One thing I do starting in the late fall as I transition from all running to some running and some uphill skiing, is to start doing weighted step-ups with ankle weights. The usage of the hip flexors while wearing ski boots and skiing uphill is different and I've found the weighted step-ups really help prepare for those first few outings. The ankle weights simulate the extra weight of the boot/ski.
Awesome shots of Torreys. I can't imagine running up Torreys with a weighted vest. It is hard enough without one. One thing I do for training is long hikes in the mountains. Hiking is often an overlooked part of training and it will be necessary for long mountain ultras.
I was training for a mountain ultra and had an injury that caused pain when I ran however I was able to walk. My coach at the time got me to power hike with a weighted vest in place of running so that I could build strength and maintain fitness. It worked well and it got me through the injury. I was able to tow the line feeling fit.
Seth i love those takes with the drone they are really neat and i use a 10 pounds vest sometimes to train and put my body to the limit i’m 39 almost 40 and the body needs to train harder to build strength and muscle but it’s like you say no teenager needs to do this.
VEST! qotd: MIDnight running on the trail. anytime after 00:00. training myself to stay focus and aware on dark trails. fyi, I'm only doing this for one specific ultra marathon that starts at midnight.
QOD: Intervall training I do most of the time chancing KOMs. Like this I can push more to the limit. I do this also on my bike when I ride to work. This helped to improve my half marathon time by about 10min and 5k by a bit more then 1min. Then I do tempo runs on race speed as far as I can. This helps me to push into that pain spot and I get a good feeling where I am at for my training and for race day.
First time competitor here. Training for the Silverfalls Trail Half marathon in early Nov. '19. I am running around 15 miles(highest mpw yet) a week right now, hoping to peak at 25 mpw. I'm just now developing a fueling gameplan. I'm trying to make sure that two of my weekly runs are on hilly trails. As someone who is new to running longer distances and is approaching their first long distance event, your videos have been so influential in my planning, training and motivation. Thanks for sharing your experience and life with us, you're a bad ass Seth!
For those just starting out with contemplating a weighted vest. Start by dropping a 5 lb sandbag in your Camelback. Remember, most of these hold 1 liter of water. That is already 2.5 lbs. even if you are doing a quick run where you typically don't carry water, wear the Camelback (no water) with that 5lb sandbag. That at least doubles what you will be carrying during a race anyway - and gets you accustomed to running with weight. That was my strategy starting out. Now I run with a 20lb plate carrier for training - at 50 years old - 6'1" - 195lbs (ultra race weight 188lbs). Peace and good vibes to everyone.
I have several friends that put on weighted vests and get on the stair master to prepare for ultras with lots of elevation gain. I haven’t tried it yet.
QOD:I do heat training on my easy days. On easy runs I wear a lot of extra layers and even incorporate a sweat suit to improve my sweating cooling during my runs. I've been doing this for seven years, because before 2012, I was terrible in the heat. Yesterday, I ran the "hot" Fortitude 10K in Fort Collins, but because of my heat training, I sweated a lot and stayed extremely cool. I actually enjoyed my hot 10K, even though everyone around me was complaining about the heat. I saw a lot of heat related emergencies during and after the race. However, I was oblivious to the heat with seven years of heat training.
Vest! Beautiful vlog Seth! That weighted vest is a no from me dawg, I've worked too hard to lose weight to slap it back on LOL! QD: I do all my training runs fasted.
At 49 I am in the best shape of my life. Still lots of room for improvement, possibly a weighted vest. I like to do push ups, man climbers, and in and outs every mile and every cross walk I have to wait on for some of my runs under 6 miles. It saves me a gym membership. I don’t see a lot of people doing that. I also have been vegan/plant based for last 2.5 yrs and lost 30-40lbs. Now holding at about 155-160. I hope to BQ on December 1st at Spacecoast marathon!
My running is limited to recreational/flat surface but am thinking that #1 wearing weighted vest once or twice a month would have limited to zero effect on leg strength, and might even be dangerous in terms of injury preventions, and #2 would think that if one were working on leg strenght three weight sessions in gym per week would work wonders.
I was 300lbs morbidly overweighted with the Asian gene. I didn’t have the joy of running or Ben walking but I did have the joy/ THE FIRE of being fit , the fire of getting out of Pre- diabetes II as large as The mountain.That moment from 300lbs to 175lbs with 8 packs which I proximately took 9 months to achieve the goals thank to weightlifting and walking with weighted vest.
Comfort level. Five miles with extra weight is not the same as five miles without, so closely monitor your comfort level and be sure to allow your muscles to recover. Don't be afraid to stop a run if you know you got a good workout, but be persistent.
