This week Danny's a bit poorly and Nicola has the perfect parkrunday at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea parkrun for her arbitrary 600th. Plus all the usual other goodness!

Close the gates! It's selfie frames and our last on Trusteegate this week. Nic Nic was at Bradford parkrun having a 'p' and Danny was getting his wriggle on at Brooklands parkrun.

We talk a walk through three gates: Trusteegate. Milestonegate. Inauguralgate. Plus Nicola went Wilson hunting at Roberts Park parkrun whilst Danny visited Market Bosworth Country Park parkrun.

Happy New Year! The women's record goes again, Jake Wightman wins ParkRace, we talk parkwalker feelings, we dream of seals, plus Nicola and Danny did the same parkrun twice.

In a world where no one knows what day it is, we bring you something that isn't a Christmas repeat! The parkrun women's record goes again, everyone is in the Christmas spirit, Nicola barely makes it and Danny visits Woodgate Valley Country Park parkrun (with a dash of Bushy thrown in for good measure).

'Tis the pod before Christmas, and all through the show, there's lots of great moments, and bleeps on the go. Also, Nicola maybe had a divertion to Erddig parkrun in Wales and Danny bib bibbed.

There's snow down south and no snow up north, metaphorical marble jars, Nicola spends time at Potternewton parkrun with all the staff from parkrun UK and Danny's parkwalking whilst in recovery and high on drugs at Kingston parkrun.

Let's go turbo! There's no coincidence coincidences, the Global parkrun Female Record goes again, Christmas events are coming, we philosophise, Nicola cries and Danny visited Beacon parkrun in Lichfield.

Limps, speed, treason, things, breaths, bloody toes, Danny at Ganger Farm parkrun and postbox nerds. #LightAndTight

Sore throats, bad German accents, 70-week reflections, attacks at parkrun, Nicola continues her petty race at Potternewton and Danny parkwalks at home.

A little meta start, a couple of emails here, some special extra parkrunday news there, a smattering of parkrun merch, a sprinkle of things, an all day party for Nic Nic for Poppy's Cowell and Danny visits the new Leavesden Country parkrun in Herts.

'Sup. Bleeps, crabs, mogwais, silly spellings and arbitrary shouting advice are just some of the topics within. Add to this Superlative Nicola to the rescue at Oakwell Hall parkrun in West Yorkshire and Danny cba'ing to tour and you have yourself a catptivating pod.

Big conjecture. In the paint. Hamster jam. Danny vs a bin lorry. Nicola tells us Y she was at York parkrun and Danny has to make a last-minute diversion to Cannon Hill parkrun.

Leicht und dicht! It's a German Unity Day special on the profiles as well as some fab emails, things and job chat. Nicola stayed local to home at Cross Flatts whilst Danny was fortunate enough to be in Cologne for both Rheinpark and Aachener Weiher parkrun.

Danny's back, feeling light and tight and firing on all cylinders! We have parables, ask if parkrun is a cult, discuss Unity Day worries, look at the parkwalk bibs plus have all your usual favourites. And Nicola is a bit poorly.

Drew is back again this week, joining a croaky post-ultra Nicola for this weeks pod. There's much to discuss following recent events, not in the least, their thoughts on the soon to be released second edition of the parkrun magazine.

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!

Lil profiles Frogmary Green Farm parkrun whilst Mark makes a flying visit to Woodley parkrun. There are some of your arbitraries too, as well as some thought into what makes the scent of "PSH"?

We hear from you about your arbitraries and milestones, and feminine clap loads of new club members too!

Nicola is back from her five marathons in five days…she might mention it, and there's a welcome back for Stewart Harding from "Running is BS". - or should that be "Punning is BS"? Yes, there are puns galore amongst the parkrun chat as they discuss coffee, parkfaff PBs, and more. Nicola tells of her morning at Potternewton parkrun whilst Stewart profiles Brynaman parkrun and there is much head scratching at why so many people went to event 69 at Penistone parkrun.
