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.

    285 | Paris Recap, Favorite Olympic Moments, Berlin & Chicago Marathons are Comin'

    Dreams do come true, folks. The team headed to Paris last week, so we decided to check out some of the local events, like the Olympic Games. There was dancing and cheering and food and drinks. Group runs galore, where Robbe wore his Legionnaire to the Louvre, a modern art masterpiece if there ever was one. It was truly an amazing experience and we're glad we got to see a bunch of you in the process. Not, it's time to get ready for Berlin and Chicago. We'll sleep when we're dead. Looking to run sub-4 at Chicago? Join our unofficial group to help pace you along the way.

    282 | Drew Petersen, Ultrarunner, Pro Skier & Mental Health Advocate

    Professional skier Drew Petersen had everything he could want in life, but inside, he was falling apart. He finally found help and turned his life around and has committed himself to helping others do the same. This was a really great talk about mental health, the struggles that many of us deal with, and the light that comes when we realize we're not alone and asking for help is not a weakness. Along the way, Drew found ultrarunning and he will be running his hometown race– the Leadville 100– this August, while releasing his documentary Feel it All at the sound of the starting gun.
