Even though the weather has been pretty ugly out there, it has been very sunny in the Fitspeek studio. Kevin Watt and I have just completed Fitspeek Ten. It is our most ambitious podcast to date. Be listening for the Wenting’s Word of the Week in the last ten minutes of the show. You will want to enjoy the whole enchilada though, as we have episode 3 of Bob’s Bits and the great interview with Burnaby’s Craig Premack.  On his journey to do his first Ironman and Paris-Brest-Paris ride Craig had to overcome a major setback.

If you are enjoying your off-season and are looking for a low-key event to introduce your friends or family to the intensity and challenges of a running race, or you are NOT in the off-season and want to test your current level of fitness, the Cares Run for mental heath in Abbotsford would be a great opportunity for you. The run is taking place at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford on Saturday October 15th at 9 AM. It features 1K, 5K, and 10K distances. I had a chance to speak with Cares Run organisers Irene Heinrichs and Lesley Shebib about the history and purpose of the run. You can hear the interview below and you can get more information by following this link http://www.cares.ca/viewcategory/25

Coming up next Saturday (December 3rd) is the ninth edition of the Abbotsford Santa Shuffle. In this feature interview with the ever-enthusiastic Marie Lashley, we talk about the course, the charity involved, and of course….reindeer! Start your festive season now by pressing play

The Fraser Valley is home to some EPIC bike rides and running trails and even more EPIC athletes. In our newest feature “Kings & Queens of Strava” Fitspeek’s roving reporter (and Liv Cycling’s Ambassador) Crystal Lambert speaks with some of the people who are crushing it out there on Strava. For our first King of Strava, we need to go no further than our back yard…the Seventh Avenue Climb in Mission. All will be revealed by pushing play below.

  The Fitspeek podcast is my way of being able to show respect to my dear friend Nigel. Along with the podcast, I have been invited to help organize a non-profit  100km/200km ride to promote mental awareness.  http://www.positivespincycle.com  We have all been affected by mental health in way or another.   Jeff Oram, president of Phoenix Velo Training Club said to me once,  "Kevin doesn't run from the mountain, He runs to it" Through the Positive Spin Ride, if I am able to help or reach just one person,  I know I will have  helped a small handful of people.