@@laurencesdaddy6392 what I've learnt with my knee issues is that sprints straight off the bat are no good i have to build gradually with a knee support so the impact doesn't cause pain and tenderness
Great fottage Seth! QD: I was doing CrossFit 4-5 times a week along with running everyday last spring as I was preapring for spring half marathon and a summer marathon, I really believe CrossFit helped improve my anaerobic fitness since I wasn't doing if any speed workouts !
QoD: I do kettlebell sport to supplement my running. Long cycle stuff KB work. Lot of snatches, cleans, and presses. Feels as though it adds durability and power for those long days in the mountains. Strong tendons and keeps me balanced.
QOD: out here in Texas it’s hard to get good uphill training because we don’t have long tall hills only short risers less that 200ft tall, SO to get around that on my easy/recovery days I’ll go out and did a hill and HIKE (not run) up and down so that I’m not beating up my legs as much as I would running up and down but am still getting good elevation gain at the end of the day without over-taxing my legs 👍🏼
Living in Orlando, FL I do one run a week with a long sleeve shirt on. Not sure of the physiological benefit but mentally you harden the mind to handle the heat better. It's usually my shortest or slowest day of the week between 5-7 miles at around 8-8'15 pace (normal easy days are 7'30-7'45) but the next day you feel way easier out there. You'll never get used to the heat here physically but you can gain a mental edge over the competition. I've ran the Star Wars Half at Disney the last couple years and they always seed your bib number by time, the top 24 being "elite" status and I've always had 25-28 as a bib number but have finished in the top 10 twice because most of the others running it don't know how to handle the heat.
My girlfriend got me into yoga. It makes my run and everyday life so much easier. I love it now. Helps my weight lifting too. Who wants to be stiff and old?
Bravo Seth! Thank you for stating the obvious, high school athletes are always trying to push their performance development while their bodies are still just trying to develope in a natural progression. It's difficult enough for our bodies at that age to develope in response to natural growth let alone athlete stress. Pushing performance boundaries while the body is still in a natural growth development is only asking for shortened athletic life later as we age and also risking chronic injury as a result. Thanks for putting it out there, cheers!
I'm doing a four-day hike in a couple weeks and I'll be carrying a 60 lb pack. So it's almost kind of the same thing. So I agree there is benefits out there, for a weighted vest. Like Seth said it's not ever one, but I love pain when it comes to running, so I probably would enjoy it. when I was trying to get my traps bigger, I would do mile farmer walks. And after a while I made it to 35lb dumbbell with straps. It was not easy lol. Great volg today Seth.
Hi Seth, I am a huge fan … this video is the only one that worries me a bit, though. Aren't you risking another stress fracture heaving that vest around in the mountains? Would hate for you to miss Amsterdam with an SF. Take care and keep your most excellent videos coming!
It has been my experience that I get stress fractures at high speeds of training, such as interval training or threshold runs, not running at slow pieces in the mountains even with a weighted vest. And I also know that my talent level is good, but not the best to run sub 2:19 in Amsterdam, which means I need to take some calculated risks to make sure I’m ready. Thanks for tuning in and for leaving a comment
Im not a runner, but hiking with a heavy backpack is really good exercise for the legs and back..! Finding the time/patience to go on a several hours long hike is not always easy, so i just ordered a 20kg weighted vest (im around 60kg myself) so i can get at least a reasonable amount of exercise from just a 30 minute walk. 15kg is enough right now, but i like having the option to go heavier once my body gets more used to it 👍
I play ultimate frisbee tow times a week which is a total of about 5 hours. thes sport incorporates a lot of sprinting and jumping wich realy strengthens my legs
QD: When I wrestled in college I would do interval training on a stationary bike while breathing through a snorkel. My campus was near sea level (Michigan State), so I would joke that it’s a poor man’s oxygen deprivation mask.
Man 115. I’m 5’1 and weigh 148. I went from the weight room and finally picked up running about a year and a half ago. I thought I was light. I guess not lol
As an older runner, I am scared to add extra weight. Seems like it would add too much extra stress on my joints, feet, knees, lower back, etc. 20lbs is a lot of extra stress.
Great videography today! Please be careful with the weight vest. An extra 20 pounds means 40-60 extra pounds per foot (2-3 G’s) when landing...and even more than that on the downhills. Could lead to all sorts of foot injuries.
