Season 4.5 : Episode 1 – False Start | Uh oh. Looks like the Gomers have done it again. Â While not a surprise, the guys are disappointed to have to announce that the Red White and Boom! Half Marathon is not going to work for them this year. Â Wanna know why, get some details, and hear what is most likely a little more processing about it that you needed? Â Then this, the first episode in the fourth-and-a-half season, is just what you're looking for! Plus we talk about Modern Marvels: Beans, fat suits on skinny celebs, and the Kansas City Royals. Or something. Thanks for sticking with us, even when things change. Â You'll hear from the Gomers again soon - till then, Happy Running! | 4/26/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Season 5 Preview : Back to Basics | It's here - Season 5 of Two Gomers Run For Their Lives! Â Get ready for some good old fashioned Gomer introductions, Gomer Seasons in Review, Gomer reflections and predictions, and of course, Gomer Tangents. Â It wouldn't be a season opener (or a Gomer episode, for that matter) without them, right? It's gonna be a great season as the guys gear up for the Red White and Boom! Half Marathon in Minneapolis on July 4th. Â And, as they say several times, a perfect time to start as a new listener as the guys get back to the basics in many ways.

Â Flagstaff is the place, Steven's home turf, though only a month before they were together in Tampa. Â The guys relate their stories of runs in both places, and ask themselves if the grass is, in fact, greener. Join the guys as they talk about their months in review, Queen Amidala's vocal prowess, alternate endings to the Back to the Future movies, what's coming for Season 5, and the most miraculous substance ever offered in packet form.

Â Anthony's grandmother passed away last week and he's been in WI for the past couple days, unable to record. But the guys decided that with Challenge 1 of Season 4 fast approaching, it was worth it for Steven to take one (hopefully final) crack at a solo podcast.

Season 4 : Episode 2 – Running With Child | Good news, Gomernation! BOTH Gomers are back for this, the second episode of the fourth season. Â While much of the episode is welcoming Anthony back and catching up on the not-so-insignificant new developments in his life, the guys find enough time (admittedly, not so hard in an hour thirty minute podcast) to update each other on their progess in the Season 4 Challenges, eating habits, Fall TV impressions, and running celebrity sightings. This week's Monday Survey: Â Any suggestions for new impressions for Steven to attempt before the Listener Feedback section? Â AND...Any tips for increasing speed?

Â But Episode 1 of Season 4 still appears, albeit a little differently than normal. Â Obviously, this is going to be a season like no other - and here's the reason: So it's just Steven this time, but he does his best to start the season off with a (relative) bang, catching the Nation up on the two Season 4 Challenges (which you can register for here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG8xaUtka2NPWU9TUkdxTFc5M1VQY2c6MQ)) and what he knows about how Anthony is doing, and even some fall TV chat.

Episode 13 Part II – Did we fail? | Stop! Â If you haven't listened to the latest Special, Two Gomers' Life Lessons, do it before listening to this episode! Â Download here (http://www.twogomers.com/merch.html)! It's the Season 3 finale, and it's a doozy. Â While there are plenty of chances to tangentize (which they do, and we learn the true definition of "amateur" because of it), the guys focus their attention on one topic: What to do with the fact that their goal, publicized in the title of this months-long season, went unmet. Â Other questions inevitably follow: Â Will they ever do this again? Â How does one motivate oneself to keep going? Â Can you learn from failure? Â Was it failure at all? Â Why God? Â And of course: Who am I?! Also, the guys share several final Songs to Run To (and Songs They Ran To), spend some time looking back at this season and seasons past, and start the inevitable conversation of What's Next? From the Gomers to the Gomernation, thank you for joining us this season. Â Have a great summer, stay cool, never change, BFFs forever...and Happy Running! P.S.

Â Thankfully they have the Gomernation's feedback and thoughts to keep this, their final episode before the race, semi-organized. Â It does have a certain feeling of...well...ramdomness, let's say.

Episode 12 – The Dress Rehearsal | 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.

Episode 11 – Seemed like a good idea at the time | For the first time ever, the Gomers are recording an episode MINUTES after running their LSRs - the dreaded 18 miler, to be exact. Â Great idea, huh? Â The Gomers thought so, you'll have to judge the results for yourself. Â 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. Â 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. Â Oh, and did someone say Awkward Current Events Chat? Â There's some of that too. Â Happy Running! | 5/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 10, Part 2 – Big, The Sequel | 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. Â 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. Â Enjoy, and Happy Running! | 4/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 10, Part 1 – Big | It's Anthony's 32nd birthday, but that's not the Big News. Â Steven has been breaking his training run speed goals left and right, but that's not the Big News either. Â And this episode got so long we had to split it into two Big Parts. Â But no, THAT'S not even the Big News. Â 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. Â And they're also pretty sure you'll NEVER GUESS THE BIG NEWS. See you Friday for Part 2.

