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 … Continue reading Season 3 : Minisode 10 – Gomer Training Academy →

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, … Continue reading Season 3 : Episode 10, Part 2 – Big, The Sequel →

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 … Continue reading Season 3 : Episode 10, Part 1 – Big →

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 … Continue reading Season 3 : Minisode 9 – The Value of Failure →

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 … Continue reading Season 3 : Episode 9 – Gomers Out of Water →

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 … Continue reading Season 3 : Minisode 8 – Last Suppers →

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 … Continue reading Season 3 : Episode 8 – The Haunted Treadmill →

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.

It’s been a long cold February, but the Gomers are back to warm things up!  Join the guys as they think back on their hiatuses (hiati?), the disciplines they’ve developed and risks they’ve taken.  And did someone order some Gomer Tangents?  Try iPad 2 chat, Oscar thoughts, Spring TV talk, and quite possibly the most … Continue reading Season 3 : Episode 7 – We’re back, baby →

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.  Oh well, while they’re at it, why not a little Oscar chat?  Oh hold on, what did they think of the … Continue reading Season 3 : Minisode 6 – The Training Schedule →

It’s the midpoint of the Gomers’ 3rd season, and they have a big midpointy announcement to make about the upcoming Marathon.  But before that, they take a look at their more…ahem…critical reviews, and decide together how to react and, ultimately, respond to them.  Not to worry, though, it’s not all serious work – the guys … Continue reading Season 3 : Episode 6 – Do it with us →

It’s Gomer2’s turn to report on his race, and he’s a little confused about how he feels about this, his third Half Marathon and PR.  Hear as Gomer1 grills him for the details – the ups, downs, and in-betweens.  Did he meet his goal?  Is he feeling good?  Did any mantras work?  Was there enough … Continue reading Season 3 : Minisode 5 – Be Water →

Long time, no hear!  In Part 2 of Episode 5, Anthony regales us with tales of the Disney World Half Marathon – from starting fireworks to motivational army men to run-ins with running celebrities, this race had it all.  And oh yeah, a pretty sweet PR to start the New Year right. This week’s Monday … Continue reading Season 3 : Episode 5, Part 2 – One Gomer Does Disney →

The New Year is still on the minds of the Gomers, and they spend a significant portion of the first part of Episode 5 discussing it.  Including these questions: Should resolutions be vague or specific?  Should you set the bar unreachably high, or comfortably low?  And what is the name of that one lady who … Continue reading Season 3 : Episode 5, Part 1 – The Year of Discipline and Risk →

2011 really snuck up on the Gomers, and they are both realizing that their half-marathons are closer than they thought.  But that doesn’t mean they won’t take the time to do some Christmas in Review (specifically what they GOT for Christmas), discuss New Years’ Resolutions from the Gomernation, and review G1’s upcoming race.  And, you … Continue reading Season 3 : Minisode 4 – Like, Happy New Year, Dude →
