The Two Gomers Podcast

Download the Special here!

The Gomers’ Sub-Five Strive at the Minneapolis Marathon has come and gone, and well…they strived!  Join the guys as they begin to process the day of the race, what happened when, why and with whom.  It was a roller coaster of a day, and the Gomers attempt to recreate it in a way that’s honest yet hopeful – a week out, that almost seems possible!  Listen also as they remember their meetings with the Gomernation fondly, and sheepishly try to recall the name of the Gomer Flight Attendant, with no success.

This Episode is fully devoted to the Race in Review, and coming next week is the Runner’s Corner with thoughts concerning how they feel after the fact, then SWR2 (Songs We Ran To), and Gomers in Preview…where they begin to attack the “What’s Next” question.  Hope you enjoy, and Happy Running!

The Gomers are in a rare position:  Both in the same room at the same time.  That’s because in less than a day the season culminates in the Sub-Five, 26.2 effort – and the guys have a lot to say about it.  Thankfully they have the Gomernation’s feedback and thoughts to keep this, their final episode before the race, semi-organized.  It does have a certain feeling of…well…ramdomness, let’s say.  Maybe it has to do with the fact that Gomer2 almost killed Gomer1 last night.  That’s not a joke.

Join the Gomers as they share their thoughts, nervousnesses, excitements, and fears less than 20 hours from the big event.  We’ll let you know how it goes, Happy Running!

With the marathon only one week away, the Gomers are feeling reflective.  And nervous.  So it’s the perfect time to release their second special for Season 3 – Two Gomers’ Life Lessons!  Join them as they talk big picture – What have they learned the past three years they wouldn’t have learned if they’d never made the choice to live a different life?  Oh, the intrigue!  Plus, this special is the obvious winner of the coveted Overused Metaphor in a Single Episode Award.

There’s two weeks until the marathon, and the Gomers are preparing – mentally, emotionally, and physically. Join them as they discuss the impending sub-5 goal, and their “dress rehearsals”: The 20 miler. The good news: they went surprisingly well. The bad news: Well, let’s just say it has the potential to be pretty bad indeed.

And, for the last time this season, some of your favorite sections:  Week in Review, True Gomer Confessions, Week in Preview, and 2 new Songs To Run To.  Enjoy, and Happy Running!

The guys are recovering from their 18 milers (just in time to run their 20 milers next week) by recording a Listener-centric Minisode.  Hear as they discuss bagels and nipple guards, running sockless, trusting your training, hot Borgs, and their next fundraising goal:  $2.4 million.

Hope you enjoy, and Happy Running!

For the first time ever, the Gomers are recording an episode MINUTES after running their LSRs – the dreaded 18 miler, to be exact.  Great idea, huh?  The Gomers thought so, you’ll have to judge the results for yourself.  Just a heads up – there’s bonking and second (and third) winds all over the course of this one episode, one Gomer ends up on the floor in pain for a while, and neither guy can remember exactly which episode number this is supposed to be, as if that’s difficult to find out.  Plus, Gomer2 almost breaks down just THINKING about LISTENING to Sleepless in Seattle.

Plus all your favorite sections – Weeks in Review, Eat and Run (no wait, scratch that), Songs To Run To, and Week in Preview.  Oh, and did someone say Awkward Current Events Chat?  There’s some of that too.  Happy Running!

It’s the first Special of Season 3: Two Gomers’ Rules of Thumb! The guys are reaching back into the archives and thinking through their top ten Gomers’ Tips from the past three years.  Then, after much pontification, introspection, and (of course) rabbit trail-chasing, they reveal their ten most valuable running lessons: the Gomers’ Rules of Thumb!  Just in case that’s confusing, in true Gomergeek fashion, the guys have included some recognizable sound-effects to keep things organized.

With a new miniGomer (or Fun-Sized Gomer) on the way, the dudes conduct their very first interview in this, the 10th Minisode of the Sub-Five Strive.  Angie from the Marathon Training Academy Podcast joins Steven and Anthony (and Erin!) to talk all things pregnant and running –  late night cravings, morning sickness, proper pacing, and sympathy weight-gain.

Don’t forget that it’s our first special next week, Two Gomers’ Rules of Thumb!  If you donate for the episode, you can claim a Gomer Number.  Wowzerz!  Happy Running!

Now that you know Anthony’s big news, Part II of Episode 10 brings you some big news from Steven – it has to do with something he doesn’t wear that most people do.  Ok, it’s not as big as Part I, but he gave it a shot.

Part 2 is all about True or Faux, two (or five) new Easter-themed Songs to Run To, and the Week in Preview, with some fun info on what’s coming up on the podcast over the next several weeks.  Enjoy, and Happy Running!

It’s Anthony’s 32nd birthday, but that’s not the Big News.  Steven has been breaking his training run speed goals left and right, but that’s not the Big News either.  And this episode got so long we had to split it into two Big Parts.  But no, THAT’S not even the Big News.  You’ll just have to wait through the (actually, pretty enlightening) Weeks in Review to hear the Big News in the Runner’s Corner.

Enjoy this, the first of a two-part episode the Gomers are pretty sure you’ll enjoy.  And they’re also pretty sure you’ll NEVER GUESS THE BIG NEWS.

See you Friday for Part 2.  Happy Running.
