ROTTERDAM MARATHON Race 2022: New PR 🔔

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Writing from 35,000 feet in the sky! THANK YOU for watching this KZbin channel. I realize every day the gift we have to communicate together here on this platform, me through the camera but more importantly together in the comments. As I always say, its a two way street on this channel, WE make the vlog go round. See you on the ground....tomorrow at 5 am.

[@Deadbuck73]

Another BEAUTIFUL VLOG Seth! Yes the beautiful location but also the beauty that goes hand in hand with the love you shared with every interaction in this vlog! Your love for others is on another level right now and it can’t be and shouldn’t be hidden! Love all that you do! See you tomorrow!

[@ethanshea6260]

Have a safe flight!

Seth mate you just stole a jacket you realise?

[@TheWelshRunner]

Fantastic vlog as usual Seth. Congratulations on the PR. An amazing run and I know there is more to come in the future too. I love following the journey so thanks for sharing. That OTQ is coming. I was meant to be racing in Rotterdam but an injury prevented me on this occasion but I am sure I'll get to race with you at an event in future. For now I am working on my aerobic fitness on the bike and spent 2 beautiful hours on the trails this morning in the rain. It's not quite running but it still gave me a huge rush of endorphins and put a huge smile on my face. Have a safe journey back to Denver.

[@jacobvandermeulen1970]

Diasappointing maybe, (your goal was 2:17:30 I was told) but you can learn from your mistakes. Tim Grose made a very nice comparison of 3 youtubers, wanting to run sub 2:20 in Rotterdam. he compared their training sessions before the marathon. Seth was the odd one out, he hardly did any training in marathon pace. A lot of slow running (90% - 10%)

[@tonyschollum6371]

The legend continues! Amazing race... PR, 1st American, 3rd in your age-group, your crazy 5:21 pace, finding that vintage USA jacket! Machine! All that for only your 4th mara! OTQ is just around the corner for next time mate! Proud of you! Loved seeing the DGR community and others supporting you and wanting selfies with you. DGR Strong! Tony S.

[@shannonsides6017]

So excited for you, Seth! You’ve been so positive since NYC and it’s been so fun watching you make it to this point. Cheers!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Thanks for coming along the journey Shannon, thank you!

[@ellemarie9726]

You should of course be proud of all the hard work you put in and the PR, but the thing I think you should be the proudest of is the community you've been able to build over the course of your time on KZbin. It's evident in the post-race footage, and it's truly something special.

[@richardrankin7488]

I think your greatest accomplishment has been in becoming such a great ambassador for running.

[@laurenjodoin32]

Seth you epitomize what the running community is all about. Supporting one another, sharing, making new friends and so much more. Great job on your race and keep sharing the love!

[@alexwhite8409]

Way to go Seth! Just completed my first marathon the same day that you ran the Amsterdam marathon. Ran it in 2:43:33! QOD: Just signed up for a half marathon next month on the 22nd of May! Road race very flat. Hoping for sub 1:16. This will be my fourth half.

[@platclan]

Great race and love your (illegal :D ) drone shots of my City! I ran a 6 minute PB in Rotterdam of 3:36, loved it. QD: Next stop is the Half marathon in Lissabon next month!

[@MrAldiyar]

Well done Seth! Congrats on your PR! QD: My next race is this Sunday, April 17th where I am planning to run the annual Almaty Half Marathon in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Been training since my last HM in November 2021 to set a new PR of (hopefully) 1:45:00!

[@markmclarty1407]

QOD. I will be heading to run Boston next week. This is my first time and I can’t wait. It will be an honor to just be able to get on the starting line. This will be something I will never forget.

You earned it my friend. Way to go. It never gets easier, we only get stronger.

Running the Brooklyn half marathon April 24th, first race ever. Excited to see how it goes! So glad I discovered your channel during my training. Thanks for all your tips, motivation and inspiration! Can’t wait for even more races ahead! Congrats on the PR and amazing race in Rotterdam!

