Trail Running in the Olympics, Singletrack Events Takeover, and 4 Peaks Recap | Episode 82
In Episode 82, James, Brodie, and Jess cover a massive week in Australian trail running. Jess shares her Kosci 50km training update (plus some broccoli-sprout science), Brodie dives into weighted uphill training and his return from injury, and James reflects on progress in his own recovery.
The crew unpack the latest news shaking up the sport — from Salomon backing the Olympic bid to Singletrack taking over Running Wild events — and what it all means for the future of trail running in Australia.
They also recap all the action from Four Peaks, including standout performances from Lucy Bartholomew, Demi Caldwell, Ian Best, and Kate Avery.
Tune in for the biggest stories, insightful takes, and plenty of good banter from the trail.
