Nutrition Q&A with Kelly Hodges
Returning nutrition expert / dietitian Kelly Hodges answers Scott's and Mel's questions on sports drinks vs water, electrolytes and hyponatremia, magnesium for post-run cramping, and post-run recovery via her "three R's" - rehydrate, replenish, repair (plus electrolytes) - including a homemade Gatorade recipe and example recovery snacks.
Channel 5 News Crew
Lyndell Murray's roving report from White Rock parkrun (Ipswich, SE Queensland) on its first anniversary - a trail course. She interviews costumed runners marking Huy Nguyen's 100th parkrun (a music-theme dress-up: two Angus Youngs and a Bob Marley), the "Spice Girls" from Springfield Runners Group, local Jenny, award winners Caroline and Ella, volunteer Anita (who ran the whole course including "Roxy's Rise" for the first time), and Event Director Lee on founding the event, Ipswich City Council support and the low "stack count". Signs off with a shout-out to listener Emily.
Launches and anniversaries ("Where is the cake?")
Cardwell parkrun launching in North Queensland; anniversaries at Albury-Wodonga (NSW/Vic), Bairnsdale (Vic), Dawesville (WA) and Parramatta (NSW); nothing in Queensland. Rolls on into milestone previews: the world's oldest person to reach the 250 club running his 250th at Kawana this Saturday (aged 84, to be streamed on Facebook Live by Mel), Yarrabilba parkrun's 200th event with a Hawaiian theme and rookie run director Jason Curry, and Scott's own unofficial 200th parkrun.
Word of the week
Explicitly skipped this week - Mel at [01:02:21] "Yeah, no word of the week. I seem to have remembered everything I meant to say... there is no official word for the week this week." Logged because the segment is referenced by name as a standing fixture, not because one was delivered.
