Should we talk about this? Of course we should! One of the Gomers got Covid, and it affected his running, so we face the block head-on and talk about ways to find health, even in the midst of it. Plus, we hear stories from listeners and how Covid impacted them as well. Stay safe and healthy out there, Gomernation!

Sometimes on a run you feel like you can’t go one more step. Call it bonking, hitting a wall, or the point at which the body’s glycogen stores are depleted and the body starts to fatigue and burn fat – whatever you call it, it’s a major block! Steven reviews his half marathon in Phoenix a couple weekends ago, and uses it as a chance to dig in and face the bonk head-on, and Anthony kicks in a tip or two as well. You CAN go farther!

Patreon subscribers get a special peek into Steven’s race as he recorded clips live and on-site, and so much more (including our first Perfect Movie of the year: STAR WARS)! Subscribe to the Bonus Disc at www.patreon.com/twogomers

It’s been a while since we’ve taken a deep dive into an individual training run, and Anthony does that today – and it’s a BLAST (of sub-zero wind). We couch tips to face this winter-centric block inside Gomer1’s unique style of long-form story-telling, and it’s a great way to start our regular Runner’s Block eps in the New Year. Great ep!

Next Friday is our off-week on this feed, but make sure you are Patreon subscriber because over on the Bonus Disc is our first ep of Perfect Movie of the year: STAR WARS. www.patreon.com/twogomers

The second half of our annual New Year tradition is here! We each choose one word in January that we want to define our year, and challenge our listeners to do the same. It’s Anthony’s turn, and after reviewing his 2021 word, Simplify, he reveals his 2022 word. Happy New Year!

Our annual New Year tradition is upon us! We each choose one word in January that we want to define our year, and challenge our listeners to do the same. Steven starts the our two-part year-opener by reviewing his word from last year, Create, and dealing with his feelings of failure in the midst of difficult situations. He also reveals his 2022 word, which, in his words, is very “non-evangelical.” Plus a lot of fun stuff along the way. Happy New Year, check in next week for Anthony’s turn!

While the guys take a couple weeks off for Christmas, enjoy this special episode, unlocked from our Patreon feed (patreon.com/twogomers).

Oft discussed over the past 13 years, we finally put Spielberg’s least favorite movie on trial. Does it achieve Perfect status despite, or even because of, its flaws (á la A Charlie Brown Christmas)? Or will Julia Roberts’ pixie cut push Steven over the edge? Anthony and guest Kosmos Ververelli, both unabashed fans, do what they can in the Gomer Court of Law. The rest is up to you. And your happy thought.

Bangarang!

Let’s face it, we all feel behind in some way. But behind whom? Or what? Who sets the standard behind which we find ourselves? And why is it so defeating? The guys tackle what it’s like to do something together – train for and run a long distance race – when you’re in different places and at different levels.

For two guys who can make absolutely ANYTHING an excuse not to run, the holiday season offers a plethora of potential outs. So how can one keep exercising and eating right when everything – and everyone – around them is pulling them the opposite direction? Could this time actually be one where we can get a jump on New Years’ Resolutions? Happy Listening, Happy Running, and Happy Holidays!

Dove Award-winning artist Kristian Stanfill joins the Gomers to talk optimal seltzer flavors and temperatures, having everything stripped away during the pandemic, the balance between mental and physical health, and the “dad-graze” (eating whatever your kids don’t eat at the restaurant and gaining a ton of weight).

This is a fun one that goes deep. For more Kristian, subscribe to our Patreon at patreon.com/twogomers to hear us talk DUNE coming this Tuesday on the Bonus Disc!