[@annestrock4917]

This vlog really captures how beloved you are! Thanks for sharing your daily life with us all. Loved the footage of Rotterdam. Can only hope to go there someday!

[@JDCEsq1]

My next race is the Flying Pig Half Marathon in Cincinnati on May 1. This will be my first time racing at this distance. I raced in a 10K on Thanksgiving Day, and that was the first time I'd raced since my early twenties. I'm 53. That race ignited something I hadn't felt in a long time. It buttered my bread!

[@andorkish]

You're just an all around down to earth, humble, and nice guy. Taking the time to talk to your supporters and fellow runners after the race is such a kind thing to do. Onwards and upwards!

[@BenIsRunning]

QOD: My next race will be my first marathon in COPENHAGEN! Cant wait, this was all the inspiration i needed.

[@matejcerkvenik.5181]

You got me with Boston title 👍

[@enonek2960]

PR BABY!!!! Seth, ever since NYC you truly have gone onward and upward in every race! I thought Naples was good, but you looked even stronger in this one!!! CONGRATS to you and the family, I'm sure that PR was done with the help from everyone in the DeMoor household!!

[@malcolmcornelius7215]

I'm 55. My last 2 years have been plagued with injury. Watching you every day has helped keep the fire within burning to come back & keep running 🇳🇿👍

[@ericpetersen8645]

Great run Seth! QD: Eugene Marathon May 1. Go get some of that Hayward history and hopefully a PR.

[@katterjim1]

QOD…next Monday, Patriot’s Day in Boston. First Boston Marathon…excited and nervous all at the same time…took 18 years to finally qualify..definitely kept turning the doorknob and finally did with a BQ last April.

[@petermuller6903]

My next key race is the Salzburg Marathon on May 15, I am in week 8 of a 10 week training block. My goal is sub 3 hours. Before that I will interrupt the training block to participate in a postponed 65K ultra trail race on April 23, the Linz 24 Donautrail in Linz/Austria. GREETINGS FROM SALZBURG/AUSTRIA!!!

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Well done Seth, really pleased for you💪 Keep on inspiring

[@louklein7143]

QD - congratulations on a great race ! My next races are the Leathermans Loop - a trail 10k (it’s a bit more gnarly than just a trail 10k) then, at the end of May is the RBC Brooklyn Half. After that, I go into a new marathon training plan to get ready for NYC.

[@JohnBrown-be6re]

It was really nice to see you meeting people after the race , there was genuine fondness and support coming through there...well done on a well run race and PR!

[@LarsJ3]

Great running Seth. Congratulations! Going for that magical sub 3 at Copenhagen Marathon on the 15th of may - so less than 5 weeks out. Just set a new halfmarathon PB in Berlin with 1.24.54 (aiming for that sub 1.25), so i am right on the fine line in reaching that sub 3 mark in may. Lets gooo!

[@333gew]

At last ! I've been over my phone for the notification! I really enjoy your vlogs.. I did a PB this Sunday for 10k in my town, Athens Greece, 42'.. it's not much, a sub 40 would be thrilling.. but we are getting there! Hope you have a nice recovery and will see you tomorrow..

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Congrats George, THANK YOU for being here sir.

[@enmanuelpena1011]

Hey Seth. If the mountain was smooth, you couldn't climb it. Consistency, keeping the motivation to doorknob and you'll break the 2h20 in your next marathon. Thanks for being positive all the time and inspire a lot of runners around the globe.

[@toddpollock9234]

That bridge up to the group was more beautiful than I imagined after you described it in the post-race livestream. You are now a 2:22 marathoner Seth. Wow!. Another building blocks set!

[@runningwithjane]

Big congrats on a new PR. Simply amazing! Watching you take the time to chat with so many people after was my favorite part. Super cool.

