I recently changed my greeting when passing another runner going the opposite direction from me from "Hi" or "Good Morning" to "Seek Beauty". During my long run on Sunday, the reply I got back was "Work Hard" to which I then replied "And Love Each Other". Made my day! Seth you are making a difference!
@@AverageRunningPT It really does. I'm in the point in my training where every long run is a distance PR. Really rewarding when you feel exhausted running those distances.
QD: This past weekend I ran 4:33 for the mile and that was a 7 second PR. Then the next day I crushed a 12 mile long run at 7:15 per mile. Feeling really good and fit!
QD: had a good 18 mile long run, but the highlight from the weekend was being in ATL for the trials. So inspiring. Also really cool to see some of my footage in the vlogs!
QD: I actually ran the Publix Atlanta Marathon on Sunday, and it was my very first marathon. I ended up finishing in 3:26:25, which completely blew me away and was better than anything I imagined! I've been consistently running for 1 year and 2 months, and your videos, along with following specific training plans, have helped me immensely in my running journey. I can't wait to run more marathons now haha!
QD: I ran a Half Marathon last weekend, with my new PR (1.42.11 for 21km). I have been following your vlog for almost 6 months. Your video motivated me to run more and train harder. All your videos are very very useful for me. I built my aerobic engine, training for polymetrics, and tempo runs by following your training blocks and 6 of your videos "How to run faster". Thank you Seth for all your valuable videos that worth my time!!!
QD: Washington Heights 5k Race Ran 21:17(NYRR had me at 21:18) Finished 3rd 65 to 69 age group. 6:52 per mile. 633 of 4,937 runners, Time Age‑Graded 16:36. Taconic 60-69 1st in team scoring. This is the first time my watch match exactly to the course mile markers.
QD: Ran a marathon under 4 hours for the first time. Finished at 3:49. Which was a PB of 18 minutes. Felt amazing. Building the aerobic base first, then hitting the tempo and intervals after really helped. Thank you for the advice Seth.
QD: I had the best long run I have ever had since I’ve started running (8 months). I ran 20 miles and felt strong all the way through. I did not fade towards the end and I’m very pleased with my nutrition and hydration. I can’t wait for my race in April! Thanks Seth for the amazing videos. I watch everyday. Maybe one day you’ll come check out the memorial marathon in okc!
QD: I had ran only about 4 times since December. Hard to stay motivated when it is so cold. However, I signed up for and did a half marathon in Richland, WA last Saturday to kickstart me back into my running routine. Weather has improved lately and was high 40s/low 50s with 25-30 mph wind gusts. I finished 2:02:49 which is better than I thought I was going to do given the lack of training. Did a 5 mile recovery run yesterday. My next race is a half marathon on March 28th. Then, I have a full scheduled April 11.
QD: I actually skipped my long run this past weekend in favor of rest. I have a marathon this coming Sunday and I’m making a conscious effort to dial back my efforts during the taper, especially with some plantar fasciitis that has developed in my right foot. The decision not to run because of how I’m feeling is so difficult for me but it is often the right one.
QD: Ran my 2nd marathon, the Treasure Coast Marathon in FL. After a rough start/course misdirection by the organizers, started in a "Second Wave" and absolutely crushed this beautiful course to get my BQ! Set a 24+ min PR of 3:12:03 over my 2019 MCM time of 3:36. Training cycle adjustments and nutrition plan really paid off. Hats off to this community for the great tips and motivation. See some of you in Boston in 2021!
QOD: ran an 11mile LR on Friday. Have a half marathon coming up March 14th. The long run went great. My goal for the half is 1:45-1:40, and the LR I ran 8:08 pace. However I was cruising at about 7:45 pace from miles 3-8, really feeling good. That has me real excited for the race, only 2 weeks. Can’t wait !!
QD: Ran my 1st 1/2 marathon in 35 years, the Publix Atlanta 1/2 Marathon. Managed a 1:38:05 which was a couple minutes better than planned! Next goal race is the Peachtree on July 4th.
@@SethJamesDeMoor Thanks! I'm back into "serious" running after a long break. Building fitness takes time but I'm happy with the progress. I'm A LOT slower than 1985 but I'm competitive for my age, and most importantly.....Having Fun!
thanks Seth, always enjoy your vlog and congrats! seeing your little one puts things in perspective. ran my first road race in years Sunday, a big 15k and got 2nd in my AG...so if there are any other ultrarunners in their 50's who want to try shorter, faster stuff = you can! just do your leg days!
