy route on Sunday. We recap that whole thing, we talk about Tetris, we check in on our own running, and we tell you how to hang with us in Boston. Thanks for everyone who showed up this past weekend, can't wait to see a bunch of y'all in less than two weeks.

143 | Theresa Hailey, Engineer & 2:36 Marathoner Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

Always cool when you're qualify for the Olympic Trials once. But how about doing it twice, while working at your day job as a Boeing engineer? That's exactly what Theresa Hailey has done, lowering her marathon time to 2:36 in the process with a top-25 finish at the Chicago Marathon in 2022. We talk about how she got into running, balancing her running with a full-time job, and holding down pacing duties at the 2022 California International Marathon (CIM).

142 | Nike Vaporfly Next% 3, Rainy Spring Running, Electric Fence Fun & More Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

It's raining in Baltimore, and we're running in it. In the Nike Vaporfly Next%3, specifically.
