About the podcast
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.

We sat down with Timm Chiusano at the New Balance Run House to talk about his new book, How to Get Addicted to Appreciation. Timm spent 25 years in corporate America, then found an audience making "growing up less scary" on TikTok, and his wife tricked him into his first marathon. We cover burnout, Rolling Stone, the run that taught him "this is just a phase," and his plan to hand out 26.2 copies of the book during the NYC Marathon.

We're back from NYC Marathon weekend, and it might've been our best one yet. Thomas and Aubrey ran it just for fun and got hyped up along the way by an NYPD officer and N.O.R.E. himself, while the Megs ran the course backwards and watched Jess McClain sprint into second. We also recap the New Balance Run House and our shakeout run (and the line around the block), and settle which New York song is the most overplayed on your reels.
