The Drop

Some of us went on a bougie vacation to the islands last week, others ran 90 miles (you can probably guess which ones). Thomas makes us jealous with his tales of the Caribbean life, Robbe gets out his pent-up frustrations on the ubiquity of Taylor Swift in all aspects of life, and Meg just wants to listen to country music in peace. We also talk about the On Cloudeclipse, a shoe in which Meg has already logged 100 miles. Lagoon Pillows is how we get our good sleep.

No introduction needed, Kofuzi is a now-legend in the shoe reviewer space and our favorite YouTuber out there. Outside of shoe reviews, he's also one of our favorite people to hang out with because he's 100% always down for a good time. Which is what we do on this episode of The Drop.

Is the New York City Marathon weekend a national holiday? At this point, it should be. Our last stop on the train to NYC took us right into the heart of marathon weekend, where we met and hung out with so many of you. From the expo to the shake out run with New Balance to the marathon itself, we're not sure anything can top what just went down. Hear all about our full in-depth recap of the weekend and the race itself, and forgive us if we get a little lost along the way. Special thanks to New Balance and New York Road Runners, and of course, to all of you. We really have a special community of runners and couldn't do it it without your support.

Carmen Sandiego taught us nothing about geography and it shows (sorry, Europe). But it's the calm before the storm as we embrace the empire state of mind in our lead-up to this weekend's New York City Marathon. We also go deeper personally than we ever have, thanks to Robbe's mid-podcast confessional. Of course, we also talk about the Asics Novablast 4, one of the most-anticipated running shoes of 2023.
