Simon is back this week, but he didn’t parkrun. Mel did a re-run but can’t blame sunscreen for missing the windmill. Confused? Well, add a late breaking blog post, a Wentworth Common roving report and a hill climbing Intern, and maybe you’re in the ball park.

It's Level Two in Review this week as Mel and Olly recount their morning at Centennial parkrun and all the fun of the City2Surf. Sarah brings us an update from Patawalonga River and Lyndell joins the birthday celebrations at Wishart parkrun. There's a few announcements and bright ideas but still no solution for Olly's post-it predicament.

TOC joins Mel this week on Level 2 with a view to share some of his highlights from his recent European vacay. We’ve got news from a giant orange moustache, clarifications, graphs, age grade 1st finishers, Club Corner and roving reports from Studley and Greenbank parkruns.

This week, Simon sat in the host’s chair and he had a surprise co-host! Discussions covered Zillmere & Newy adventures, APAC event calls, incredible age grade records, and an island off the coast of Ireland. Rachel discusses parkrun clubs, while the mystery surrounding PSH’s time travel is explained.

Mel was discombobulated by staying local and Olly was completely fine with doing the same. Pippa proposed a new name for an old challenge and the Informant is kind of sort of back, in a way. The Birthday Boy does his thing and there’s a welcome return of Mel and Olly sharing some of the highlights from Dazza’s. All the data from the Consolidated Club Report and some fun looking to the next few weeks has us all wondering… exactly how good will Olly look in a Wonder Woman costume?

Mel and Olly are back with a bumper edition of the podcast and they have LOTS to talk about, from parkrun COO’s open letter on number challenges to all the upcoming excuses to party. The Office Lady brings us an interview with world record ultra-runner, Phil Gore, and we hear roving reports from Sarah and Alison. Sarah calls in from Presint 18, Ome Kyuryo, Japan and Baxter parkrun, while Alison shared her catch up with Tom Williams at Lake2Lake Trail in New Zealand. And, of course, we share the CCR and empty the in-tray!

Welcome back, Olly! It’s great to have the band back together. After news from our hosts’ recent adventures – Mel at Kangaroo Island and Olly at Southern Highlands Botanic Gardens – we hear from Sarah at Presint 18, Putrajaya. There's lots of mail, news of Christmas in July, and Rachel demistifies some more clubs. Plus, tune in to hear Olly’s reaction to our costume plans...

Sarah is back for another week and she shares her adventures as an RD. Did she do her homework? Mel recaps her Maroondah Dam adventure and looks forward to a month long festival.

There’s big news in the worlds of men who run fast and men who run for crazy amounts of time and an extra exciting roving report from TOC at Bushy.

We’ve got mail from all over the world, another Dazza’s recap from the Office Lady, as well as the Birthday Boy and CCR news.

Sarah Jefferson joins Mel this week for a pod with a Western flavour. Mel visited Narooma Westlands while Sarah led the troops at Cottesloe. We discuss speed week at Sandgate and the World Record attempt at City2Surf. We hear from PK at Parkindula Reserve parkrun and TOC at Malahide Castle junior parkrun, as well as Rachel about streaking. Mel and Sarah discuss a new V-P index and Sarah laments the co-host curse.

How did the leopard get its spots? What’s better than coffee after juniors? What is the world’s toughest parkrun? Where are you taking me, and why do I need my passport? What do Rod, Gail and Neil have in common? What’s bigger, Mel’s P index or her V index? Why is Kilmore RWT parkrun another parkrun to add to your list? Who let the dogs out? The answer to all these questions, and more, is waiting for you in this episode of the parkrun Adventurers podcast. Spoiler alert – a roving report from Bishan parkrun is just one of those answers!
