Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mike Rusby - Parkinson's and Kokoda
Q: How did Parkinson's affect your training and on-track experience?
Medications were adjusted and timing became crucial, but with a steady routine and support, it was possible to manage symptoms and finish.
Mike Rusby - Parkinson's and Kokoda
Q: What would you tell someone who asks if they can do Kokoda with a disability?
Do it anyway if you think you can, because preparation matters but life is short, and you learn by attempting hard things.
Kevin treks Kokoda with his adult kids
Q: What were the training and preparation like for a multi-generational trip?
The guests describe a four-to-six-month preparation window, heavy on cardio, strength training, and pack discipline, with emphasis on boot and pack quality and practicing with gear.
From Poor Health to Kokoda - Peta's Kokoda Journey
Q: What are three to four tips you would give someone thinking about Kokoda?
Lock in the decision, commit fully, and then structure a realistic training plan that is consistent rather than attempting to train at an elite athlete level. Build up gradually with hill repeats, long hikes, and strength work, and ensure you have a sensible packing list and gear strategy.
Mili Saul's Kokoda
Q: Did walking Kokoda deepen your connection to PNG?
Yes, it reminded me of the hospitality of our people and strengthened my cultural identity.
