5. The joys (and perils) of multi-disciplinary adventures at home and away, with Milly Young

From the plains of WA comes Milly Young, an adventure-seeking, mountain-climbing, ultra-running woman of unstoppable resilience and infectious love of wild places.  

We first caught up with Milly to recap her FKT on southwest Tasmania's Port Davey / South Coast Track, where not even a broken toe could stop her from swimming across rivers, smashing gels and ultimately, making it to the finish line. We checked back with Milly from her new hometown of Chamonix, France, where skiing, climbing and running in the mountains keeps her fit, happy and occasionally, injured. 

You can find out more about Milly on Instagram, read more about her 2024 PTL journey via Tracks & Trails, or listen to her podcast, Breaking Trail.
