Run Leader/Coordinator

Peter has run for most of his adult life. He ran the first Manitoba Marathon in 1979 and has competed in numerous runs including 10Ks, half marathons, full marathons and a half and full Ironman. Peter is currently a NCCP Triathlon Community Coach in Training 

During his running tenure, he has taken several run courses and led numerous run clinics (pre-pandemic) for the Running Room. The run clinics ranged from “Learn to Run” to 18 week “Marathon.” Perhaps the most interesting way he picked up running tips was from the runners themselves. 

Peter believes that it is important to try to avoid injury while training especially while we age. This will help to ensure that we will be running for a long time.
