50 Weeks of No Parkrun & HealthUnlocked on Free, Weekly, Timed!

Extra exciting running day today!! πŸ˜ƒ

After my (not)parkrun this lunchtime I did my usual routine of switching on this week's 'Free, Weekly, Timed' parkrun podcast as I had my shower. By the time I'd got downstairs to make lunch, Katnap and I heard my HealthUnlocked name mentioned - Vassos was reading my email out!

I'd promised RunaroundSue I'd send in a message about our 27th February 50th Week of No Parkruns event, but you never know if it's going to get a mention, or when. So I was very excited to hear Vassos talking about this brilliant forum and the event we have planned!

So if you want to hear it, the podcast can be found here: freeweeklytimed.com/ as well as on Spotify and other podcast players. The email is just after the Jenni Falconer interview, so about half way.

If you haven't heard it before, I can highly recommend the 'Free, Weekly, Timed', a new podcast comes out each Thursday/Friday and really helps keep you in touch with all things parkrun.

Happy running everyone and especially look forward to running 'with' you on the 27th!

Well done. I wasn't sure whether they would want to publicise this plan, in case it caused any mega turnouts and bad publicity.

So it's good that they did

Yes, I wondered to. I think everything has to be worded with appropriate caveats at the moment. Very chuffed it went out as I only sent it on Tuesday πŸ˜€

I think they understand the sentiment and that it relates to not parkrun, celebrating parkrun. A virtual VRB get together before real parkrun can restart 😁

Woohoo! πŸŽ‰ We have a celebrity in our midst! Well done TC, bet it was great hearing your Vassos mention! You and Katnap are the ultimate PR advocates, so it was definitely right that you had your email read out. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ I’ll have a listen a bit later. πŸ₯°

I’m not the first cheeky, Damien had a shout out a few months back, he kept very quiet about it! It was fab to hear it. I didn’t think it would go out this week so that was an extra surprise. Hope you like it 😍

Well done TailChaser. I am subscribed to the podcasts but always forget to listen to them. I will check this one out though.

Thanks Dexy. I never miss this one. I subscribe to quite a few but this one is as much part of our weekend as parkrun itself 😍

I’ve heard it now. An excellent email which showed how parkrun can link with the c25k and HU forums.

It was a lovely email so I'm not surprised it got read out. I hope the HU admin team get to hear it! Oldfloss ju-ju- , roseabi , linda9389 Decker , IannodaTruffe , and anyone else who knows us πŸ˜ƒ

Oh wow 🀩🀩🀩 I just listened to it and subscribed! Nice letter! So well done! Yes, our VRB crowd has become even more important during the pandemic πŸ’šπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ™πŸ‘

Thank you 😍 The forum has been a sanity saver CBDB. I don’t have as much time to dabble as I used to but just knowing it’s here is *the* best thing. It’s like having a pre- and post-race briefings on tap whenever you need it. And having the podcast each week as it always has been helps keep that Saturday routine at least partly there which is one of the reasons I started parkrun in the first place.

I’ve never run a parkrun, but I’m ready! And will start listening to this podcast, so big thank you! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸ½πŸ™πŸ˜

I bet you are! I hope you fall in love with them like many of us have. It’s such a brilliant thing. I’m trying not to get my hopes up as there have been two false starts but keep everything crossed it will be back in the next few months. You’ll definitely hear when on the podcast πŸ˜€πŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€ž

That’s fantastic TC. Well done. I adore that podcast but have not listened to it in months. I’ll catch up on the latest podcast now.

Thank you πŸ™ It is a fab podcast Damien, it’s so good to have it still going each week and to be able to listen to it after our virtual runs as I would normally.
