The mics are hot, and for the first time, the cameras are rolling! (You can check out the video version of this episode on our YouTube channel). Today, Group Leader Terrance sits down with co-host Anthony to talk about the true DNA of the Spoke & Sole podcast.

We are taking it back to our roots, the founding of the "We Run This Town" run club, and the two very different paths that forced us to pivot from strictly lacing up to becoming dedicated dual-sport enthusiasts. From Anthony catching the triathlon bug to Terrance navigating doctor-mandated back rehab, this is the origin story of the brotherhood, the brand, and the mindset behind the Essential Athlete.

We want to hear from you: Which came first for you—the bike or the run? Hit us up on Instagram or head over to our YouTube channel and drop a comment on the video to let us know!

In this session, we cover:

• The early days of the local running scene and the genesis of "We Run This Town."
• Anthony’s transition from strictly running to buying his first triathlon bike.
• Terrance’s back injury, the warning signs, and pivoting to the saddle out of necessity.
• The physical and mental benefits of balancing the spoke and the sole to prevent burnout.
• The community of phenomenal people we've met on the roads, and what to expect from the future of the show.
