    Episode 100 of Peak Pursuits!Today, James, Jess, Brodie, Simone and Vlad come together for a special milestone episode to reflect on how the podcast started, the moments that have stood out across the first 100 episodes, and what it has meant to help grow and spotlight trail running in Australia. From behind-the-scenes stories and early doubts to favourite interviews, community support and plenty of laughs, it’s a fun look back at the journey so far. The team also dive into a big weekend at Warburton Trail Fest, with Simone sharing the full story behind her emotional return to Donna, why the race carried so much meaning, and the huge life change that is just around the corner. Jess talks training with new coach Kate Avery and what’s changed in her approach, while Brodie recaps his Donna Double experience after somehow forgetting his shoes on race morning. There’s also discussion around different coaching styles, how athletes respond to training in different ways, ASICS Trabuco Max 5 review, results from the weekend, including the Donna Double, and a look ahead to races like Six Foot Track and Razorback.

    Gary Mullins & Geoff Russell | Why They Stepped Down From AUTRA

    AUTRA President Gary Mullins and Vice President Geoff Russell have stepped down — and it’s sparked a lot of questions across the trail community. In this episode, Gary and Geoff share what led to the decision, the internal challenges they faced, and why athlete advocacy, selection, and governance direction became major pressure points. We also look ahead to what the AGM means, what they hope happens next, and what needs to change to keep Australian trail running moving forward. If you care about the future of trail running in Australia, this one’s worth a listen — and if it helps, share it with a mate who’s been following the story.
