The team trained up to New York City to run the Brooklyn Half Marathon down to Coney Island as the first stop on our Train To NYC 2. We recap the race weekend, Thomas's experience with Dave's Hot Chicken, Jarrett's excellent race day, Meg's very solid progression run, and more. We also give our first thoughts on the New Balance SC Trainer v2. This episode is sponsored by Lagoon pillows, we get crazy good sleep with them and you should too.

Florida man does 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. David Kilgore did just that as part of his job as a sponsored Red Bull athlete. Oh, he's also the Global Head of Sports Innovation for On. And he's a professional trail runner who lives in New York City, which totally makes sense. All that to say– we had a great time talking to this amazing athlete about all his wild adventures.

From Jesus lizards to birthday presents to announcing summer GRIT, we recap the past week of running and not running and everything in between. We also have a legend checking in this go around, so don't miss that. We also figure out if the Nobull Runner+ is a real running shoe (it is, mostly).

Thomas and Meg sit down and chat with Ali Feller, host of the number one running podcast in America (every once in awhile we get there too) and probably also the nicest person in America. She's also a race announcer, recently handling finish line duties at the Boston Marathon. She's also a marathoner. And a mom. And a wife. She's pretty much a transformer but not in disguise. And she just ran a 3:41 marathon PR in Eugene! Hope you enjoy this talk as much as we did.

Things get regional on this episode of the drop as we discuss coke and pop, tennis shoes and sneakers, and also try to figure out Formula One. We also talk about our experience with Gnarly Hydrate margaritas and how Meg may have a new career in betting since her family won't support her. Drop your FanDuel referral link in the comments. Oh, we also talk about the Asics Magic Speed 3, a tempo trainer that seems like a sizable improvement over last year.