QD: Needed to do a tune-up half, but since there were not around me, I did a solo time trial. Did a 1:26:50, which would be a big PR if it were an actual race. Satisfied with that, I'm sure I would have done even better with the magic race energy and Vaporflies.
QD: Watched the trials, then headed out for my first 20 miler ever. 20 mph wind made it a tough one but I felt great the next day so training continues as planned. First marathon is May 3rd in Lincoln, NE. Shooting for sub 3:30.
QD: had a 18 mile run...was late meeting up with my group in south at pete so I pushed it for the first 8 miles at a 7:45-7:50 average..once i caught up I ran 10 miles at a 8:20 pace. Was a good change of pace instead of running faster at the end it was more like jumpstart the engine than holding on and working with my endurance!
QD: Coming back from calf/ankle injury I decided to do a small tempo test with 1:26 half marathon. Far from perfect, but looking optimistic with May half marathon ahead. Two months of training should be enough to prepare me for leading an official 1:25 pace group.
QD: Paced a friend of mine for a training-half-marathon, that he wanted to do 4 weeks before his next attempt at breaking the 4 hour marathon mark. Turns out he crushed is HM PR by 4 min, standing at 1:47h now. So I am very confident, he'll reach his goal at sub 4 hours. Hamburg is pronounced quite differently to your suggestions btw, if your intention was to pronounce it the German way at least :) The "Ha-" is like in "haha" and the "-burg" (which means "castle") has the "U" as an "oo" like in "room" for example. Would be nice to see, if that weird explanation will make you able to pronounce "Hamburg" the proper way :D
PB 47:43 10K on snow and ice. Running on spikes in the centre of my hometown in a race. Feeling good and looking to beat that time in my next 10k on solid ground :)
QD: I'm coming back from an injury and trialing Jeff Galloway's run/walk strategy, where I run 1km then walk 30sec. I did 16km (10mi) on Sunday using this through 12km. Paradoxically, I am running faster than I was before my injury. I'm pretty happy with that. My son, broke his Parkrun pb by 32sec, which was great to watch.
QD: First 30k long and windy run preparing for Hamburg, finished it off with 12k of my goal (dream) marathon tempo 4:12/km (6:45/mi). Felt quite alright 😊
Qod: 2wks from my marathon, tapering, crushed it, did a 14mile LR with 2x4@hmp! Gave me confidence to be able to maintain that much sub-racepace quality
QD: this weekend our half marathon race was cancelled due to coronavirus scare. But I managed to run an unofficial Half Marathon for the first time EVER !!! 🤩 So so happy !!!
QD: 16 km long run on the trail with 2" of fresh snow. It was a glorious day and great to see everyone out running/walking/skiing/toboganning to enjoy it!
Long run was 16 miles. Felt good, all but my feet. Temps were in the teens and single digit wind chills. These temps cause the foam in my shoes to stiffen up a lot. By the end it felt like They were made of boards. All good now. Shoes are soft and my feet are happy. I must be. Penguin!!!
Ran the Nike 15km in Copenhagen as warm up for Copenhagen marathon in May. Managed new PRs for 5k, 10k and 15k in one race. Overall finished in 1h 5mins :)
Was able to run my first ultra this past Saturday - RedDirt Ultra 50k 😀. Course was a little short but still over 26.2 so I’ll take it! Longest distance ever for me by about 10 miles. I’m late to the running game at almost 40 years of age but I’m absolutely loving it!
QD: Did a 16km run at 5:00/km, which usually is way too fast for me and closer to race pace for a half marathon than training, but I felt good and just went with it.
QD: ran the Publix Atlanta Half the day after the trials. It was brutal but beautiful and fun! Maybe I walked around too much Saturday spectating, but I don’t think staying in my hotel room all day would have made any difference in how I felt on the hills 😂
Hamburg: the A is pronounced as in hard or fast and the U is pronounced like in super or like the "oo" in boot. Stress is put on the first syllable. The M is pretty short as well.
QOD: Ran the Half Marathon in Atlanta the day after the trials. It was a lot of fun, but it was a very tough course and it made the respect I already had for what the runners did at the trials go through the roof!
QD: My long run was great to a point, I was doing a long marathon training run with 3x5km @ MP thrown in, after my second interval I had a fair amount of pain in my left hip so I slowed right down and increased the time between the second and third interval to more than I had originally planned, which seemed to help may hip recover. So good session in but perhaps a bit more rest this week.
I have a question regarding your pacing strategy during training runs. How fast is easy/steasy/steady compared to your goal race pace? I am training for my first marathon this spring, shooting for 6:50 pace and have been doing my long runs around 7:04. It doesn’t feel too hard at all, but I know the long run is supposed to be slower. Just curious what your thoughts are around pacing. Thanks!