Minisode 9 – The Value of Failure | The Gomernation is talking, and the Gomers are listening - and discussing. Â 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. Â 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! Â Happy running! | 4/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 9 – Gomers Out of Water | Spring has sprung, and change is in the air - including an unusual amount of semi-educated running talk from the unlikeliest of semi-experts: Â the Gomers. Â 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. Â 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.

Minisode 8 – Last Suppers | The Listener Feedback has POURED in these past couple weeks, and the Gomers are lovin it. Â Join them as they discuss running, with a tangent here and there: Â 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. Â Doesn't that make you feel good about yourselves?

Episode 8 – The Haunted Treadmill | The Gomers' training is really kicking into high gear, and they are here to talk about the ups and downs (pun intended) of speedwork: Â How hard do I swing my arms? Â Did that lady just see me dry-heave? Â Am I allowed to faint? Â 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: Â Week in Review, Gomer Gear/Eat and Run/Gomers' Tips, two new Songs to Run To, and an all-new Monday Survey. Happy Running! | 3/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Minisode 7 – Feedback of the Week | The Minisodes here in the second half of Season Three have a new focus: Â The Gomernation! Â 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: Â Feedback of the Week. Each Minisode they'll choose an email, Facebook post, and twogomers.com comment that stood out to them and discuss. Â 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.

Episode 7 – We’re back, baby | It's been a long cold February, but the Gomers are back to warm things up! Â Join the guys as they think back on their hiatuses (hiati?), the disciplines they've developed and risks they've taken. Â And did someone order some Gomer Tangents? Â Try iPad 2 chat, Oscar thoughts, Spring TV talk, and quite possibly the most timely Listener Feedback celebrity impression ever. In Episode 7, the Gomers get back to the basics: Â Weeks in Review, Gomers Tips, two new Songs To Run To, Listener Feedback, and the Monday Survey. Â Glad to be back, and Happy Running!

Minisode 6 – The Training Schedule | This is as close as the Gomers get to disobeying their wives - a quick Minisode updating the Nation on their new Marathon training schedule even though they're supposed to be observing radio silence. Â Oh well, while they're at it, why not a little Oscar chat? Â Oh hold on, what did they think of the Superbowl (ads)? Â And does Conan's sister really look all that much like Conan? Â As long as they're recording, they might as well discuss that too. Make sure you check out the THREE new training schedules just to the right of the page, and feel free to choose one based on your level of fitness and train with the Gomers.

Episode 6 – Do it with us | It's the midpoint of the Gomers' 3rd season, and they have a big midpointy announcement to make about the upcoming Marathon. Â But before that, they take a look at their more...ahem...critical reviews, and decide together how to react and, ultimately, respond to them. Â Not to worry, though, it's not all serious work - the guys are more than willing to go off on a tangent or two, including some early Oscar chat and the unearthly quality of a certain Food Network star's hair color. Also a real quick Week in Review, a lightning round version of Songs to Run to, and all sorts of goodies along the way. Â Including but not limited to our invitation to you, the Gomernation!

Minisode 4 – Like, Happy New Year, Dude | 2011 really snuck up on the Gomers, and they are both realizing that their half-marathons are closer than they thought.

Â In this we present to you a Gomer Rewind, remembering our dissertations on the correlation of A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and the similarities of the Home Alone Score to the Nutcracker.

Episode 1 – Speed Changes Everything | The Gomers are back for their Third Season, TGRAM: The Sub Five Strive, and they're trying to get used to the changes. Â More training runs, more commitment, more effort, more discomfort - it's a wonder they have time to record podcasts! Â But they do, fair Nation, and it's all for you.

Customer Reviews
Only Podcast I listen to religiously...
I'm not sure why I like this podcast so much because I was looking for running information when I stumbled upon it. It reminds me of Biggest Loser in that its real, honest guys admitting their weakness and doing something about it. It is inspiring. I highly recommend starting from the beginning (Two Gomers Run a Half Marathon),especially if you are new to running. I love the stories (even the gross ones) about what can/did happen while running. I know I'm not alone and its not always so darn easy! Ok, there are a FEW unrelated tangents but it helps you understand the Gomers and what they are about. Its really sweet to see such a wonderful friendship even while competing!
I would give 6 stars if I could...
These guys are hilarious (I get caught in hysterics in waiting rooms and morning traffic, a lot of people probably think I am insane because of Anthony and Steven). I love being able to follow them on their journey from half marathon, to full marathon, to sub-5 marathon (and beyond!) - this podcast is great for all runners! Make sure to catch up on past seasons too!
More than just a podcast
These guys are great. They are funny, genuine, and they work really hard in everything they do. The Gomers have turned me from a couch potato into a person who has run 6 5k's, and is training to run a half marathon next Spring. I've lost 60 pounds while listening to this podcast. These guys are such atypical runners that even people like me can get into it; they are previous band geeks, and Mario Kart used to be their most active part of the day. Now they run marathons, and I absolutely love listening to them.
