The Drop

Always fun when you have to re-record an entire episode. That's what we had to do this week (after recording one of our best episodes over). We tried to replicate it the best we could by recapping the Super Bowl and the Millrose Games, marveling at Skechers audacity and insistence on ripping off On, and reminsicing about smoky dive bars and 8-bit video games. We also talk about the On Cloudsurfer 2, a daily trainer and first shoe of the On "SOFT WINS" campaign.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!SOARWe've partnered with SOAR to offer one lucky listener a SOAR Race Vest and Marathon Shorts to update their racing wardrobe.

There's a hole in this ship and the only that can fix it Billy Mays (RIP) and flex tape. Even then, probably not. This week on The Drop, we surprisingly do talk a good bit about running, including the strength of our trail team, Paris Fashion Week, whether or not we know what intervals and repeats mean. We also discuss the totally wild and renewed version of the Hoka Cielo X1 2.0.Onyx Coffee Lab: https://onyxcoffeelab.com/Check outUpper Void: https://www.instagram.com/uppervoid_/Check out the artwork of Isabella Di Sclafani: https://www.instagram.com/isabelladisclafaniSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSLMNTEventually it's going to be cold outside, but you're still going to need salt and electrolytes to get your body right.

Our brains are mostly frozen, which is how we went a whole podcast forgetting to give our respect to Conner Mantz at the Houston Marathon. But we do manage to talk about running shoes, including the Brooks Glycerin 22, while mixing in a whole bunch of other interests, including our favorite TV shows of all-time.

Last weekend was a blast running with the GRIT gang here in Baltimore, so in this week's episode of The Drop, we recap that. Meg was having the worst run ever in Charleston, so she dives into that, as well as how she got to see the Bob Dylan movie six months in advance. We also cover the return of Shelby Houlihan and the state of Strava before getting into all the details of the Hoka Bondi 9. We'll going to Miami! Come join us for a shakeout run and hang out with us on a freakin' yacht, where you can demo the Bondi 9 and snag some free swag, including a pair of Goodr sunglasses.
