130 | Nike Invincible 3, Fortune Cookies, Race Day Haircuts, Thomas Almost Quits Running Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

You asked for more nonsense, you got it. In this episode of The Drop "running" podcast, we cover everything from fortune and misfortune cookies to race day haircuts to Thomas wanting to almost quit running after this past weekend. We also talk about the Nike Invincible 3 and honestly a lot of other stuff but we forget what it was because it basically leaves our mind after it leaves our mouths.

129 | Jereny Rivera, From 5:30 to 2:45 Marathoner Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

Want to know how to halve your first marathon time? Ask Jereny Rivera, which is what we did for this guest episode of The Drop.
Jereny started running in 2015 and ran her first marathon in 5 hours and 25 minutes. Since then, she's lost over 50 lbs and knocked 2.5+ hours off her time. Just last month she ran a 2:47 in Houston and is looking to hit the OTQ time this year. She's also a run streaker, cause of course she is.

128 | Hoka Clifton 9, Carnival Rides, Spy Balloons, Donna Half Marathon Recap Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

We're changing it up, folks. From now on, you're getting two podcasts a week: one that's just us, and one that's just the guest (dropping on Monday). Unless it doesn't work, then we'll go back to the original format.
Anyway, on this week's podcast we cover a variety of topics, including: carnival rides, spy balloons, Donna Half Marathon recap, our Tokyo training, the divisive Adidas Boston celebration jackets, and the Hoka Clifton 9. Also a lot more nonsense.

127 | Brent James, Tracksmith Designer Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

Two roads diverged in a wood and Brent James took the one where he ends up as the Senior Product Manager at Tracksmith. Meaning, he was behind the design of the Eliot Runner, Tracksmith's first foray into footwear. He walks us through the development process of the shoe, how the production process works, and how he ended up at Tracksmith.

126 | Matt West, Guitarist for Neck Deep Jan 27, 2023

Show notes

Most of our guests don't sell out arenas or tour with Blink-182, but this one does. Matt West is the guitarist for UK pop-punk band Neck Deep, and he's also a runner who found running as a way to live a healthy life while touring the world nonstop.

125 | Houston Marathon Recap (Meg Hits Another PR!) Jan 20, 2023

Show notes

Houston Marathon weekend was a wild one, with shakeout runs, meeting listeners and followers, and of course– racing. Meg recaps her race day as she hit another PR, while Thomas came back from injury to finish the half marathon strong. No guest this week, but we do bring back the Asics Superblast onto the show, as we've all been picking it up for a lot of our runs these days.

124 | Devon Yanko, Ultra Runner Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

After being diagnosed with lupus this past fall, Devon Yanko just kept doing what she's always been doing– running, including a win at the golden-ticket Javelina Jundred 100 mile race. It was another notch in a career of impressive finishes, including a win at the legendary Leadville 100. We talk a little bit about running in this podcast, but we also talk a lot about life, living with a disease that debilitates the body at a moment's notice, and the current state of running sponsorships.

123 | Rose Harvey, First-Place Brit at London Marathon Jan 06, 2023

Show notes

What's it like getting hit by a car 10 days before the London Marathon then finishing as the first-place Brit? Well, we find out from today's guest, Puma athlete Rose Harvey. We talk about her former career as a lawyer before she was made redundant during the pandemic and decided to focus on running. Turns out, she's pretty great at it, and now she's a pro.
