The Drop
Believe in the Run
A running podcast from Believe in the Run, The Drop is brought to you by hosts Thomas Neuberger, Robbe Reddinger, and Meaghan Murray. But this isn't your typical running podcast– we'll talk about running (of course), but also discuss a wide range of topics, from pop culture to pigeons (not real) to picking up trash here in Baltimore. We also interview elite athletes, industry insiders, musicians, coaches, and more. Follow along as we also discuss our own running highs and lows, as well as our favorite shoes and gear.

255 | European Road Trip Recap
We're finally back home in the good ol' U.S. of A, but our journey to Europe was worth it. The team recounts their days in Italy at the Diadora event before giving a full recap of a few days spent at Adidas HQ in Germany for the fourth annual "Road to Records" event. It was a long and winding road, but the future of running is bright and we were glad to witness it firsthand.

254 | Emily Halnon, Author and Trail Runner
Completing a circuit of all the Domino's Pizza in Eugene during one run may be her coolest feat, but Emily Halnon also holds the overall FKT on the 460-mile Oregon section of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) which is certainly the most impressive. Her upcoming book, "To The Gorge," explores that week-long journey and her reflections on the death of her mother after a battle with uterine cancer.

253 | The Gang Visits Venice
We made it to Italy but our luggage didn't, so we were missing some podcast mics for this episode. Nevertheless, we worked with what we had. Live from a hotel room in Venice, the gang recaps their journey and first day in the city, as they headed over to check out the newest technology and product from Diadora as they unveiled it all at Venice’s famed Arsenale, with an emphasis on Italian craftsmanship and the cultural influence of Venice on sports and footwear. We also got a glimpse into our latest Olympic innovations and a chance to talk to leadership about the future of the brand.

251 | The Boston Marathon Recap
We almost split this into two podcasts, but instead, you get the whole rundown in one shot (for better or for worse). We went up to Boston, we had an absolute blast with our New Balance group run and meet and greet on Friday, and Saturday our mind-blowing Asics run and cap giveaway on Sunday, and of course– the crown jewel of running, the 128th Boston Marathon, thanks to Adidas. There were moments of pure joy and others of slight regret. It all came together for an unforgettable weekend that we'd do a hundred times over if we could. Thank you to everyone showed up and said hello during the race, and who made this weekend a true success. You are the reason we do this and can keep doing this, and you're more of an inspiration than you know.
