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.

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.

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.
