The Drop

The gang tries to acclimate to rising temps which can only mean one thing - it's Legion season and Robbe has a custom Fractel hat coming out on Monday. We also get a little deep and discuss our 'whys' of running, but the tangents are as weird as always. Finally, we chat about the new On Cloudrunner 2, which may or may not be your best stability option.

After a late start to running, Los Angeles math teacher Bobby Imamura became hooked on marathons, just like the rest of us. But at one point, he wasn't sure why. Until he started running with ALS (formerly known as Lou Gherig's disease) athletes, and seeing their goals become his own. Along the way, with the support of Tata Consultancy Services, they nearly broke the world record for running a marathon with a wheelchair while making an impact on all those around him. In April, Bobby finished the London Marathon for his sixth and final star of the Abbott World Marathon Majors.Watch Bobby's documentary on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JwaFDStDb0I

We went mining on Threads to get some topics for this week's podcast and they hit hard on everything from running trends to race questions to... just kidding, it all went off the rails.

We're finally back home in the good ol' U.S. of A, but our journey to Europe was worth it. The team recounts their days in Italy at the Diadora event before giving a full recap of a few days spent at Adidas HQ in Germany for the fourth annual "Road to Records" event. It was a long and winding road, but the future of running is bright and we were glad to witness it firsthand. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS! Lagoon Pillows: Get the best night of sleep with Lagoon Pillows.

Completing a circuit of all the Domino's Pizza in Eugene during one run may be her coolest feat, but Emily Halnon also holds the overall FKT on the 460-mile Oregon section of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) which is certainly the most impressive. Her upcoming book, "To The Gorge," explores that week-long journey and her reflections on the death of her mother after a battle with uterine cancer.
