Fresh off her first place finish at the legendary Western States Endurance Run (where she ran the third-fastest time ever), Adidas Terrex pro Ruth Croft joins us to talk about her training leading up to the race, her fueling, her strategy, and how the heck she got into ultrarunning in the first place. &nbsp;

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.
