Hej! Hallå! It's a special podcast this week. We hear from you the listener, talk about taking the new Running Challenge for a spin and then provide a triple-whammy of profiles. Nicola was at Amager Strandpark parkrun whilst Danny was at Amager Fælled parkrun on Saturday, then they both crossed to Sweden for Malmö Ribersborg parkrun for their additional parkrun on the National Day of Sweden.

Nomenclature. Defunct. Chiabarta. Teckels. All words that feature in this episode! We give our first impressions on the 'parkrun magazine', talk saturation of challenges, Nicola profiles Jubilee parkrun in Spennymoor and Danny revisits Northampton parkrun after a decade.

Sowing the seeds of parkrun! Name mispronunciations, listener emails, castle puns, Nicola at Marshall Drive parkrun, Brotton and Danny at Edgbaston Reservoir parkrun, Birmingham are just a few elements of this week's pod.

We're buzzing this week and coming out of our shells! We find out when Nicola has been under Danny, we talk about 'parkrun Russia's' imminent 'return', have your things and Danny profiles Edenbrook Country parkrun in Fleet alongside some very unique parkrunners.

Rabbits that run trails and rose coloured kittens, New Zealand's 10th birthday and bugs that are bitten... There's all sorts of things this week, including 'Superlative Bingo' plus Nicola at Brixworth Country parkrun and Danny at Hastings High School parkrun.

ARBITRARY! It's our arbitrary 200th episode! It's got silences, it's got corrections, it's got news about junior parkrun, about parkrun Singapore, about Ellis Cross' parkrun history, it's got puns, it's got Nicola at Ancholme Valley Way parkrun and it's got Danny at Church Mead parkrun (plus he was also at Kennington Park juniors and the parkrun wave at the Westminster Mile).

Downstream our latest pod for all the latest parkrun goodness! The formidable duo bring you contextualised feats, hypothetical parkrun ultra locations, fox puns and profiles from Nicola at Peel parkrun in Manchester and from Danny at Sandwell Valley parkrun in Not-Birmingham.

On Thursday the 21st April, we were kindly afforded the time to speak to recently appointed parkrun CEO Russ Jeffreys online about the forthcoming parkrun magazine. 

Initially proposed as a short chat to be inserted into our weekly podcast, specifically episode 199, it soon transpired it would be better as a stand alone chapter.

 The purpose of this conversation was to give clarification as to the whys and hows that some of the parkrun community had about the announcement.

 So we present to you Episode 198.5...

Normanity resumes as Danny's back! There's a whole host of listeners' things, we hear about Nicola's 100-mile ultra success with a parkrun thrown in for good measure and Danny visited the perfectly diddy Thornbury parkrun near Bristol.

Nicola and Stewart return to the pod with tales of their recent holidays, which Stewart can confirm were anything but Arbor Tree! They discuss the forthcoming parkrun magazine, as well as another volunteering role name change. As ever, there are all your favourites with Elliott’s stats and your arbitrary posts including some puns from a familiar face! Stewart tells us about his voluntourism to Ludlow parkrun whilst it’s a case of 'Grumpy' Nicola this week, as she takes on a sleep deprived parkrun at Woodhouse Moor.
