It's Training Men

We did it! It's done! Six months, 25 episodes and hundreds of miles later, this podcast and its weary hosts complete their long training season. Tune in to find out if everyone make it across their finish lines in one piece.

Food! Hundred-mile rides! Hot yoga!

Big Data.  Small Data.  Even Build A Wall Data. And maybe this is the episode that Aussie Bites finally signs on as a sponsor.

It's the day we've all been waiting for: the gents have completed their endurance events and are here to talk about their respective successes and failures and... wait, what? We're not done yet? There's more to come?

To hell with radio silence! We're podcasters which means we gotta talk, and with Vance's big event just days -- nay, hours -- away there is so much to talk about. See you at the finish line!

One of the Training Men is ready to toe the line while the other still has his line a few weeks away. In an old podcasting technique called "building suspense," this will be the last episode until all the said events are done and in the history books. So for now, enjoy the discussion about endurance bucket li... I mean, GREAT THINGS TO DO WHILE YOU'RE ALIVE.

It's not just the hours and the miles, but the way in which they're done. Technique means everything from the height of your seat to the bend of your elbow to the depth of your breathing, and all (most) of it makes a difference. All this plus the return of nipple chafing.

It's the home stretch, baby! This ep is all about the lies -- the sweet little lies -- we tell ourselves to keep going those extra miles. (Hint: one of the  tricks involves beer and another involves sugar.)

The heat of summer isn't over but the miles still need to get done as Chicago and Carolina loom ever nearer. Thank the deities for gas station beer caves and porn-writing fathers.

When we're not podcasting, we're mainlining other shows. Fine, we're addicts. Happy now? But before we enroll in Podcasting Anonymous, hear the Hall of Fame shows that get us through our long rides and runs. And maybe there's a story about meeting Cam Newton.

If Vance and Jacob were married, they'd be exchanging crystal gifts. But they're not, so a shortened episode it is! Specifically, a shortened episode that features Porta-Potties, attempted homicide and donuts. And sorry about mentioning that particular presidential candidate's name.

We take a trip down memory lane to the two great joys of childhood: naps and snacks. Plus, a return to the happiest place on earth: a convenience store beer cave.

Like a bag of Chili Lime Chex Mix(tm) on the beaches of Rio, the It's Training Men men bring the heat. Not that we need more of it. Seriously, can we just stop with the heat already?

This week we endure the hell that is a vacation at the beach, wave the fuck-it flag and discuss the pros and cons of walking your ferret along a highly trafficked bicycle path.

A little thing like scorching hot temps can't stop the Endurance Duo, especially when we have a special hotline to call in and complain to. And now you can too! 908-71TRAIN -- call and leave us a message about how crappy your workout is going.

Music has been a huge part of this show ever since we... WAIT! THIS IS EPISODE #10! We made it to double-digits, people! So let's party because we just happened to bring the perfect soundtrack! P.S. Why not call and leave us a message at 908-71TRAIN?

When you're looking for new ways to abuse your body, why not try cross-training? Because nothing takes your mind off the pain in your legs like some pain in your back and arms. Count of disgusting bodily events in this episode: 0.

We gonna make you wet and make you sweat just to see how funky you can get. In this episode, the boys are back and none the worse for wear. So light your sparklers and put on your moisture-wicking athletic gear and let's get to it!

The RHCP stop by to perform live and help us kick off this first-ever mini ep. Thanks, Anthony, Flea and the other guys!

In this episode, the Runner suffers a terrible setback but the Cyclist climbs to new heights. Then we get lost explaining where we like to go. Mentions of nipple chaffing are at an all-time low, probably because of Brexit.

The replacement for the fabled missing episode on our endurance heroes and role models. Half the talking and double the fun!

Your hosts finally finish something, so of course they have to talk about it. Plus: bloody nipple talk.

What's your motivation, nation? This is why we do these crazy things, but why would anyone else? Bonus: this is the episode that we finally go live to the world. 

Food! Drinks! What do we put in our bodies to make them go? Plus: the Pointer Sisters are amazing.

In episode 2, we dig deep on the equipment (or lack thereof) that powers us through our training sessions.

Episode one drops! In their first outing as podcast hosts, Vance and Jacob try to hit the ground running, so to speak. Despite an unfortunate detour into the world of emergency toilets and bloody nipples, it was a huge success. Plus, Vance's crotch hurts. All this and more!