QD: Long Run my first time going 13.2 on the road and it felt good! Seth please don't do chores on the vlog anymore, my wife saw it and made me do the dishes after dinner.🤣
beautiful story of competitors helping each other seth (I also heard Walmsley strong armed Lagat later in the race saying "look out grandpa!"....not to bad mouth anyone)
QoD had a good weekend, did my first ever park run came 2nd place then went for a 30k long run, struggled on the last part of the long run, onwards & upwards 👍
There seem to be some different takes on how to pronounce the name of this city! I have been there a couple of times, and this is my take on how the locals pronounce it: 1st syllable - “ham” as in the meat 2nd syllable - “bourg” - noticeably different to the pronunciation of places ending ‘berg’. English speakers tend to pronounce both the same.
QD: I had a REALLY good 1k race this past weekend. We were actually just doing a practice meet, so it was only my team, but I ran in the 4x1k and I was the first leg. EVERYONE thought that I would be in last place by 20-30 meters, but I ran a really smart race and was able to kick it in for 3rd on my leg! (Out of 4). Everyone I was racing was varsity on XC, and I was 3-4 spots out from varsity.
QD. Long run this week was 2 hours. Covered 29km in 2 hours. 5 weeks out from Geelong half marathon so long run was a bit quicker tempo in preparation for race day.
Hey Seth, on your training block, is it as clear cut as adding tempo runs post aerobic base then removing tempo and adding intervals? Or do you add tempo then also add intervals (I.e. in say week 10 you will be doing easy/ steasy runs + tempo runs + interval runs?) Also, do you carry tempo and interval into the taper (I.e. maintain intensity but reduce volume?)
QD: I did the official training run for the Yamacraw 50k trail run which will be in April. We did a 10 mile loop and I did a second lap. The weather was perfect and Big South Fork National Park is absolutely beautiful.
I'm doing a trail marathon in July with two fairly big climbs at the start and end, middle 12 miles is pretty pan flat. Would I look to implement a similar 16 week training structure as the one Seth uses for a road marathon, just with some more specific hill work, or would it be completely different?
I love them and worry they won’t be as cushioned now that more recent colors are “light strike” instead of Boost. Might have to pick up some more on sale now that the v 9 is on the way. I’m also checking out their new model, the SL 20. It’s also light strike but looks like it will have more substantial cushion than the Adios. I tried the Adios 5 on but it didn’t hug my foot like the Boston. Not a good fit for me.
QD: just started trying some low heart rate training for a triathlon in April. Never realized how difficult it is to run and keep your heart rate at or below 140bpm (zone 2)! I just want to go fast!
Do you think that if you are in a training program for a specific distance like marathon or 50k. You should include a long run at that distance? Every training plan I see comes short by 4-5 miles of the goal distance which I think is pretty significant. My first marathon training plan maxed out at 22 miles. Real world I would still have 40 minutes or so on my feet to complete a marathon.
I'm so jealous! I got IT band syndrome around the same time you injured your knee. I still can't run. Haven't been able to go out for a run for months now. Taking anti inflammation meds going on 3 weeks and still no help. I don't want to go strengthening my body until the inflammation goes away, but it just doesn't want to settle down. How did you get your inflammation to go down so fast?
you need to strenghten your gluets and hip flexors, i had the same issue went away in two weeks with constant hip and gluet exerisces, also use a resistance band this aids in recovery a lot
I also had it on one side after my first marathon last August. It wasn’t going away by itself, and stretching and massage wasn’t enough. Find a great physical therapist. I did and she observed that my hips were rotated. She gave me hip and flute strengthening exercises and I did them religiously, but she also gave me what turned out to be one magical asymmetrical stretch to correct the rotation. More or less it was like pigeon pose on my back for one side and a hip flexor opener for the other. I was back and running a couple of weeks after starting this routine and now I’m training for an April 20 marathon but this time the problem hasn’t occurred. In retrospect I noticed a nagging ache on the side of the one knee during my long runs last summer but figured it was just normal soreness. NOT!
@@connerstone9195 I started to do this, but my knee pain would flare up. So I stopped and figured I should wait for the inflammation to settle. I think I'm going to start up again. Thanks.
@@Martha-fluterunner thanks, I hope to get this figured out soon. Have a half marathon in May I need to start training for. Won't be able to compete, but I at least want to run the race.
Question, I’m new to running (run about one to two miles at a time) and on today’s run I experienced a lot of pain in my kidneys. Anyone have any ideas what that’s about?
