Intern Pete's parkrun story: how a texting mix-up with NRL player Beau Ryan put parkrun on air at KIIS and got him noticed by parkrun Australia; growing up on a dairy farm at Simpson near Timboon in Western Victoria (Timboon parkrun uses his old school cross-country "snake track"); his 2016 debut at St Peter's parkrun in Sydney, a two-year gap, then a 13-minute improvement from 35:35 to 22:55 between April and July 2018 with trainer Richard Kerrigan; losing 16kg; parkrun as a mental-health reset that "washes the week away"; his first volunteer stint tail walking at St Peter's in a sling after a spider bite; parkrun tourism at Torrens and Albert Park, a win for his show at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards, and a planned parkrun in Moscow.
