National Champs Debate, Garmin vs Strava, and 4 Peaks Preview | Episode 81
In this week's episode of Peak Pursuits, James is joined by Brodie and Vlad for a packed conversation on all things trail running. Vlad shares his plans for the Tarawera 100k, Brodie starts looking forward to some end-of-season events, and James speaks openly about a setback on his return journey.
The trio dive deep into the state of Australia's National Trail Championships — what's working, what's not, and how it could evolve — before taking on the great Strava vs. Garmin debate and what it means for athletes and data-driven coaching.
They wrap up with an in-depth preview of the iconic Four Peaks Run in Bright, including start lists stacked with Australia's best mountain runners.
Tune in for candid insights, a few laughs, and a big dose of Aussie trail running talk.
