Sarah-Jayne Miller: Balancing Family, Teaching, and Racing for Australia at WMTRC 2025

On this episode of Peak Pursuits, we sit down with SJ Miller — mother of three, high school teacher, and one of Australia’s highest-ranked trail runners. From her breakout in 2014 at Buffalo Stampede to her return to the national team in 2025, SJ shares the highs and lows of racing at the pointy end while juggling work, family, and life on the move as a Defence Force family. We talk through her UTA injury and recovery, the community that has carried her through countless relocations, and the mindset that keeps her grounded in both running and motherhood. Tune in to hear the full story.
