Every appearance

• Episode 62

  Scott reads back answers to the club's question "your dream parkrun location, where do we need a new parkrun?" Nominations include TOC's surf coast / Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Melissa Ellis' Bonny Doon (over Lake Eildon), the Flinders Ranges, and Ross going international with Central Park in New York and the Tiergarten in Berlin. It rolls straight into the Medibank competition to fly a listener to an existing Australian parkrun of their choice.

• Episode 61

  Mel raises the question posted in the show's Strava group that week, where would you most like to see a parkrun that doesn't have one yet, prompted by Lyndell having to improvise a pop-up in New Plymouth. Scott picks the high country: a snowfields/mountain-top parkrun, naming Dinner Plain, Jindabyne and Thredbo. Mel picks the opposite, the Red Centre, a Northern Territory / Alice Springs parkrun "so that we're sharing the love a bit" beyond Kalgoorlie-Boulder, giving people crossing the middle of the country somewhere to get their parkrun fix. Scott adds northern Western Australia as a gap on the map. Listeners are pointed to the Strava club to answer, and to the recent activity and club leaderboard, with a running gag that Scott hasn't been on the leaderboard because he hasn't run in five days.

• Episode 60

  Short preview of next week's Strava-focused round-up: Scott reports that cracking the top 100 of the parkrun adventurers Strava Club now takes roughly 35-36 km in a week, and 30 km will not get you on the leaderboard at all. Mel notes she has never made the leaderboard.

• Episode 46

  Mel asks "How are we doing on Strava, Scotty?", the club is up to 259 members with "lots and lots" of running, boosted by members doing ultras. Mel wonders whether triathlon-season cycling and swimming activities also show on the club leaderboard; Scott isn't sure and promises to do his homework.

• Episode 42 - Tim Oberg

  Nested inside Social Adventurers. Mel asks "How's the Strava Club doing lately, Scotty?" and Scott reports "a nice even 250 members in the club", plus a special mention for Will Barlow in Canberra and his implausible 19,689 metres of elevation in a week, which the hosts conclude was recorded on a flight.

• Episode 36 - Lucy Bartholomew

  The club is up to 216 members. Brendan Davies has been knocked off the top spot by George Alexandropoulos, who ran 21 times in one week for 335.6km. The leaderboard cut-off has risen to 26.2km.

• Episode 33 - Euan Bowman

  Quick weekly Strava Club check-in: membership continues to grow, Brendan Davies still leads the leaderboard, and Mel Erbacher still has not appeared, which prompts her to discover there is a 17km-per-week minimum to make the leaderboard at all.

• Episode 32 - Lorraine Lawson

  The parkrun adventurers Strava club is on 151 members and Scott notes recruitment has slowed. Brendan Davies tops the weekly leaderboard again with 130.3km, with John Pearson 0.2km behind on 130.1km, Mel notes John is training for the World 24-Hour Championships. Scott teases that a Strava competition will be announced next week and urges listeners to join the club first.

• Episode 27 - Dani McLaren

  Scott reports the podcast's Strava Club is now on 133 members and that they are an active bunch, he ran 25km in the week and only placed 72nd on the top-100 list. He says he'll be watching for the reverse freedom runs on Strava during the week.

• Episode 24 - Rochelle Vaisanen

  Scott checks the podcast's Strava club: ultrarunner Brendan Davies has joined and is expected to top the leaderboard most weeks, having knocked out 120km on holiday at 4:28 average pace. Mel (Strava handle "Rebel Rouser") explains she has fallen out of the top 100 because she has been separated from her watch, lost on her Darwin trip along with her iPod and car keys.

• Episode 22 - Anita Afonso

  Scott and Mel discuss the growth of the parkrun adventurers Strava club, the search-listing problem is fixed ("We're no longer in Missouri"), listeners are pointed to the link on the Facebook page, and the weekly leaderboard is reviewed: Matt Archer topped it with 150km in over 12 hours, Scott placed 43rd, and Mel explains she rarely syncs her watch and goes by the handle "Rebel Rouser". Scott teases further Strava features to come.

• Episode 21 - Longest Run

  Melissa Erbacher and Scott Trickett announce the brand-new parkrun adventurers Strava Club, "there is now the parkrun adventurers Strava Club", noting membership has "grown exponentially in days" and teasing that "exciting stuff is going to happen in this club" that they will not reveal yet.
