Final "Secret (& simple) Workout" before Peak Racing

[@KarlMeltzersAidStationTime]

Can we please create a shirt of Seth running up Pikes Peak that says “Just A Slight Rise”.

[@TorreyBenware]

QD: if it seems like a tie between April and May, maybe we could do it the weekend of 4-30-5/2.

[@DaveMillar1]

Headed down to Naples from Orlando this weekend to race!! hope to meet you. and if i have any friends shooting video on raceday i'll send them over. thanks for the videos.

[@joecarpinella3635]

Best of luck in FL, Seth. Hope it goes as well as you have prepared for. Fantastic following you along the journey. Look forward to the next few days of Vlogs. Go get ‘em!

[@davidlawrence3117]

I'll be running Naples with you. I will definitely take a few pics! Have a great race!

[@guillaumesperlich5749]

I wish we could go for lunch or dinner in a restaurant here in Belgium. It seems like the lockdown will never end... Good luck in Naples !

[@gbmpam8]

UK is the same, we are in lockdown

[@jsherzog]

Stoked for the "Butter My Bread" virtual!

[@TheLongHaulCoach]

This is great info and exciting you get to race. Thanks for the sharpening info. It’s the part that makes me most nervous for the few I coach. I’m sharpening a guy for his marathon Sunday and this makes me breath a sigh of relief to continue efforts. No sleepy legs!!

[@rodm49]

You’re really diggin that Hoka One One Mach 4’s 👍🏼 Can’t wait to buy and try those on this year! I’m already running on the Carbon X2’s for my 10-12 miles run every weekend. Saucony Ride 13’s for my daily trainers.

[@dnguyen540]

Good morning!

[@michaelbland1982]

April is a good time for UK runners with weather conditions ‘usually’ ideal. I ran a HM distance for the Virtual event last year and can’t wait to attempt another PR!! Good luck for the weekend Seth! 💪

[@eileenhayward7429]

Good to hear True Love is getting back into her running! April or beginning of May would be a good time, for me at least. Can’t wait!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Absolutely!!

[@joyridaz]

Run fast!

[@bogdanholubas3066]

Don't mind if I give a small advice: do not pour honey,especially if is natural when the water is hot (close to boiling point), reason is that it becomes toxic at certain temperatures. Let the tea cool a bit and add it afterwords

[@dimitarvasilev7957]

I love the "Hey youtube" from True Love. Cracks me up every time!

[@an33nielsen52]

QD: Personally i would prefer late march/early april

[@gbmpam8]

Indeed!

[@steveilg6134]

PLEASE MAY!!!! MAY PLEASE!!! us Nordic racers will have raced every weekend from Jan-late March! we need TIME for our running legs to come around! head bowed, coach steve ilg and dewa

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

looking like late April / early May

[@kingal89]

Probably won't be able to pull it off for this upcoming virtual race, but for the future I think it would be cool to have a paid tier that comes with a medal for the half marathon or higher distances. I'm sure a third party company could handle shipping and logistics.

[@Themata]

QD: April for me My son and I did the run last year & looking forward to another one!

[@gbmpam8]

April for me too :)

[@ThePacpie]

Was the light on the fridge causing the GoPro to go in and out of focus? I’ve noticed it’s been happening a little more lately. Either way, I love the final build to a race vlogs. We are all invested in this half marathon! Crush it dude

[@arabacus]

February, ASAP!

[@gosekinz]

Seth we used to do skips up slightly steeper slopes than you had there 20 Meters elevation - over about 200 Meters

[@user-rl3ef4ju9k]

QD: May, preparing for my 34k trail race at the end of the month.

[@felixyu755]

Hey Seth, appreciate the insight in the lead up to your race this weekend. Good luck and hope you hit 1:04! Just wondering if you were concerned about doing indoor dining with COVID? It obviously depends on a number of factors including but not limited to the situation in Denver, how many ppl were in the restaurant, what the restaurant setup was like, etc. I just ask because you got tested before you went out.

