121 | Sharon Lokedi, 2022 NYC Marathon Winner, Under Armour Athlete Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

On the hottest day in the history of the New York City Marathon this past November, Under Armour athlete Sharon Lokedi came out on top to take the crown. Running her marathon debut in the Under Armour Flow Velociti Elite, she outlasted the field with a time of 2:23:23 and stunned the running world in the process. We had Sharon in studio here at BITR HQ to talk about her experience winning New York, her mindset and preparation leading up to the race, and whether she'll be a queen when she marries Edward Cheserek (let's be real, she already is).

We also talk to Jonathan Hutnyan, Senior Product Line Manager for Under Armour about the development of the Flow Velociti Elite.

117 | Chris Ford, aka Fordy Runs Nov 25, 2022

Show notes

We never did try toad in the hole or Yorkshire pudding while we were in England, but we did finally meet Chris Ford (founder of UK-based run group Fordy Runs) at our London shakeout run with Tracksmith. We have a great time talking about what it takes to start a running group, the community of runners he's brought together, how he got into running, and of course– a bunch of shoe and gear talk.

Show notes

On this week's episode of the drop we talk with elite marathoner Andrea Pomaranski, who recently finished in the top-25 at the Berlin Marathon at 40 years of age, posting a personal best time in the distance. In the intro, we talk about our post-New York City depression, Robbe sustaining yet another injury, and of course baby pigeons, or the lack thereof.

115 | New York City Marathon Weekend Recap Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

Absolute madness is the only way to describe this past weekend. From the shakeout run with New Balance (and you) to our very hot yet very awesome day running the New York City Marathon, we recap it all in this episode of The Drop. Plus, you get a special appearance from Wide Foot Jarrett (who is kind of the guest today). Enjoy and thanks again to all of you who came to the run and showed why this community is so special.

114 | Tim West, Bandit Running Nov 04, 2022

113 | Erin Azar aka Mrs. Space Cadet Oct 28, 2022

Show notes

The second most famous runner we've ever interviewed (I mean, who can top Kipchoge?), Erin Azar is the running queen of Tiktok and Insta reels. Probably because she's funny as hell and puts out the most relatable running content that we've all experienced at some time in our run journeys. We talk about how she got started, where she's going, and the wild world of being a social media star.

112 | Mike Wardian, Ultra Runner Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Crazy and weird is the name of the game around here, so it was only appropriate that we asked Mike Wardian to come into the studio for this episode of the show. Mike is an ultrarunner sponsored by Hoka and Coros, who recently ran across the United States over 60 days. He also holds the world record for the fastest average time in the 7 marathons/7 continents/7 days challenge. This was such a great conversation about running, staying healthy, nutrition, and more.
