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.
