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.

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. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS! Lagoon Pillows Get the best night of sleep with Lagoon Pillows. We do.