Hey I'm 16 years old and I been running for a while and I'm about to sign up for cross country what shoes should i get I kinda want spikes but what would you recommend tho?
Hamburg: on the first line on the English wikipedia Hamburg page you can listen to the correct pronunciation :-). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg QOD: 9 mile trailrace in a forest. Lots of fun but did go flat on my face in a puddle of water :-0. Added more miles in the end to get a solid weekend of running.
QD: Had a great 20 mile tempo at 5:48 pace (see on my Strava Ashton Grissom, www.strava.com/activities/3151731656). I'm in Denver too! Going to run the Boston Marathon, Jerusalem half marathon with Ryan and Sara Hall in a couple weeks, and then Colfax Marathon in May!

Sam Randlett feels so hit hitting distance PRs! Keep it up!
@@AverageRunningPT It really does. I'm in the point in my training where every long run is a distance PR. Really rewarding when you feel exhausted running those distances.
Sam Randlett I understand the feeling. Just ran 9.2 for the first time in over a year this morning. Keep pressing on!
it was a crazy weekend indeed! sorry we couldn't meet up. but i definitely got in a lot of miles running from point to point along the trials course!

I have a question regarding your pacing strategy during training runs. How fast is easy/steasy/steady compared to your goal race pace? I am training for my first marathon this spring, shooting for 6:50 pace and have been doing my long runs around 7:04. It doesn’t feel too hard at all, but I know the long run is supposed to be slower. Just curious what your thoughts are around pacing. Thanks!
QD: Long run was good. Gearing up for a 22 -24 mile long run this weekend. Training for an ultra. Have a good one Seth!
QD: Long Run my first time going 13.2 on the road and it felt good!
Seth please don't do chores on the vlog anymore, my wife saw it and made me do the dishes after dinner.🤣
I did a taper last week for a 12k race on Sunday. In the process I set a new 10k PR by 40 seconds.
beautiful story of competitors helping each other seth (I also heard Walmsley strong armed Lagat later in the race saying "look out grandpa!"....not to bad mouth anyone)
QoD had a good weekend, did my first ever park run came 2nd place then went for a 30k long run, struggled on the last part of the long run, onwards & upwards 👍
There seem to be some different takes on how to pronounce the name of this city! I have been there a couple of times, and this is my take on how the locals pronounce it:
1st syllable - “ham” as in the meat
2nd syllable - “bourg” - noticeably different to the pronunciation of places ending ‘berg’. English speakers tend to pronounce both the same.
QD: I had a REALLY good 1k race this past weekend. We were actually just doing a practice meet, so it was only my team, but I ran in the 4x1k and I was the first leg. EVERYONE thought that I would be in last place by 20-30 meters, but I ran a really smart race and was able to kick it in for 3rd on my leg! (Out of 4). Everyone I was racing was varsity on XC, and I was 3-4 spots out from varsity.
QD: I did a long run on sunday, it was 15.3 miles at 7' 22" pace. Felt real good n the legs are not sore at all
Brandon Adolphus feels good to crush it!
Hamburg is pronounced Hummburg, so you pronounced the city's name correctly. I did a 15-mile undulating trail training run this weekend.
The beat drop from your original intro hit harder.
QD: 30km long run, with 10k@MP 2k@Easy 6k@MP somewhere in the middle. On the right track for London marathon 2020 😀
QD. Long run this week was 2 hours. Covered 29km in 2 hours. 5 weeks out from Geelong half marathon so long run was a bit quicker tempo in preparation for race day.
Runatolya halfmarathon on Sunday in 1:37:30. My goal was 1:35. :-(
QD: 18 mile long run. Felt better than last week 17 mile run. Then headed downtown to watch the Trials 🤠🇺🇸👍
Hi. Do you have a video explaining that pyramid training strategy better? Thanks.
Hey Seth, on your training block, is it as clear cut as adding tempo runs post aerobic base then removing tempo and adding intervals? Or do you add tempo then also add intervals (I.e. in say week 10 you will be doing easy/ steasy runs + tempo runs + interval runs?)
Also, do you carry tempo and interval into the taper (I.e. maintain intensity but reduce volume?)
QD: I did the official training run for the Yamacraw 50k trail run which will be in April. We did a 10 mile loop and I did a second lap. The weather was perfect and Big South Fork National Park is absolutely beautiful.
Ran a 5k on sunday and finally smashed the 20-minute mark
technically it is HAHM-burg just like you're saying it, but by that logic you would also have to say AHM-sterdAHm and PA-REE instead of Paris etc.
