Do you think the mountain hill running slows you down a bit on the road? Recent World records have been done with negative splits BTW…Something to consider.
You' re so good at producing entertaining and helpful content on a daily basis, I am hooked on your daily updates and followed with excitement your 2:19 attempt. I hope you announce a new attempt to qualify for the Olympic trials, I firmly believe you've got what it takes to be in Atlanta.
We are all reluctant and full of excuses when it comes to doing that which we dislike. Interval training is probably one of those that we try to avoid. Doing intervals with a couple of other runners on a track can make all the difference and can duplicate the fun you describe you had in running in a pack in the marathon.
You’re focusing too much on faults in your training. As a running coach I guarantee if you focus on race strategy you would have gone sub 2.20. Going off too fast you’ll burn more glycogen. Plus you missed the gel and hydration. Always go off to the plan, the race starts in the second half. Hope that helps
Trails and ultras for me – ran London marathon at night backwards – wrecked my hips and legs for days – have to train on tarmac just hate car fumes – keep it up Seth 🤪
My biggest regret in training for my first marathon was not interspersing more time at marathon pace into my long runs. I think my legs got used to running at a slower pace. During my race I was breathing fine, but kept for finding myself drifting back off my target pace whenever I let my mind wander.
Stay away from pavement I think it is really good idea my last injury was because of that I knew it for sure. I know Seth that you are from top league and you know how to deal with this problem so much knowledge I am sure you choose wisely. Good luck.
Glad you made it back home safely Seth. I tuned into the unofficial live coverage of the Amsterdam Marathon, and usually I’ll turn off the live chat but I immediately saw plenty of people cheering you on in the chat box , so I joined in as well 🙂 so fun following your race live and a bit sad to see your pace drop at the end, but great job man!
I'm curious about that big announcement. Maybe investing in a half marathon after Argentina? The 1:06 in Amsterdam marathon's first half makes me wonder if you could go for a 1:02/1:03 in a half marathon. You can win international half marathons with that time.
Even though you would have liked to run on roads more in the training block, I appreciate your caution about running on concrete too often. If it weren’t for you, I would have likely done all of my training on concrete leading into the Detroit marathon this past weekend. I worked some dirt trails into my weekly routes and my legs are thankful and feeling healthy. Thanks Seth!
That's a great self analysis of your training Seth. Renato Canova has his elite marathon guys do a workout that is a hybrid of your 1k and threshold runs. They run 2 or 3k at goal marathon pace minus 10 secs./mile, followed by 1k at gmp plus 10 secs./mile. The advantage to this is that at sub goal pace the body becomes more efficient at clearing lactic acid buildup. You have a great aerobic base, and those 14 ers' have given you the strength to run at those faster paces. The only reason you fell off the pace of the group you were with, was from lactic acid buildup. I also think it's the type of workout that is fairly consistent with Lydiard philosophy. Also doing a workout like that, or some threshold running on a track might be a good way to get some running in on a harder surface, not quite as hard as pavement, keeping the risk of damage to your foot to a minimum, but still be hard enough to get the quads some much needed work on something a little harder than dirt.
Warm up 10 min. then do work intervall. like this. Warm up. 10 min. Work ( 90-95% % of your top speed) for 4 min. Rest jog 2 min. repeat as mutch you like. I try to do 10. ( Polar V fix the time for you in season planning. So no need to watch the clock for time) I like it, bcause in that way I c how I can lower my hart reate and feel strong again and speed it up.. kind of. ( Hard to explain) And its not hard intervall which Im afraid to. Afraid to get injures
You are such an inspiration! Always always with a positive attitude and mind!!!! You did awesome in Amsterdam. And I LOVE your wife, she is such a beautiful lady and she loves you so much! Great couple! Can't wait to hear your big announcement
Good luck in NY! Just run your own race and you'll make it. Negative split is key. You have to run SMART. So I suggest changing from RITHM to SMART in NY
Your wife is just the sweetest. You two are a fantastic couple. QOD: I had the same experience with pavement. I ran my PR marathon (2:52) in 2010 but did almost all my runs on dirt. I think I could have run faster if I had more pavement experience. But like you I've had several stress fractures so it's a tradeoff!
with race horses, which I train, bone remodeling/fracture resistance is of critical importance to prevent injury such as a developing stress fracture. there are certain minimum training sequences in terms of distance/speed and interval between workouts which cause sufficent bone remodeling and avoidance of micro fracture to prevent serious injury. Horses racing on grass have more porous bone lattice work than horses racing on the harder dirt surface. Racing a horse moving from soft to hard surface without appropriate bone prep is asking for trouble.
Hi Seth, a general question: you have mentioned using a massage therapist before. Is this sports massage or something like normal deep tissue massage (or swedish, etc type thing). Cheers. Also my wife and I are really enjoying your inspiring, positive videos. A great a help and always sends us away with our chins up. Thank you for what you do!
I can't handle following training plans, I lose interest. I run on feel, sometimes 5 miles somtimes 13.
Starting following you, it’s great inspiration following you. All the best from Canada 🇨🇦
You are a funny guy. Butter my bread.. lol. Nice video. I like them
Do you think the mountain hill running slows you down a bit on the road?

Congratulations on a great marathon! I love your videos! You inspire me ~ always so positive & happy!
I love that you have date nights with your wife. There would be a lot less divorces if men would do this with there wife.
I bet the announcement is a new sponsor.
Just love you both. 💕
The big box is the team USA kit!!!

Guys he’s running the NYC marathon it says it in the description

The big box is his USA uniform and stuff because his friend got it to him posted it on his Instagram like three days ago

Big announcement CIM! You got this!
You pronounce “Michel Butter” in Dutch as Me-shell Butter 🙂
We will get some filming in NYC. Cool!
Great vid seth….and true love! Watch you're vids every morning when i wake up, here in oz. Keep up the good work👍🏻

Probably, Seth want to run another Marathon before the trials is the big surprise for tomorrow…
You’ve gotta run CIM! I hope that’s the news
Ok sorry but you lost me on big announcement. Now I'm just thinking what is going to be. great video.

lol 😀 I do think it's Michael Butter
Congrats… Have a nice celebration… I celebrated 3 weeks ago after Berlin Marathon
Stay away from pavement I think it is really good idea my last injury was because of that I knew it for sure. I know Seth that you are from top league and you know how to deal with this problem so much knowledge I am sure you choose wisely. Good luck.
Well done in Amsterdam
Excellent vlog today Seth ! I loved the content and the atmosphere…

I got more Bobo bars yesterday 😁, what is your favorite flavor?

Hello True Love 💕. Seth welcome home

It is dutch:) but pronounced as misjel. Like sjampoo
Always positive. Love it.
Good luck in NY! Just run your own race and you'll make it. Negative split is key. You have to run SMART.
So I suggest changing from RITHM to SMART in NY
Hi Seth, a personal question, what's your job, are you professional athlete?
Your wife is just the sweetest. You two are a fantastic couple. QOD: I had the same experience with pavement. I ran my PR marathon (2:52) in 2010 but did almost all my runs on dirt.

How about going sub 1:04 in the half?
Yooohooo!!! An ASICS review! Can't wait! You may not have broken 2:19 Seth but you were rolling man! One hellava marathon debut. Welcome home!
I believe that sub 2:19 can happen Seth! Onward and Upward!!
Hello Seth! What will be your workout to be fit in Argentina?! Best regards from Portugal 😀
Hey Seth, great job at Amsterdam but why not go for another attempt to try and make the Olympic time trials I really think you can do it
