Talked to at their parkrun

• Episode 357

  Spoke to a roving reporter by Lyndell Murray at Kawana.

  Co-founder of Kawana parkrun

  How Kawana was chosen over Moffat Beach because it has no road crossings, and the origin of the 500-metre walk from the meeting point to the start - the first week's course measured five and a half kilometres, so a runner with a measuring wheel re-measured it and the start was moved rather than lose the lighthouse loop. Also the upcoming wedding of two people who met at the event.

Names are as said on air and as the automatic transcription heard them, and may be wrong.

Interviewed as a guest

• Episode 159

  Resident nutritionist (recurring contributor); dietitian, returning from maternity leave

  Winter nutrition and hydration for parkrunners: the hibernation urge, comfort eating versus unchanged nutritional needs when exercise drops off, roughly 1.5 litres of fluid a day in winter, and which warm drinks count toward fluid intake (rooibos, honeybush, herbal and fruit teas) versus caffeinated coffee and tea, which are diuretic.

  Dietitian / nutritionist, the show's resident nutrition contributor

  Post-parkrun drink choices, freshly squeezed vs store-bought juice, milk-based coffees and hot chocolates, and non-dairy milk alternatives, followed by protein: its role for runners and non-runners, why protein powders are nutritionally incomplete compared with real food, portion sizing, and getting enough protein on a vegetarian diet.

  Sports drinks vs water and coconut water, electrolytes and hyponatremia, magnesium for post-run and overnight cramping, and post-run recovery nutrition - her 'three R's' (rehydrate, replenish, repair) plus electrolytes, a homemade Gatorade recipe and quick recovery-snack examples.