I'm doing a trail marathon in July with two fairly big climbs at the start and end, middle 12 miles is pretty pan flat. Would I look to implement a similar 16 week training structure as the one Seth uses for a road marathon, just with some more specific hill work, or would it be completely different?
Should try out the Adidas Boston training shoes. Heard they’re like the Aiddas Adios just a bit more cushioning
I have the Boston 7, they are great!
I love them and worry they won’t be as cushioned now that more recent colors are “light strike” instead of Boost. Might have to pick up some more on sale now that the v 9 is on the way. I’m also checking out their new model, the SL 20. It’s also light strike but looks like it will have more substantial cushion than the Adios. I tried the Adios 5 on but it didn’t hug my foot like the Boston. Not a good fit for me.
QD: just started trying some low heart rate training for a triathlon in April. Never realized how difficult it is to run and keep your heart rate at or below 140bpm (zone 2)! I just want to go fast!
Charlie Keith Keep it up! You’ll go faster later if you go slower now! 💪🏼
QOD: Ran a 5K on Saturday and had a PR by 1 minute and 30 seconds. Adding to a great race I came in 3rd in age group.
Abel Sanchez Nicely done with your PR! 💪🏼
Qd: Great time doing my first half marathon distance run.
QoD: 12 mile long run, down week from 18 the previous weekend. Back up to 18 nest week, hoping my April 20 marathon won’t be cancelled 😢
Do you think that if you are in a training program for a specific distance like marathon or 50k. You should include a long run at that distance? Every training plan I see comes short by 4-5 miles of the goal distance which I think is pretty significant. My first marathon training plan maxed out at 22 miles. Real world I would still have 40 minutes or so on my feet to complete a marathon.
I'm so jealous! I got IT band syndrome around the same time you injured your knee. I still can't run. Haven't been able to go out for a run for months now. Taking anti inflammation meds going on 3 weeks and still no help. I don't want to go strengthening my body until the inflammation goes away, but it just doesn't want to settle down. How did you get your inflammation to go down so fast?
you need to strenghten your gluets and hip flexors, i had the same issue went away in two weeks with constant hip and gluet exerisces, also use a resistance band this aids in recovery a lot
I also had it on one side after my first marathon last August. It wasn’t going away by itself, and stretching and massage wasn’t enough. Find a great physical therapist. I did and she observed that my hips were rotated. She gave me hip and flute strengthening exercises and I did them religiously, but she also gave me what turned out to be one magical asymmetrical stretch to correct the rotation. More or less it was like pigeon pose on my back for one side and a hip flexor opener for the other. I was back and running a couple of weeks after starting this routine and now I’m training for an April 20 marathon but this time the problem hasn’t occurred. In retrospect I noticed a nagging ache on the side of the one knee during my long runs last summer but figured it was just normal soreness. NOT!
@@connerstone9195 I started to do this, but my knee pain would flare up. So I stopped and figured I should wait for the inflammation to settle. I think I'm going to start up again. Thanks.
@@Martha-fluterunner thanks, I hope to get this figured out soon. Have a half marathon in May I need to start training for. Won't be able to compete, but I at least want to run the race.
In the base training period, was it only easy run to cover the distance? Any other running? Thank you
did you say don't do Hills when training for Road Marathons?
Question, I’m new to running (run about one to two miles at a time) and on today’s run I experienced a lot of pain in my kidneys. Anyone have any ideas what that’s about?
I went 18 at 7:15 pace
For my easy pace. My half is 1:25 and I recently ran a 10 miler at 1:02:46. Do y’all think I could break 3 in the full?
DaXcrunner It’s certainly possibly but your easy pace is waaay too fast!
Just so you have something to compare to, I recently ran a 1:21 half, a 3:00 full, and my easy runs are 8:30-8:50.
QOD: not long as time crunched so just 6 miles...but I'm ok with that, not marathon training this year.
Hey I'm 16 years old and I been running for a while and I'm about to sign up for cross country what shoes should i get I kinda want spikes but what would you recommend tho?
QD: PR at a 15K, still plenty of room to improve at that infrequently raced distance.
Which marathon you training for?
Hamburg: on the first line on the English wikipedia Hamburg page you can listen to the correct pronunciation :-). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg
QOD: 9 mile trailrace in a forest. Lots of fun but did go flat on my face in a puddle of water :-0. Added more miles in the end to get a solid weekend of running.
QD: Had a great 20 mile tempo at 5:48 pace (see on my Strava Ashton Grissom, www.strava.com/activities/3151731656).
I'm in Denver too! Going to run the Boston Marathon, Jerusalem half marathon with Ryan and Sara Hall in a couple weeks, and then Colfax Marathon in May!
