The Drop

It's hard enough to run a 5:25 mile, but what about doing it nine months pregnant? Makenna Myler is a professional runner for Asics who qualified for the Olympic Trials in the 10k in 2021 and finished 14th less than a year after giving birth to her daughter. She's been running PRs ever since and in this episode we talk about what that looks like. Follow Makenna on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benzmakenz/

Meg's in Boston at the New Balance Research Lab with the Train to NYC team, but no worries, the podcast must go on. Thomas and Robbe manage to not burn headquarters down, though next week may be a different story when we go full Joe Dirt on our stash of 4th of July fireworks. Also, we talk about the On Cloudboom Echo 3, a $290 race day shoe that may or may not live up to the price tag. Also– Summer GRIT starts on Saturday! Kind of crept up on us, so not sure we even mentioned it, but we're ready to roll.

Listen up all you fans of GBBS- when you see those beautiful and intricate illustrations of the food they're about to make and bake on the show, Tom Hovey is the one behind it. He's also a dedicated runner and all-around great guy. This was a fun conversation and pairs perfectly with a buttercream cake frosting. Fire up the oven and listen in.

After a tame time in Boulder, we're back in the wild, folks. That means we talk about everything from Meg's new gambling addiction (jk... maybe) to rat trapping in Baltimore to why it's absolutely criminal that Matthew Lillard wasn't nominated for an Oscar for his flawless portrayal of Shaggy in Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Think about it though: he really was robbed. Oh, we also talk about the Adidas Boston 12 and why it's finally come around to the greatness it once was.

We tried to talk as little about running as possible, but it turns out that Emma Bates is a pretty good runner (2nd at Chicago, 5th at Boston), so it kind of snuck in at times. We did talk about life during breaks between marathon blocks, living in Colorado, martini preferences, and more.
