Big news from the Goucher camp as he is on his way back.
Says he is a lot stronger and feels like he is pretty darn good shape...
...So much so he signed up for an ElliptiGo race:

My soul hurts.
Let me get this straight. He is only training for three and a half weeks yet will go to the "World Championships"?
It must be hard to flip people off while riding one of these.
Goucher's a never-was, and gimmicky stunts like this are making him look really pathetic. Time to sac up and retire like a man.
relax, kona
He better win.
13:10, dipshit
That "never was" won ncaas, many national titles and made the Olympic team. Everybody on this board wishes they were a never was too.
Agreed. I never thought back when I first read RWTB that it would come to this.

Never was... ?
footlocker champ, ncaa champ, multi national champ, olympic finalist, world cross 6th place in short course...
yeah, that guy didn't do anything special? pure waste of talent he was...
Didn't he run 7:34 for the 3000 in Monaco? How is that time a "never-was?" Adam Goucher had more "was" in his itty-bitty pinky finger than you've ever had "was" in your entire body. Let the man remain active and healthy for himself and his family, even if he isn't running competitively anymore. What a bloody wanker you are, Koneko.

ooooor hes just doing something for fun and to stay in shape and runnersworld just contacted him for an interview because its interesting to see what our former bests get up to after they retire...
Dont think goucher or anyone else thinks of this as a continuation of his career or a comeback...its a hobby he picked up after he retired from a frequently interrupted, but overall great career
you people take life too seriously
Why oh why would there even be such a thing as an elliptigo race?
I heard rumor Webb was going to enter also
Is the main spokesperson, Dean Karnazes, participating?
How long until we see "The ElliptiGO Marathon"?
"I haven’t had any negativity. No one’s calling me names or anything."
Aww isn't that sweet?
people are criticising goucher for racing? STHU, I say to these clowns, and to AGoucher - all the best. Give 'em heck.
Hey toolbags, remind me how many international medals Goucher earned.
*crickets chirping*
Oh by the way, his 5,000 PR is slower than Bekele's world record 10,000 split. Just sayin'.
Dude is a hype machine who never amounted to anything.
