Great job Seth! I ran 20 miles this morning. Tried to keep the pace reasonable and mostly easy. 71.8 miles for the week, which includes one speed interval workout midweek. Solid!

So jealous to that beautiful sun there. Here in Berlin we haven't seen the sun in weeks. (and probably until end of February)

Looking forward to seeing how you race, good luck 🤞

Winters in florida don't have high humidity. Especially on the gulf coast thanks to the ocean breeze keeping the temperature down. Its warmer than snowy weather up north, 50-60°f all week. I got home after sunset yesterday and was chilled to the bone. Perfect mid day running weather.

Hi Seth, you often talk about you right elbow. Looking at the shot of you running at the beginning of the video, I don;t think the "issue" if any is coming from the arm - I think it might stem from your back posture , not running as tall as you could, which in turns affect shoulder position being crunched forward and consequently arm balancing... I have no credential or experience in biomechanics nor am I an elite runner. Just providing my 2 cts . Love your vlog!