[@edgarestrada7578]

Been watching you for a couple months now! Started when I was looking for some shoes to start my training for a mini-marathon this coming May. Your channel came to me when searching for reviews on shoes! Haven’t missed a video since! Your vlogs are always so raw, filled with great facts and honest thoughts! Love seeing your journey with running but also seeing how you impact your role in life as a father and husband! Keep it up! You’re a true inspiration Seth!

[@danieln.4876]

Glass City Half coming up in about two weeks! Started running almost exactly a year ago, set my baseline at the Detroit Free Press half in Oct of 2:09 and now I'm looking to PR at sub 1:50. Love the channel!

@@brennankaplan9338 Ah not good I'm afraid Brennan! Discovered I have an auto-immune disease and it badly affected my training. Also, the Queen went and died so the marathon got cancelled. All in all, it was a thoroughly unsuccessful year of races!

Great VLOG - Love the Uncut with the Cut version! I will be doing the Copenhagen Marathon 15may and has been working for 1,5 year to get that Sub.3 hours. Next two weeks is the hardest with the "King Training Pass" with 33k (incl. 21 in MP)

[@geoffb2900]

I hope to run my first road marathon this fall, somewhere in New England, most likely the Baystate Marathon. Last year I ran PRs in 5K, 10K, and half marathon time trials, but the marathon eluded me due to injuries. At age 64 I'm finding that I need to focus more on strength and pliability, and less on pushing through each workout, to continue to build volume throughout each training cycle. Thanks for all the inspirational vlogs! Time to celebrate your PR!

[@thedenverdino]

Amazing PB. Keep chasing the OTQ. I have a New York ballot place 😍

[@edwardomondi1515]

Rotterdam was my maiden marathon. The goal was to raise money to offer one Ukrainian student a scholarship at our school. We have raised more than 5k but still along way for the 25k needed. Still a great honour running on the same race as you Seth and my 3:35 time also gives me a good foundation to build on. Am hooked to marathons now and your vlog helped alot... So thank you. May be you read this maybe not but I want to wish you good luck in your next run...

[@jacobreesmontgomery]

gotta say, it’s really inspiring how you handle yourself after races Seth. you never seem to get down even if you don’t quite meet your A goal (a PR is great nonetheless!) and you always find a way to be happy with your performances. i like to think i’m getting better at this but sometimes when I have a bad race I get really down about it. you’re helping me realize it’s all about perspective and widening that lens

[@adamstewart6554]

QD: Seth. That was so epic! Rotterdam looks like such a beautiful place to visit. Doesn't matter what walks of life we're from, the commrodery of running brings us together! My next race will be the Eugene Half Marathon on a flat, fast coarse May 1st. With a goal time of 1:30. Looking foward to be back running in person sharing awesome moments like you did.

[@pitbabacardi]

Amazing Seth, well done! QOD: next race is Chicago in October! Just completed Paris last week, with a PR!

[@alexandreaulard851]

Congrats Seth! I don't remember my race prediction for your race but I think i was close! Again thanks for the inspiration! My next race is a half marathon in May in France and i'm really impatient!

[@robertburpee9473]

Great Vlog Seth & congratulations again on the PB, & all that you do. After a stop start 2021 with tendinitis in my left hamstring 2022 will be a base building year ahead of the Great Ocean Road Marathon on the surf coast in Victoria Australia (its actually 45Km not 42.2) in April 2023. Thanks everyone for all the inspiration. DGR STRONG!

Cheers Seth from Finland 🇫🇮! Congrats on your PR. 🔔 My next race will be also my first marathon. It's the Hamburg marathon. I started, at the beginning of the pandemic, with no running background. Fast forward to now: only 2 weeks until raceday. So exciting! Much love from Finland.

[@paysonnichols8941]

I’m working towards my peak race of the spring which is the Sugarloaf 15k up here in the woods of Maine. I have a 10k tune-up race first and just PR’d in my first race of the year which was a hilly 5K. There is still a lot of work to be done but I am feeling really good about my training so far this year. Congrats again Seth on an EPIC run in Rotterdam!

