Episode Details

In Episode 99 of Peak Pursuits, James, Jess and Brodie all sit down with Australia’s newly crowned short trail national champion, Michael Tosin, after his surprise victory at Snowy Mountains 50k. From a rapid progression to a 2:18 marathon to stepping up and winning on the trails, Michael’s story is one of raw talent, smart training, and huge potential. We unpack his unconventional race-day nutrition, training approach, and what’s next with Asia Pacific selection on the line.

The team then discuss the recent resignations of the President and Vice President of AUTRA, Gary Mullins and Geoff Russell, before previewing the fields for this weekend's Donna Double at Warburton Trail Fest  - with a huge $21,000 prize purse on the line! This week’s listener questions are on topic for Warby Trail Fest with questions about poles on the Donna Double course and what to eat before a race.

As usual results from the past weekend are also outlined and there is plenty of banter along the way - we hope you enjoy!
