Noble One! head bowed to your willingness and tactical searching to answer your current blowing up! choosing Saturday as a QandA Day is brilliant! QOTD: from Dewa (12); I am a snowshoe racer training for Nationals in Leadville this year...what do you feel is the best winter running shoe? thank you, Dewa (daughter of steve ilg)....
I liked that answer to Tyler.. i also signed up for my first marathon in October 2020 (Amsterdam), but like Seth answered, i also signed up for a half marathon in April (Vienna). This way, i can train and focus on Vienna right now, which then sound ensure a good base for Amsterdam.
QD: How do you feel about people under 18 running marathons or possibly even longer distances? I sometimes see age requirements for marathon sign ups be 18+, and I’m curious what your take on this is.
Awesome video!! QOD: what are some of the best ways to keep your feet dry( shoes, socks, covers, etc.) during rainy or snowy runs? Really appreciate all you and true love do for this channel!! Thank you 🙏💕💕
hi my previous running shoes were, brooks gts17, karrimor rapid support, nike zoom structure 21, brooks gts 19, and then now brooks gts 20, i had a notification from strava saying 'time for some new shoes' lol i might wear these ones a little longer, i was always told to go for more support for pronation 🏃♂️
Another great vlog Seth! Very interested in that question about pronation and stability shoes. I have a flat arch but wear neutral shoes. I've done a lot to strengthen my feet in the last couple years, but may also try that stability disc which you use. If you seen my feet one would think i should wear a stability shoe but I'm a mid foot striker, pretty lightweight (~130lbs), have had some decent results in the marathon (2 sub 3 hour marathons) and anytime I try a stability trainer it just feels heavy and clunky. Just wanted to share my own story on the stability shoe discussion.
Maybe True Love could do a video about being a partner of a runner! Sometimes we don’t think much how our passion affect others and how much they need to put up with us! All the travel, the hours training, the spending, the frustrations and the list goes on 😁
10:45 - Is there anything specifically wrong with vertical oscillation? Listening to videos and podcasts by Shane Benzine (prolific biomechanics and form coach) he warns against slamming oscillation too much. Look at Walmsley's stride - he flies! Albeit, it isn't great in excess, it is not a bad thing in and of itself. If you have too much, higher cadence might work?
QD: I'm not a big fan of tea, but instead prefer 2-4 cups of black coffee as my morning ritual before my morning runs. Does drinking coffee help/hurt/no effect to one's running?
Seth I know your very experienced mountain runner. I am going to be running Leadville 100 2020 first time. What’s your advice for training for the climbs (and descents)? Thanks Great QA vid
Hello Seth, First of all thank you for the videos and all the best on your training for the next 5 - 6 weeks for Huston. My question (whenever your doing another Q & A ) is about hitting Sauna between marathons for recovery, is it the dry sauna or steam sauna you hit? What is the difference and which one you think you would be ideal.
Hi regarding your big toe injury, how many weeks were you in the boot? I have big toe pain that I've been running through (I think due to running in Fivefingers shoes).
Seth, I am tracking my runs with my Garmin Watch and my Garmin running pod. I also try to analyse my runs afterwards. What is your opinion comparing stride lenght versus cadence and how do you get quicker? More stride lenght, more cadence or more of both? Greetings from Vienna.
QD: Hi Seth, I’m currently wearing Nike Pegasus 35’s and looking for a long distance shoe that I can also wear for a marathon. I’ve got a pair of Turbo 1’s coming tomorrow but I watched a video of yours where you suggested the Vomero might be better for heavier runners? I’m 5’9”, around 190lbs, easy pace around 11 min miles, marathon pace expected to be around 9:30 min miles if not a touch less. Would you say it’s worth ordering Vomero’s as a better fit than the Turbo’s?
Getting ready to run a half marathon on Saturday and it looks like it will be raining the whole time. Any tips for a long rain run? Water repellent on shoes? Clothing?
I noticed that you replied to a question about preparing for a marathon in Fall/Autumn 2020 by saying they should incorporate a half marathon in the build up (not the spring one, I mean nearer to the goal race). Are you planning on doing this before Houston and if not why not?
Is there any reason to clean my shoes if I don't care how they look or if they feel heavier? Like does the mud break the shoe down quicker or anything?
QD: What shoes, distances & exercises would you recommend for overweight & obese runners? There are a lot of content for good and fast runners but very little for heavier runners. I've been on the heavier side all my life. I've loved running for many years. I've completed 3 Half Marathons & a few 10k races. But off late, my legs have been hurting more that usual, I've suffered ankle injuries and my speed has dropped drastically. Please do give me a few pointers for suitable shoes, distance & exercises. Thanks !!
You can make your own if you watch this 55 minute video called “coach Pollard training distance“ I got convinced and opened my mind about running. He talks about some theories and studies then he shows you how to apply them. The common online excel sheet plans I found online is reflecting so much from his statements. It's worth watch. Let me know what you think because soon I will be making my own program.
Do you have any experience of the FIRST training method, 3d/wk running maximum, to ensure well rested legs before each session? Your mileage can never get that high as a result, but you can have quality sessions each run?
Hello Seth, What push you for run maraton from long dystanse runing? Maybe you told this on some vlog but I dont have possibility to watch all of them and I watching you chanel from abouth 1,5 month.
2 runs a day? Hi Seth, in my younger days I had no problem with running in the morning and then again in the evening. I know a lot of elite marathon runners do this. Is this something you have ever incorporated into your training or thought about doing. Keep up the great work on the Vlogs. Mark
QD: Do you perform Strides @ a different pace when training for a marathon as opposed to a 10k? .... the other day I read that when building up to a marathon race, some runners perform strides at 5k pace instead of the usual 80-90% full speed ..... what are your thoughts on this ? .... anybody else have any input?
Can't see the point in strides at 5k pace tbh. The point of them is to improve running turnover, stride, form and therefore speed, as well as power. All things you want to develop. It's about the only thing you're going to do which is at that intensity. You might well be running 5k pace or thereabouts doing intervals or reps anyway.
QD: Seth, do you think running with pronation in a Hoka Carbon X is a good idea? I don't have completely flat feet, but I do pronate a little bit. I usually do use shoes with stability just in case. The Arahi 3 from Hoka is pretty much my go to shoe. Also: Thank you for the tips on balance. I'll work on that so I can improve my ankle and lower leg strength. 👍🏼
Pronation is actually a required foot function in normal gait. It is a natural shock absorber. Don't stress about getting rid of it unless you are having pain or injury. The Hoka Carbon X is an inherently stable neutral shoe. Its should work well for most "pronators".
@@fossenator Thanks sooo much. I really appreciate it. I don't really feel pain or swelling or any kind of injury when I run. I'll probably buy the Hoka Carbon X by the end of this month. 👍🏼 Thank you for the explanation once again.
If zero drop works for you you should take a look at the Altra. If it is just rolling hills, but not rocky or muddy, you my want to take a look at the Torin 4.0 plush. Plenty of great cushioning and enough rubber tread to easily handle the terrain. Then again, if the trail is a bit MORE, take give the lone peak a shot.
I had IT band tendinitis in both my knees my sophomore year of high school and I was instructed to use a small resistance band to increase hip and glute strength. It helped a lot and I haven’t had IT band problems ever since I started doing resistance bands exercises like clams, banded knee drives, bridges, and monster walks consistently. Also, doing lateral box jumps would help a lot too. I’m sorry if this isn’t super helpful I only know from some experience.
Need help: I always get a hot spot which leads to blisters below the pad of big toe. I’ve tried many diff shoes, socks, tapes but still getting hotspots and blisters. does anyone have any suggestion or tips.
I would add that there are other anti-chafe options like Squirrels Nut Butter and Bodyglide. Vaseline tends to have an adverse effect on your clothes in my experience. Another tip is to make sure that your socks fit your feet quite tightly. Any excess material can lead to ‘bunching’, which can easily cause hotspots and blisters. Good luck.