[@CraigRowand]

Fantastic video Seth and a great recap of a great day! It was an honour to run the same streets as you, and a rare privilege to have the Comment of the Day!! This has been a truly great week! QoD My next race is the Chiltern Ridge 50k back in England in just over three weeks. Looking forward to taking in some slower training in the next few weeks.

[@mattventure]

Congrats Seth!! Next Race for me is the ZUT (Zugspitz Ultratrail) in July. Running the 68KM Supertrail with about 3000m of vert. Can't wait to run in the German/ Austrian Alps.

[@DanielSmith-mn5wl]

Awesome work Seth. You set a clear plan after NYC, kept your head up, and followed through with an inspirational and impressive effort for a PR! Watching your process, especially your emphasis on easy days/recovery pace runs, has helped me train smarter and manage injury risk! The work you do on this channel has made a difference for me and I know many others feel the same, keep chasing your goals! QD: Indianapolis Mini Marathon, 13.1 mi road race (with two miles on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indy 500 race).

[@thomashayes9961]

Great job on the PB! Hope this signals the seasonal shift in your Vlogs from more road focused content back to the trails! QD: Next race is the Tillamook Burn 100 on Apr 30 about an hour West of Portland, OR. 100 miles of trails in a beautiful Oregon temperate rainforest.

Hey Seth I'm the one that cheered from the left side of the corall. It was a bit fustrating to be on the other side as I chose Rotterdam because we might meet. Then I cheered again when we crossed near the end and I was happy to see you well (with that impressive lady runner) I myself was able to run 2h58 with 100k of running in 2 months bcse of a bad injury, so very happy nonetheless!

[@wimbrassaert4600]

You nailed it seth 🥇💪. Congratulations with that mind-blowing PR. I ran the same marathon with you with one goal in mind. Going sub-3. I run marathons for 3 years now and first one felt like hell (3h46m). I was dedicated to learn and soak every good advice in like a sponge 🧽. Then i discovered your channel/lifestyle and positive running vibe. Man ,i learned so much 😱, i could finetune myself and finished Rotterdam 2022 with a finish-time of 2h58m09s @ 44 years old. And it felt like kipchoge breaking 2hr 💪. This victory is thanks to you and those heavenly vaporfly's next 2 (alphafly's killed my feets earlier 😂). Keep up the good vibes and enjoy the taste of victory 👌.

This marathon was epic also with new Dutch national records! Love the fact you came all the way from USA (for the second time?) to our small (flat;) country to run the marathon!

[@1man1year150]

Seth, you and the DGR community inspire me so much. A couple of weeks ago, I did my first half marathon. I am only my first year into running so i'm still very new and learning every day, but seeing the posts on the IG community are truly mesmerizing. My goal is to do my first full marathon in a year from now. I'm still on track to do 1 race a month, and have done 17 in my first year. I never thought I would turn that doorknob, but now I do it every, single, day, and would have it no other way. Keep it up my friend, onward and upward... butter that bread, turn that doorknob, and move forward. DGRstrong is an influential saying and I live by it with amazing support from everyone here. QoD: Teal Diva's 5k to fight Ovarian Cancer. Located in Charlotte NC, and it's a mixed terrain race!

My next race is the Oklahoma City Memorial Half Marathon. It won’t be a PR due to a major but you have continued to inspire me. Thank you Seth & DGR!

[@nicktrueman]

Congratulations Seth. I found your journey to race day as inspiring as the race itself, but to then PR is the icing on a very tasty cake 🍰😋 I haven't ran since 3 January and missed my own spring marathon and ultra. I fell and broke my leg while training and although recovery is steady, my physio thinks I'll need at least another six weeks before I even consider running 😟 Please know that stories like yours and specifically the daily content you produce keeps me and hopefully others motivated to continue fighting, whatever challenges we face. I'm desperate to run again and today you reminded me why it matters ❤️
