About this listen

 You aren’t just a cyclist, and you aren’t just a runner. You’re the athlete who refuses to choose—the one with a bike on the rack and running shoes in the trunk. Welcome to Spoke and Sole, the podcast dedicated to the broader running and cycling community. Each week, we explore the intersection of these disciplines, providing practical training advice and spotlighting you, the Essential Athlete. The tradespeople, technicians, and professionals balancing a high-demand career with high-performance miles. Whether you are putting in the work on foot or in the saddle, we are your community hub for endurance culture in New England and beyond. What you’ll find in our episodes: • ROAD RACE & GROUP RIDE REVIEWS: Honest, boots-on-the-ground reports from regional events, detailing everything from course difficulty to local pack etiquette. • MAJOR EVENT COVERAGE: Hybrid-lens commentary on the Tour de France, the Classics, and the World Marathon Majors. • THE ESSENTIAL ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT: A dedicated segment highlighting the grit of working professionals who crush their goals in the margins of a 40-hour week. • TRAINING & GEAR: Practical insights on balancing two disciplines without burning out, plus reviews of gear that transitions from the road to the trail.

    Welcome to the Spoke and Sole Podcast, home of the Essential Athlete.

    In this inaugural "session," your group leader, Terrance, pulls back the curtain on why this community exists. We aren't here for the elites or the purists who tell you that you have to pick a side. We are here for the hybrid athletes—the ones with a bike on the rack and muddy trail shoes in the trunk.

    In this episode, we dive into:

    • Breaking the "Elite" Barrier: Why everyone, from the first-timer on a 10-year-old mountain bike to the sub-7-minute-miler, has a seat at our table.
    • The Hybrid Identity: How to find synergy and balance between the saddle and the pavement without burning out.
    • The Essential Athlete: A tribute to the tradespeople and professionals—the electricians, analysts, nurses, and plumbers—who keep society moving and bring that same discipline to their training.