If there is a shoe you like, take a look on line and see if you can find last year’s model. They should be offered at a substantial mark down. This way you can get a great shoe at a significant mark down.
Agreed with Tom - I would recommend the Nike Pegasus for a solid neutral running shoe. If you go to a Nike outlet store, you can get the Peg 34s (3 year old model I believe) for like $30-$50. Just look up local outlet malls or outlet/clearance stores. It’s important to get good shoes that you know are reliable rather than prioritize inexpensiveness, because otherwise injury is bound to happen.
rory hayes, Torin 4.0 Plush. I have run a marathon as well as a very hilly 50k in them. If zero drop works for you, this is the shoe. Grea blend of cushion and reasonable weight.
I am using the Hoka Rincon now for both speedwork and long runs and even ran a half marathon race in them. Very pleased with the versatility. For short distance racing, I would probably want something with a bit more responsiveness. I alternate with Torin 4.0, which is also a good all around shoe (zero drop, so that has to work for you).
What a GREAT IDEA!
QD: How did you met true love? 😄

Hi Seth! For next week; How could I prepare a Pikes Peak Marathon 2020 if I live in “Flat Florida”? Thanks. Best Regards
Let’s be thankful and share SJD so he gets to 50K subscribers by Thanksgiving! Let’s go Seth!
Idea for the Q&As - True Love should interview you with the questions... Love you guys and love the show.
For Michael's question, I would try increasing cadence (and perhaps shorten stride) a tad. That should, in theory, reduce the vertical oscillation.
Seth I know your very experienced mountain runner. I am going to be running Leadville 100 2020 first time. What’s your advice for training for the climbs (and descents)? Thanks

Do you guys make your own training plans for races or do you search online? If you search online, which website do you guys use?

Hey Seth is a 5:14 mile good for an 8th grader
True love take over!!!
Do you prefer the asics glideride or the clifton 6
I don’t think he has the Clifton 6. And I haven’t run in either, so I’m no help!
@@Jameswmin boo. He should try em. I either wanna get glideride or Clifton for my next shoe
Do you have any experience of the FIRST training method, 3d/wk running maximum, to ensure well rested legs before each session? Your mileage can never get that high as a result, but you can have quality sessions each run?

QD: What are your brothers plan for racing in 2020? Will you ever run a road marathon together / pace each other on an ultra?
Best shoe in gym or running for flat feet with ovaerprenation 😇😇😇????🙏
Re the question from Michael on too much bounce in his stride: there’s a useful video on this topic published recently on the Sage Running channel.
Seth do you plan on shooting for a road 5k or 10k PR in 2020? Run on
Big 200+ lb muscular flat footed barely BQ over pronating runners can only strengthen so much though, right?
what is your pace with the GlideRides?
