OK, now I see how the data are structured. I think this should work:

seg1_run_ids = db(db.segment.waypoint.contains(request.args[0]))._select(db.
segment.partof)
seg2_run_ids = db(db.segment.waypoint.contains(request.args[1]))._select(db.
segment.partof)
runs = db(db.run.id.belongs(seg1_run_ids) & db.run.id.belongs(seg2_run_ids
)).select() 

seg1_run_ids and seg2_run_ids are sub-selects that return the run ids of 
segments that match each of the waypoints. The final query includes runs 
whose ids are in both sets of ids from the sub-selects. It will produce SQL 
like:

SELECT run.id, run.description, run.distance, run.duration
FROM run
WHERE run.id IN (SELECT segment.partof FROM segment WHERE segment.waypoint 
LIKE '%[value 1]%')
AND run.id IN (SELECT segment.partof FROM segment WHERE segment.waypoint 
LIKE '%[value 2]%')

This can also be done with a double join with aliases, but that is a little 
more cumbersome to put together using the DAL. I think it would be 
something like this:

join1 = db.segment.with_alias('seg1').on('seg1.partof = run.id')
join2 = db.segment.with_alias('seg2').on('seg2.partof = run.id')
seg1q = 'seg1.waypoint like "%%%s%%"' % request.args(0)
seg2q = 'seg2.waypoint like "%%%s%%"' % request.args(1)
runs = db((db.run.id > 0) & seg1q & seg2q).select(join=[join1, join2])

The above will produce SQL like:

SELECT run.id, run.description, run.distance, run.duration
FROM run
JOIN segment AS seg1 ON seg1.partof = run.id
JOIN segment AS seg2 ON seg2.partof = run.id
WHERE run.id > 0
AND seg1.waypoint like "%[value 1]%"
AND seg2.waypoint like "%[value 2]%"
