Two Gomers Run For Their Lives

It’s Bloktoberfest 2022 and we start with a bang: the “Amateur Running Internet Personalities with a Comedic Bent Who Actually Hope to Inspire Others to Run” crossover event of the century! We welcome Mrs. Space Cadet herself, Erin Azar, to the podcast and talk the proper length of running shorts,…

Unless you’re sipping from the Holy Grail while keeping Indiana Jones at bay with increasingly nonsensical booby traps, we all have to face it: aging. In this ep we welcome friend, teacher, and Gomertron Josh Bates to consider how to have a healthy relationship with the march of time and…

Gomertron and Podcast Archiver Mackenzie Wiebe wrote us an email earlier this year. Subject: “Dudes, stop dieting.” So we invited her on the show to tell us how dieting was messing with her life and blocking her health, how she got out from under toxic diet culture and learned to…

Covid finally got Steven. We talk about it, and encourage you not to make a temporary “I Can’t” into a permanent “I Won’t.” Also, some summer in review and we finally get the attention of the Walt Disney Company! Next stop, getting sued by Paramount! Here’s Steven’s Covid-recovery Sermon, as…

It’s the first in a new periodic series on Overcoming Runner’s Block: Out Of Our Gomfort Zone! We’ll take risks, stretch ourselves, and grow in adversity by doing things we’re not used to. In this installment, Anthony puts his swimsuit back on, jumps in the pool, and races other moms…

You read that right: we have a conversation with America’s Coach Jeff Galloway this week on the podcast! Topics range from pro-walking to winning marathons to exercise psychology to the history of running for fitness in America. And in our closing segment “Jeff Galloway, Block Deflector,” we lob excuses at…

Every once in a while we have an ep that goes DEEP. This is one of those! Anthony had a “flux capacitor-level” epiphany back late last year, and while we were able to share it with our patrons, we decided we needed to discuss it on the main feed. Also,…

Hey, we’ve all been there – you’re doing fine and then urg: your stomach cramps up. Or your side splits. Is it something you ate? Is it your posture? Is it your dang attitude? We focus on that midsection and the seizing that so plagues it in this ep as…

Ever the timely podcasters, here is a spring episode…in the summer! Steven reveals three blocks he faces while running in the spring, and they don’t make an acronym. This episode makes a lot of sense and is just what we need in these troubled times. Happy summering! Check out all…

Recorded pre-Memorial Day Race, this ep chronicles the rise and fall of Anthony’s calf muscle – how it took him out, how he’s feeling about it, and how he’s facing that block head on. What does all this have to do with refrigerators? You’ll find out – happy listening, and…

New name! New look! New lease on life! Same great taste. As we move into the new iteration of the podcast, we talk about how one verb can change everything – from how we think about ourselves, to how we talk about who we are and what we do, to…

Train hard. Overcome blocks. Run the race. But when do you get back out there? What steps do you take to do so in a healthy way? What if you’re injured? What do you eat so your body recovers well? And how can you avoid using your recovery as an…
