The Two Gomers Podcast

Starting and starting over may be hard, but at least it has its benefits – the adrenaline rushes, the fun results, the social media posts. But keeping going, mile after mile and day after day and year after year…that can be a real block. Join the guys as they talk about that dreaded barrier: Maintenance.

The blocks are back, and we’re starting this next phase with a bang: how alcohol can prevent a runner from getting out there on the streets or trails. Longtime listener and friend of the podcast Jason Norem joins us – he’s a regular guy, trying to reach his goals and facing this particular block. Hope it’s helpful and encouraging for everyone as we come to grips with our co...

And we’re tackling a big one right out of the gate: how we look, and how that doesn’t seem to match up with what a runner “should” look like. How has that blocked our attempts to hit the pavement (or trails)? What have we done to face and move past our insecurities?...

It’s been a wild ride, nation, thanks for coming along! We appreciate it...