[@johnwayne3491]

There’s always some covid crazy in every comment section lol

[@guzgrant]

@@johnwayne3491 ha ha, historic emperical evidence and hindsight concurs, that was all a conflated fear mongering disproportionate blemished episode on culture. An encouraged fear of people and a planet of willing to commit social suicide to avoid dying.

[@kokocrazy2590]

Morning!

[@andrewmitchell5807]

Waterstop at miles 7 and 11 will be looking out for you seth!

[@steevie76]

New mirrorless cameras now have better face/eye detection to keep you in focus. Upgrade?

[@paysonnichols8941]

I vote April! I hope to have a REAL in person race in May!!

[@ricksticksgaming]

April sounds good for me Hope you're pumped for Naples Seth. Best wishes!!!

[@jeremyhoglo9346]

May, although it will be hot here in Florida!

[@blackwatch_TV]

actually it will be COLD on Sunday by Florida standards @ 51 degrees

[@rollingknight2012]

Someone got a new ride!!

[@bradwigs75]

Seth you should make a new intro for the vlogs for the new year!

[@gokiwi2642]

QOD April sounds good to me 👍🏼

[@lesarbres2625]

April sounds good

[@itamarmazurovsky3139]

Love the video man!!!. Keep it up

[@bryceronk6292]

QD: June would work best for me, and I'm guessing most people that are in school because those in school are in track during all the other months.

[@markuskrinke1886]

QD: April would be nice

[@joshuaking1194]

End of April!

[@agsmith001]

thanks for sharing your training! are you gonna race in those Machs?

[@jjchang9874]

QD: May

[@drumb001]

Gcrunners tapes the races at Naples also so you’ll have some video of your W on Sunday 🏃 Good Luck and have fun

[@drumb001]

And posts on there’re you tube channel

[@BigJohnMcCarthy1]

Good morning everyone

[@mcm4point2o]

hey SJD hope u got the green reflective tape i sent ya via ebay! i cut'm in strips and add to my shoes/clothes for night runs hope it helps u stay safe out there!!

[@MaartenAnna]

Qd: April will suit me better, due to triathlon season from May-Sept here in the NL.

[@jimble01]

Personally, my training blick is finishing in 3-4 weeks’ time (similar to yours Seth), so late April works well. Perhaps we could do a series of videos on training for a 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon leading up to the DGR Virtual Race to give people some structure to their training plans :)

[@davidprabhu6130]

Hey Seth, where did you get that black Under Armour jacket from? I like the reflective accents on it.

[@JustMark117.4]

My vote is for early April as I'm registered for the Pittsburgh 1/2 Marathon on May 2nd.

[@richardpollitt462]

Those Nike tights are smart

[@landyncb8751]

QD: April

[@foxrunner7110]

@Seth: Can you make a video about breathing while running?

[@gbmpam8]

It sounds like there is not live stream for the Naples race then, can anyone update?

[@rogerherndon8384]

After training in Denver winter, how do you think your body will react to Naples heat and humidity?

[@michelleklein3713]

Roger Herndon At least at his speed, he will finish before it gets above 60F there based on current forecasts. Humidity will be a different factor. Ours is similar in Louisiana. I would die in his Colorado weather.

[@MartinH_-_-_1]

QD: April would be ideal. I'm currently on a half marathon plan which is aiming at the beginning of April but the real life race may not happen so it would be cool to have this. If not the March could be good to do a 10k tuneup race. Or May i could recover and hit a fast 5k...

[@sayakamiura524]

QD: May seems good

[@chriscam1214]

QD: April 🤙

[@glenzilly6065]

I have a peak effort I am training for on May 17 (Mount Hood summit attempt) so May will probably be out for me. Late March to early April would be ideal. Early March or June would also work.

[@kristopherboettcher708]

Could you add the mile and two mile distance for those who prefer shorter distances and or high schoolers who maybe lost their track season?

