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.

The Gomernation is talking, and the Gomers are listening – and discussing.  Join them as they confer about the Nation’s thoughts on podcasts and audiobooks, running in a straight line or in a circle, forward-thinking or being in the now, and dogs.  And even though no one in the nation mentioned Top Chef, it sure seems to come up a lot.

Be sure to join us next week, it’s a doozy!  Happy running!

Spring has sprung, and change is in the air – including an unusual amount of semi-educated running talk from the unlikeliest of semi-experts:  the Gomers.  What’s happened exactly is unclear, but listen as they blame everything from their gadgets to their training program to actual miles put in – whatever it is, it’s kind of weird.  But not as weird as Alan Silvestri’s score in Predator.

And make sure you stick around for a Gomer Gear/Eat and Run/Gomer’s Tip UPDATE, two new Songs to Run To, the Week in Preview, and at long last, Anthony’s last supper revealed.  Happy Running!

The Listener Feedback has POURED in these past couple weeks, and the Gomers are lovin it.  Join them as they discuss running, with a tangent here and there:  sports bras and running skirts, bamboo socks and sticks covered with lube, Eagle Scout near-misses and zombie-killing dogs.

Our excuse is that since this is a Listerner-Feedback-centric show, it’s you, the Gomernation, who sent us on these tangents.  Doesn’t that make you feel good about yourselves?  Happy Running!

The Gomers’ training is really kicking into high gear, and they are here to talk about the ups and downs (pun intended) of speedwork:  How hard do I swing my arms?  Did that lady just see me dry-heave?  Am I allowed to faint?  And, most importantly, is this treadmill possessed?

Plus the guys debut a new weekly section that’s very forward thinking.

And all your favorite sections, too:  Week in Review, Gomer Gear/Eat and Run/Gomers’ Tips, two new Songs to Run To, and an all-new Monday Survey.

Happy Running!

The Minisodes here in the second half of Season Three have a new focus:  The Gomernation!  Monday Survey Results and Listener Feedback are the name of the game, and the Gomers have a new way of discussing the Nation’s thoughts and questions:  Feedback of the Week.

Each Minisode they’ll choose an email, Facebook post, and twogomers.com comment that stood out to them and discuss.  This week, they tackle mistaken identities, extreme races, Chick Fil-A comedy routines, and the identity of the Gomer on a certain game-changing 90s TV show.

See you next week, and Happy Running!
