With Brevity Is The Soul Of Wit Now - not a bee

Dolly or Bev? It's Bev! In fact both are standing in for Nic Nic this week. There's also an additional live audience of one. Danny expands on his thoughts about the media's superlative hooks and the precedent setting. We say farewell to Co-op, talk Joe Wicks at Town Moor parkrun, chat about the junior parkrun survey 2025, say hi to the new Storeys Field parkrun and recap the perfect day at Durlston Country Park parkrun.

We're back and ready to chat! Nicola and Danny reflect on what's happened in parkrunworld during their summer break. There's unexpected first finisher tokens, a loving tribute, general thoughts and oversight. There's Patrons' Things, and the pair let you know what they got up to in their absence.

It's been seven years of your favourite parkrun podcast! There was a frog chorus up at Vogrie parkrun, Conwy parkrun returns to a little controversy, there's photography woes, the sugar people didn't come out to play, Nicola did a THING with her 250th different event at Trentham Gardens parkrun in Stoke-on-Trent and Danny Jones wound the clock back 60-years at Aberdare parkrun in south Wales.

A musical number this week. Sporific speech. Parental milestones. Strange behaviours. 10 Year Health Plans. Things. Nicola celebrated in 250 green at Chevin Forest parkrun north of Leeds and Danny finally made it to Sheringham parkrun in north Norfolk and had a smashing time.

It's a quickie. Cat floof, Two Tunnels, beewolf wasps, little hugs, Bushy's Octogenarian meetup, McFly, HPTT logo memories, Nicola coaches Poppy at Armley parkrun and Danny wants to protect Kingston parkrun.

Small measures, Enyas, parkrun concludes the parkrunner Support Ambassador role, Pinetums, Nic Nic edges closer to her Thing by running the paths at Rushcliffe parkrun in Nottingham and Danny records chaotic good at the new Brickfields Park parkrun in Bath.

Stoic Bev, Bridge experiences, 'the gift of parkrun', our condolences to Frimley Lodge parkrun, the CEO job, hot comments, Nicola had sun and sea at Withernsea Promenade parkrun on the north-east coast and Danny fulfilled a profile promise a few months later than intended at Morden parkrun in south-west London.

Impersonation, cat emojis, Hampster Dances, Newport parkrun's Chris Davies becomes an MBE, Things that change to Not Things, the 7th annual 'Matthew Storey Convention’, Trentham Gardens parkrun gets big, big bridge race FOMO, Nicola forgets how cancellations work and pops to Roberts Park parkrun north of Bradford, whilst Danny was at the hive of activity that is Hove Promenade parkrun in Brighton & Hove.

Gotcha Days, voelunteer sashes, horrific arbitrary milestone shirts plus the wrestling pandas of WWF UK partner with parkrun UK. Nicola keeps up her tourism by visiting Wynyard Woodland parkrun and spots Regal Lenny, whilst Danny was over in The Netherlands in rainy Swamsterdam at Amsterdamse Bos parkrun and then was Whit Me Now over at Beatrixpark parkrun in Almere.

Bridging gaps. Lumps in throats. It's Volunteers Week in the UK. parkrun hits 11-million registrations. A new participant makes parkrun a 'habit'. Nicola overcame FOMO by going to Riverside parkrun in County Durham and then Newark parkrun. Plus a big Thing for Danny as he went to Stockholm, visiting Judarskogen parkrun and then his 500th different event at Haga parkrun. (And a nice mention for Meon Valley Trail parkrun, Wickham just before that).
