rF Live Broadcast Peter Englebrecht of Speedy Sneakers

Before Speedy Sneakers, Peter traveled the world as a Corporate Auditor, visiting every continent except for Australia; “I absolutely loved that job,” says Peter. While auditing, Peter created a running program on the side in order for him and his wife to be active without going to the gym. Speedy Sneakers first started out as a walking and running club for women. Peter states “It was just ladies, because I knew that the ladies were really good about community, that they said if they were gonna be somewhere, they will be there.”

The program met twice a week at a metro park to train and work on their goals. Peter marketed Speedy Sneakers as a noncompetitive, healthy, recreational, fun program. Peter created a personalized training program for each member and their goals. The goals ranged from simply wanting to get in better shape to competing in a half-marathon. Peter never had any experience creating training programs for others, but he had the confidence he could help them with their goals. “I really did care about them, in the aspect that I really wanted them to reach their goals,” says Peter.
