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.

    312 | Mark Chou, Swiftwick CEO

    Good socks mean good running, and we've always been a huge fan of Swiftwick for our feet. This week, we have an in-studio interview with new CEO Mark Chou about all things running and running a business and what's new for his made-in-the-U.S.A. apparel brand.

    311 | Nike Zoom Fly 6 / Asics Novablast 5 Double Feature + Mindless Insanity

    We'll be real– we don't even remember what happened during this train wreck of an episode that involved a debate on the consistency of ice rinks, reaching the end of the Instagram algorithm, the ongoing beef of Puma vs. Brooks, chicken soup for the soul, and terrible investing advice. Believe it or not, we eventually get around to the Nike Zoom Fly 6 and Asics Novablast 5.

    310 | Charles Wesley Godwin, Musician

    A wild and wonderful songwriter from the great state of West Virginia, Charles Wesley Godwin is also a passionate runner who incorporates it into his life both on and off the road. In this episode, Robbe chats with him about music, touring, Venus fly traps, baseball, The Avett Brothers, and being a Mountaineer. This was just a really great conversation that probably could've gone on for hours; if you're a fan of music, running, and/or life, you're going to enjoy this one.

    309 | NYC Marathon Recap

    We took the train to New York City and Meg and Karl ran a race with 50,000 friends. Needless to say, it was a pretty fun weekend and we got to share it with a whole bunch of you. Here's our recap, with plenty of side tangents along the way. And yes, we talk about Matt Choi (but recorded this episode before he gave his apology). Can't think of anything more dramatic that happened this past week...

    307 | Diadora Nucleo 2, Lego Brick Builders, Car Talk, Amsterdam Report

    We're in that floating period of fall marathons where some of us are tapering while others are taking a running sabbatical. No worries, we find a way to fill the space with Lego talk and Ryan's post-Amsterdam Marathon race report in addition to a myriad of other topics that has Meg descending into madness. But at least her Ultra Human Air ring can tell her whether she's losing her mind or staying healthy and sane.

    306 | Rhythm in the Darkness

    We love music and we love ultrarunning and this episode is a perfect intersection of those two things. From touring with Katy Perry and playing for Kelly Clarkson to starring on this season of The Voice, Kyle Whalum, Brad Sample, and Caleb Gilbreath are friends, professional musicians, and self-proclaimed running nerds who set out to train for, and complete the Pinhoti 100 ultramarathon on top of their already chaotic lives as they struggle to balance family life with the chaos of the music industry. Rhythm in the Darkness is a documentary about all of that and more, and so is today's conversation. It's a fun one for sure, so make sure you check out the documentary and the corresponding album at the links below.

    305 | Baltimore Running Festival, Spooky Season, Pickleball Madness

    We wanted to make sure we covered everything you needed to know about running this week, and that means considering what archaeologists will think of our 10-foot-tall skeleton decorations when they're unearthed 5,000 years from now. We also get a recap of the Baltimore Running Festival from the overall winner, Under Armour athlete Willy Fink, who ran the fastest course time since 2012. Enjoy the tricks, hopefully they're a treat. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

    303 | Chicago Marathon Recap, Bagel Talk, Deep Dish Slander

    Look, everything in Chicago was great, especially the Chicago Marathon and the big group of running raccoons wearing Believe singlets as they chased down their goals over 26.2 miles. The epic shakeout run was also pretty rad. But we're just saying that maybe deep dish isn't for us and that tavern pizza is mid. The dogs ruled, though. Unsurprisingly, we manage to talk mostly not about the marathon, but eventually we get around to it.


    Thanks to MarathonFoto and New Balance and Endorphins Running and Fleet Feet for a special weekend, let's run it back again.

    302 | Kilian Jornet, The Greatest Trail Runner and Ski Mountaineer of All Time

    No matter what his Wikipedia entry says, everyone in the world knows that Kilian Jornet is the greatest. We were so lucky to interview this legend about all his life's adventures, including his most recent feat with the Alpine Connections, in which he traversed all 82 peaks of 4,000 meters or more in the Alps, doing it in 19 days while covering over 220,000 feet in elevation gain. We talk about that endeavor, growing up in the mountains, raising kids to be independent, and so much more. Thanks to Coros for this opportunity and to Kilian for sharing his story.
