Spikes 42 ~Retro Shoes? | This week a new pair of shoes are top of the heap and I’m right back where I started...running in Karhu shoes from Finland. A catch up chat with Julie. Some thoughts on what level of work you want to put into your running. A new microphone and software tweaks hopefully improve the quality of the show.

Spikes 41 ~ Wedding Weekend | Ok, you’ve heard enough about me being busy already...after all, who isn’t? So this podcast should be the last where the main focus seems to have drifted away from running...that said, there is a bit of running detail in there and a piece on health. So, I hope enough to entertain before a return to mainstream running stuff next week. spikespodcast@gmail.com Theme: Out Loud by Black Lab | 4/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Spikes 31 ~ Busy Week | A week with little spare time. It’s heartening to get another good report from Julie on her training. Many thanks to BlackLab for giving me permission to use Out Loud from their album Unplugged as my theme song for Spikes. I’m enjoying listening to ‘Run World Radio’ and I’ve also caught several episodes of ‘Early Morning Cruizin’. Some thoughts on how we use computers today compared to just a few years ago.

Spikes 30 ~ Ups & Downs | A week of skiing and a wedding in the French Alps...this also gave me a chance learn some more about randonee.

Spikes 29 ~ Challenging Running | A conversation this week with Andy in Lancashire as well as catching up with Julie’s training. I give some thought to running attire in colder weather but, really, if you want to read about running in the cold then get a copy of “Just A Little Run Around The World” by Rosie Swale Pope...it’s a good read. If you’d rather watch a film then there’s one I saw recently called “Inside Job” about the financial meltdown in 2008...actually it’s wholly unedifying but it does explain how the financial world brought us to this mess. | 1/17/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Spikes 28 ~ Running With Friends | Training update from Julie and a chat with Kevin...I’ve run with Julie and will run with her again...and now I feel sure I’ll run with Kevin one day. Quote from Bounce by Matthew Syed Some thoughts on strength training and life transitions....including the final transition. Reference to Nigel’s podcast Running From The Reaper and Kevin’s podcast, The Extra Mile. Played out with Black Lab’s Out Loud again. | 1/11/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Spikes 27 ~ New Year Excitement | Two projects for 2012 are now underway: breaking Julie’s pb and the running of the Liberty Loco.

Customer Reviews
Great information
I really enjoy this podcast every week. He's not preachy but he lays out the nuggets of his experience for you. I find that every episode has 1-2 really valuable things to learn and internalize.
Thanks to Peter for putting this together.
Stick with it
I wasn't a huge fan of this one the first time I listened to it; I was a beginning runner sampling a few running podcasts. I ran out of other shows on a long car trip, though, ended up listening to it out of necessity, and it really grew on me. Peter's podcast alternates between being informative and inspiring, and it's worth subscribing. I'm always ready for a run after hearing him!
Great addition to the running podcast community!
Peter brings years of experience to his podcast. His comforting an encouraging tone puts you at ease while you learn from his wealth of running wisdom regardless of your experience level. He is a great friend to to listen to while you're out on a run.
