This week, Sam and Katie sit down with the unstoppable Fraser King, who just clocked a blazing 19:51 5K at the Wollongong Running Festival—a huge leap from his earlier 20:47 at Run Wollongong. Aside from running, Fraser is also a standout basketballer and shares how he juggles both sports while staying in peak condition.

Fraser opens up about his journey with Autism, the importance of routine, and how he manages a full-time job alongside an intense training schedule. He’s currently fundraising for Aspect, a cause close to his heart, and recently featured on WIN News to talk about his upcoming 5K event at the Sydney Marathon.