[@joshuaking1194]

Mmmm a restaurant meal....I remember those days 🤣

[@McLeod573]

QD : avril or may should be great ....good weather ....bon appétit to True Love 😁...i m sad i can’t actualy go with my True love in a Restaurant in France due to covid19...😷🤤😭...👏🇨🇵

[@docheavens]

Hey Seth,u r great,what's that app you use to make your running itineraries?

[@DanRuns]

QD: April! As I have a 50 miler in May

[@Pianoman1234321]

end of April would be great since I'm planning to do a pair of track invitation meets (if they happen) in mid-April so that will be my peak racing time (granted I'll only be training for an 800m 😂)

[@seandunlap1743]

April :)

[@chattooga]

Seth. Did you mean anaerobic stimulus (not aerobic) at 9:20?

[@jesaja4556]

QoD: I prefer May for the DGR VR!

[@ivanbarcot3827]

QD: Maybe late April/early May.

[@ashliecourtney8065]

April 🤙

[@joebob9626]

He has like 3 gallons of tea in that mug!

[@GT-kx6hm]

"KZbin is horizontal." 😂

[@davidlidstone9148]

QD: March - I have a KZbin series called 'The Sub 17 Project' and it would be perfect to do a 5km in that month! :)

[@ericwhite80five]

QD: I love to race in early June because the weather is usually great in the northeast.

[@Si_mo_na]

Talking about video quality while blurry af. Sorry, had to have a friendly laugh :) Will be waiting for the vlog!

[@djd7682]

If I’m allowed to be completely self indulgent, mid April please

[@grahamrichardson362]

If you’re shooting with a longer lens, consider its minimum focusing distance. Think you need to be a but further away, the lens struggle to focus. 😜

[@jefferyyates8062]

April

[@txelmore]

The music (first song) reminds me of phone continually sounding and I cannot pick it up.

[@alecarro6344]

QD: April. May would already be too hot down in Houston.

[@ricardovega6430]

Any good running book recommendations out there?? 👀

[@MatthewBell0310]

Adharanand Finn - all of his are great - particularly love ‘the rise of the ultra runners’

[@masonwillis708]

Born to Run is excellent. I also second Matthew’s suggestion. Running with the Mind of Meditation is quite interesting too. Enjoy!

[@AlistairEldred]

QD: March/April please. In May I have a 100k race :)

[@michelleklein3713]

April! Too hot here in the Deep South otherwise..... I love your description of hill “rise” where you don’t want to call something really uphill, but it is so flat here that the amount uphill you are talking is A LOT! I have runs with a elevation “gain” of 3 feet over the course of the run with a variation of maybe six....Don’t know if Naples is similarly flat but thinking it might be close

[@tylerhensley7272]

QD: First Weekend in April!

[@iGlennYT]

Good job you rang ahead, that packed restaurant might not have fit you in otherwise

[@janetduback5161]

late April or may.

[@patrickcavanagh241]

What flavoured tea do you drink Seth?

[@gbmpam8]

Turmeric tea

[@jsherzog]

Seth, Would you consider The Salvation Army World Service?

[@sabriener]

QD: Selfishly, late April works for me that's only because I'm training atm to break my 10k PR for end of April anyway haha

[@jacobreesmontgomery]

That taper workout seems like it would be a bit much for me; i’ll stick to my 10 x 200 on/200 off for now 🤣

[@mitchellatkins9701]

February

[@petermuller6903]

QD: April! GREETINGS FROM SALZBURG/AUSTRIA!!!

[@jemichaellim]

What are those sunglasses he's wearing?

[@BlondeHelen27]

I think he said they are the Smith Max Attack sunglasses. You can get them on Amazon.

[@37wolverinedreams]

What do you think about during a race? Is Sports Psychology part of your style? I would think especially for ultras?

[@tomylee]

6%

[@finnrobert60]

:qod: aprillll

[@mitchellatkins9701]

Do you put honey in your tumeric tea?

[@blckblt85]

QD: March! Or May if not March. I hope it will have its own merch like the first one too. 👟💪🏼

[@katiegilchrist2060]

April

[@jorbo7116]

QD: April

[@matthiasmoder9119]

QD: May