Hi Seth. As a follow up, are you still using the weighted vest. If so, do you think it is helping? One thing I do as an alternative to running is alternating farmer's walks for distance. I usually do up 20% of my body weight for 3 miles. This will get your shoulders and legs stronger.
once more! I could not agree more. I had to get Ice Hockey weight gear because noone was doing it here in Europe. But yes. Great idea to load your body on specific uphill run. by the way. Are you into Stryd power meter? i started hill repeats (short but bloody step). Tought to run these 10 or 20 times in a row but probably very helpful
Seth you should make a video on training with the Keto diet I honestly believe in balance but people are using it for ultra running and are saying it’s effective
Vest! Absolutely beautiful footage & lovely tune at the start Seth. What song is it? It’s not in the video description. QD: Rock climbing definitely helps strengthen my feet.
On a side - I’ve done a lot of running in a weighted vest - 20#. Ran a 10k in it in April. I enjoy it. Added a 30# Rucksack to the arsenal as well. That just blows.
Where can I find that weight vest I’ve been going through so many because the straps can’t take the friction and movement so I find myself always holding my vest together this one seems to hold up pretty well in this video! So I’m not losing hope yet
115 lbs?? No wonder you're so blazing fast lmao. Here I am at 190 trying to crack a 6 min mile! Regarding the QD, I can honestly say I don't do anything unique in my training. Like most runners I'm self-taught, but I do find myself thinking about the mechanics of running and coaching myself toward correcting form issues mid-run.
Quick question, I been running a mile every other day with a 35 lb weight vest and I weigh around 148 lbs without it. Will the weight vest make me faster? I run around a 8min 8s on average with the weight vest on, but without it I was running around a 6 min 30s to 6min 50s on average. Can weight vest running help you run faster?
I feel that if i train weighted too regularly i would risk building muscle bulk. I'd prefer to be leaner by around 15lbs, so the daily challenge for me is to get past the snack cupboard at home.
How has this life style(marathon running, diet) effected your brain function? My energy is always low im always sick, and I have the worst brain fog. Im going to dedicate the next year to finishing a marathon hopefully it helps
At 115lb you are very small, even with the vest on you are lighter than I was in my 20s when I was running at my peak. I was 62kg (137lb) with a skin fold test of 2-3% body fat, so I was always running with "a vest". Now, at 60 I weight 68kg (150lb). My son, at 19 is 6'3" and 75kg (166lb), he probably should no wear one. Body composition is important, especially when running, but also the conditions. Good climb though, we have nothing like that where I live.
I'd rather put water bottles inside a bigger running vest and once I reach the top I'd empty them. I wouldn't run downhill with extra weight on my back.
I’ve got a weighted vest, it’s called my belly! Lol
Andrew Rivera best comment today!

I ran with ankle weights once in high school, it really slowed me down and mashed my legs up for a while afterwards. I do not recommend.
That’s because ankle weights aren’t meant for running. It messes up your equilibrium

Cool, how much does the vest weigh?
Seth how many times a week do you run 32k runs, do you still do the standard work outs of a few tempo runs & a slower pace longer run once a week?
Can I have the link to that vest? I've been looking for weight vest.
Quick question, I been running a mile every other day with a 35 lb weight vest and I weigh around 148 lbs without it. Will the weight vest make me faster? I run around a 8min 8s on average with the weight vest on, but without it I was running around a 6 min 30s to 6min 50s on average. Can weight vest running help you run faster?

Hey Seth absolutely loved the video. I was wondering how tall you are. You look so fit man it's amazing. I need to start eating the salads I guess.
Carter Carlson 5’6” 👍🏻
Do vests not make runner more injury prone
I uss my weighted vest for callesthenics and running and now if i dont have one on me i feel like a feather
I feel that if i train weighted too regularly i would risk building muscle bulk. I'd prefer to be leaner by around 15lbs, so the daily challenge for me is to get past the snack cupboard at home.
Thats bullshit you dont get bulked out of nowhere and probably never thats genetic or you eat like crazy 4/5k cal
115? Man you are lucky!
How has this life style(marathon running, diet) effected your brain function? My energy is always low im always sick, and I have the worst brain fog. Im going to dedicate the next year to finishing a marathon hopefully it helps
Hi I’m 17 years old and I’m joining the military, I wanted to ask it it was okay for me to run with a weighted vest
Those views are awesome!!!
At 115lb you are very small, even with the vest on you are lighter than I was in my 20s when I was running at my peak. I was 62kg (137lb) with a skin fold test of 2-3% body fat, so I was always running with "a vest". Now, at 60 I weight 68kg (150lb). My son, at 19 is 6'3" and 75kg (166lb), he probably should no wear one. Body composition is important, especially when running, but also the conditions. Good climb though, we have nothing like that where I live.
Yo so what weighted vest do you use?
What’s the name of that song Seth?
I'd rather put water bottles inside a bigger running vest and once I reach the top I'd empty them. I wouldn't run downhill with extra weight on my back.
Bro I hike carrying 150+ lbs of weight and I’d be afraid to run in the vest
