Two Gomers Run For Their Lives

Sometimes it feels like a numbers game – there’s a lot we want to change about our lives as we chase health in middle age, but how many things should we be taking on at a the same time? 10? 20? 30? 1000? We seek out what experts are saying…

On the Two Gomers Podcast we talk a lot about how our phones suck up our energy, time, and attention, and how that’s bad for middle age health journey. So why it so hard to just stop looking at it so much? Because nature abhors a vacuum – you have…

We all have full schedules, plenty of commitments, and busy lives. On this episode we’re facing what happens when our schedules are TOO full, we are OVERcommitted, and the pace of our busy lives starts to have negative effects on ourselves and the people we care about. Taking a cue…

Something new on the podcast: Fifth Fridays! When a month has five Fridays, it’s an unlock party! We release an episode from the GomerVault on our Patreon feed, and here on the Main Feed we release a classic Patreon ep from behind the paywall. And is there a more classic…

Note: You can listen to this episode any time, but it is specifically made to listen to while running a 5k! To celebrate our Fifth Annual Two Gomers Memorial Day Weekend “Hey How’s It Going” Virtual 5k and 10k we’re releasing another Race Audio Guide! So suit up, get out…

There was too much gold in them there hills to put this episode anywhere but the main feed. The Gomernation thoughtfully, deeply, and often humorously shared with us advice, counsel and encouragement they would give to themselves in their 20s, and it’s all so good. Enjoy this Listener Feedback-centric episode,…

Steven’s beard is going grey. That happens when you hit middle age. So why is it so hard? And what, if anything, should he do about it? The guys talk a lot about self-image in this one…including the differences between men and women, and wild vs. distinguished. Plus, Songs To…

We step into the Delorean and try not to unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum and destroy the entire universe while giving our younger selves a little but of advice. No sports betting here, we promise! Just heartfelt, gentle words of encouragement toward health that we hope…

For those of us in midlife, we know: our bodies ain’t what they used to be. So why are so many of us so resistant to learning more? Why, when we are hurt or suffering, do we ignore it rather than get help or advice? Is ignorance really bliss? Join…

No, this ep isn’t about whether our body-image is healthy enough to run around naked on the field during a football game. We are talking about consistency streaks – like when you run for a week in a row, or eat a healthy meal every day for a month, or…

Having trouble settling down before bed? That could be bad for your health. And your sleep. And your morning. And your day. Repeat ad infinitum. The guys talk about what it takes to separate from the business of the day and get ready for night in this, the second ep…

In Part II of our 400th episode, we continue digging into our first Core Question, going deeper and getting more personal. Plus, What’s Giving Us Life, the return of Songs To Run To, and of course, a ton plus ton fun stuff along the way. Subscribe to the Bonus Disc,…

We mark our 400th episode by asking our first Core Question. It’s about where we seek validation, why we seek approval, and how doing so in unhealthy ways can be an unwelcome giant in our lives. And it is such a beefy topic (with so much amazing input from the…

We continue our annual tradition of picking ONE WORD that we want to define our upcoming year, and it’s Steven’s turn. But first, a fun way he has been keeping track of when he’s read what books this year, and reading recommendations while he’s at it. Then he reviews last…

We kick off 2024 with our annual tradition: picking ONE WORD that we want to define our upcoming year. It’s Anthony’s turn, but first, one more (musical) Favorite Thing from 2023. Then he remembers (ha) last year’s word and talks about how it went before a deep discussion of hope…

On this blessed day-before-day-before-day-before-Christmas, it’s Gomers’ Favorite Things! Food! Shoes! Apps! Beds! TV! Movies! And Steven’s annual What’s New in Milk? segment. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays from the Gomers! Subscribe to the Bonus Disc, our second podcast, for up to four bonus episodes per month: www.patreon.com/twogomers All things Two Gomers…

What are we chasing, really? The guys go deep about how they want to live the second half of their lives, what they want to be known for, and how do to that in a success-driven world. Fame and glory? We’ll leave that to Indiana Jones. Plus, Turkey Trots in…

**The Turkey Trot starts at the 6 minute, 35 second mark!** It’s our first Turkey Trot Audio Guide, and the guys talk you through a 45 minute race, alternating between running for 3 minutes and walking for 1. And they use the time to its fullest, “clearing their queue” of…

As Thanksgiving approaches, we have home cooking on the mind (and in the stomach), so we’re devoting this episode to the health benefits of eating in. Financial! Nutritional! Familial! Recreational! And so much more-ial. Plus Steven says a swear word. Don’t worry, he’s just quoting one of his new heroes.…

They say size doesn’t matter, but we think it does, especially when you are looking at accomplishing a goal in your life. For us, the smaller the better when it comes to getting started. Each week we talk about a Baby Step we’ve taken toward health, and this week we…
