Program 34 features an interview with the organizer of the Abbotsford Run For Water and the all new Ride For Water.

In our interview with Peg Peters we find out about his motivation for the creation of the event, his alliance with local “Gravel King” Matt Scott, as well as why the events are just as much a party as they are a great fundraiser.

Also in this week’s program we have part 3 of Vince Speeks. Vince tells us about his transition from professional soccer player to university student to triathlete. Hear it all by pressing play below!

Thanks for waiting! Here is part two of our interview with Vancouver professional triathlete Nathan Killam, a guy his competitors call a pyscho on the downhills, and the most positive pro male triathlete competing today.

We dust off that veneer and reveal his murky obsessions with Zwift and peanut butter, we discover his least favourite triathlon workouts, his ITU world championships challenges.

We end of the interview with Nathan putting on his coaching hat and offering advice to folks who are doing their first Ironman Canada.

Hang on for an interesting, motivating, and sometimes hilarious sixty minutes with Fitspeek favourite Nathan Killam. Last year we told you the story of this former heavy duty mechanic-Burger King lover turned fire fighter and professional triathlete. This year we caught up with Nathan between training sessions as he prepares for his best ever performance at the long course triathlon near Paso Robles, California.

Since last year Nathan has had a number of changes in his life including being a dad! In the interview you’ll hear how he manages the demands of being a full-time elite triathlete, father, husband, and working guy.
