This week on the Easy Double Podcast, we sit down with Nomio to properly unpack one of the most talked-about performance products in running right now — what it is, how it works, who it’s actually for, and how runners can use it in the real world.

Leading that conversation is Evan Jager — Olympic silver medallist, North American record holder in the steeplechase, and now Athlete Relations Manager at Nomio — bringing a rare perspective that bridges elite performance and practical application.

We cover:
• What Nomio does
• When and why runners might use it
• How it compares to — and can be stacked with — bicarbonate
• Side effects, recovery, sleep, and day-to-day use
• What the current science says and where future research is headed

And, of course, we couldn’t resist touching on Evan’s own career — from Olympic silver in Rio to the decision to step away from professional racing and move into this next chapter of the sport.

A clear, honest conversation designed to help runners make better-informed decisions about performance nutrition — with elite insight along the way.

Thoughts and prayers with everyone in Bondi and anyoneaffected.

We kick things off with the usual housekeeping – ratings,shoutouts, beanie hats officially landing overseas, Ryan attempts to fire us up with a bit of motivation.

From there, we dive deep into Zatopek:10, unpackingSeth O’Donnell’s huge PB and what his performance actually means historically, Jack Rayner’s surprisingly quiet night, Stewy McSweyn’s bold move, and strong showings across the women’s field from Lauren Ryan, Leanne Pompeani and Georgie Grgec.

We also cover:

In news, we get into the Grand Slam Track bankruptcyfiling – what the official statement says, what the numbers actually look like, and what this could mean for the future of the league and professional track as a whole.

Training-wise, Eoin recaps a local cross-country victory, talk return-to-run realities, and why so many athletes end up re-injuring themselves even when they think they’re “doing everything right”.

Finally, this week’s Double Trouble goes straight atthe booming industry of online coaches charging extortionate weekly fees

As always: rate, follow, and stick around – interviews andmore chaos coming soon.
