QD: embracing winter training full on. My mantra is “no excuses” … living in So Cal our winter conditions are mild & seeing what runners have to endure in other parts of the country& world inspires me to keep it up.
hoping to get into the winter training not mush to prepare because I have done it a lot - looking forward to finally being healthy - may be doing more of a low heart rate kind of thing...
Seth, don’t worry about what people say. Running in the mountains and marathon street running all have positive aspects. Plus the chance/challenge to run at the trials in Atlanta!! Keep doing what you do. Also, my wife loves when True Love is on the Vlog:)
I started watching your channel around the time you did a collab with kofuzi. I’m running my first marathon in Houston, and it’s awesome to watch you train for it at the same time!
In Austria we are still in late autumn and the valleys are almost everywhere snowfree. I am taking it slow, finishing the season with easy and joy-runs keeping the volume more or less high, between 40 and 60K per week. November is very uncomfortable in Austria, it is getting better when everything is white. Greetings from Salzburg/Austria!
Getting chilly here in NH, fortunately no snow yet, has been an easy transition coming into "winter", have to be flexible because the weather can change anytime and it will shift your training. just working on base mileage, trying to stay healthy as I hope to attempt my first ultra in June (scared to sign up)
Winter blew in a bit early here in Michigan. That said, the winter training has started. The winter tights, running pants, jackets and hats are now on full display. My wife is loving it!!!
I always hated the wintertime because cycling in the winter is no fun because I'm always cold no metter what I wear but running have made a massive change because I actually recently discovered that i love to run in the cold ( 2°celcius) so my winter will be amazing this year!!
QOTD: Winter has come early to Ontario, Canada - 40 minutes north of Toronto to be exact. Big challenge is picking routes which are (relatively) clear of snow and ice. Subdivision sidewalks aren't great, roads are too narrow when snow is piled up - so hitting park paved trails is usually the best option. Luckily there's a great trail system in my town, Newmarket - but it can become a little boring running the same paths - could be worse. Dialing in the clothing is always a challenge - trying to find the Goldie Locks perfect combination - not too hot, not too cold. Protecing the face/bare skin when it's -20 is always a challenge, as is running with so much gear it feels like a snowsuit. Running indoors is always an option, but with the lack of sunlight during the winter months, getting outside for vitamin D is much needed for my physical and mental health. Seth, as for the marathon specific training, I think it's awesome and practical. Like the advice you so wisesly give, be weary of changing the training too drastically too soon - baby steps. I have never been nor will I ever be in your league when it comes to speed, but for me, being strong, bulletproof and tough has helped with results vs any specific kinds of training. The last 5 miles of a marathon is about suffering. Regardless of the type of runs, terrain, speed or cadence, the BIG QUESTION is, will your training prepare you for the suffering so you can maintain the speed, not necessarily gain the speed? As I routinely say, you can't bank time, but you can bank energy! Keep up the great work. You've a lot of people pulling for you. You've inspired so many - myself included. I'm back in the long-distance mindset hoping to once again to qualify and run Boston. Tomorrow's run is a 15 km, 9+ mile base builder - baby steps, baby steps. Cheers!
6:21 “You will make progress everyone, you will make progress-if you’re consistent. Only if you’re consistent.” I wish I learned that many many years ago, but I’ll take it now. Thanks Seth!
In my opinion you can be a world class mountain runner, but if road marathons is what your heart is asking for then road marathons it is my man, i know you'll get it done!!!!
This is awesome! People think I'm insane for working my training plan out on real paper calendars like that. I'm just starting transition to more maintenance winter running since I usually try to maintain rather than improve in these dark cold months.
My transition isnt going to well, end of spring and we are already reaching 38°C by the afternoon and its not even summer yet. Find it hard to run in that weather after a hard physical day at work. Trying to get in whatever runs I can early morning on weekends at the moment. Winter is our best running weather here where I live in Australia.
QOD: coming into "winter" here in Cambodia is awesome. Means everyday is just hot (instead of very hot). After a half marathon in 2 weeks time I will be focussing on trail/Ultra races for the next 6 months so looking forward to spending more time in the jungle and mountains!
QD: The first few cold runs of the season were a shock to my system for sure! Stepping outside for the first time at 5am in subzero temps is absolutely miserable......but now it's slightly less miserable. :) It definitely takes time to transition from shorts to running jackets and thermal tights which, this year in Denver it was literally overnight!
You are a minor celebrity at road marathons, and who wouldn't love that? Amsterdam and NYC looked incredibly fun, and I can't imagine those shout-outs ever getting old. Looking forward to tracking you in Houston.
I hate winter running hahaha but this year is the first year I’m running in the cold and I find it that I don’t mind it if I just run easy to keep and shape and do strength work on the legs and start marathon training this spring
QOD Living and running in the UK, 13 weeks until my next half marathon. Swimming 2 to 3 times a week to maintain and build my aerobic base. Faster treadmill sessions twice a week with two longer outdoor runs a week. Trying to build strength in the gym when Im there and and doing as much mobility as I can first thing on a morning. This is the plan at least, reality is somewhat different.
I’m in Northern Michigan. November through March is snowshoe running time. There is no better workout. People say XC skiing is (and I XC ski) but they clearly haven’t tried snowshoe running. The heart rate goes through the roof. You can coast/recover on downhills with XC skis - not the case with snowshoes. Hill repeats are insane. Dion’s are the way to go.
QD: Going great so far, consistently hitting 50+ mile weeks going into Spring marathon prep. Weather is getting cold so my times are getting better but always have trouble keeping my hands from freezing below zero temperatures no matter what I do. Maybe a combination of it always being so windy and my hands sweating so much. Definitely try to do most of the runs while there is still daylight, but getting hard as it starts to get dark around 5:30 pm now.
Previous month I managed to receive my first five figure check ever!!! I've been working for this company over the web for 2 yrs now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the best thing regarding it is the fact I am not that tech-savvy, they just asked for basic awareness of internet and key typing skill...Great thing about this work is that I have more time with my family. I am able to spend quality time with my family and friends and look after my children and also going on holiday vacation with them very routinely. Don't neglect this chance and try to respond quickly. Let me show you what I do... *acttoday48.com*
Me(18) and a friend of mine(17) have started marathon training and today we did a 16 mile and it destroyed us. Last week we did 14 and it was a breeze but today's run was hell.
Interesting point about the camaraderie, Kipchoge also mentions that marathon should be a team sport. Human beings are meant to run in groups, syncing steps w each other and using that rhythm to raise above the pain
QD: In Silverton during the cold, snowy months, Mother Nature becomes my “coach” My training depends largely on 1. available route options 2. Temperature 3. severity of conditions. I try to watch the weather forecasts and “front load” with more training on the “better” weather days. The worst weather days are often easier recovery type efforts...bit I am out there every day! No treadmills! 😀👍
Living in SW Florida no big swings in weather, however we are definitely getting some cooler days and it is nice! Paces are picking up with little increase in HR🏃🏻
QD: Generally, I prefer training in the cold over training in the heat, so the transition is OK for me. Not to say it can't get tough when winter storms and polar vortex's come - then I go with the treadmill. The outlook for the northeast US is for lots of snow and cold, so I may try to supplement running with x-c skiing. My running club's training plan for Boston starts Christmas week, so for now I can just run informal "base miles" to keep fitness up.
QD: Weather in the UK is very wet and pretty miserable at the moment. Fluctuating temps getting down to 0. Water logged routes and flooded access points sadly, so sticking with tarmac or treadmill
After doing a 50k in two weeks I'm going to work on strength and speed on the road so I can shoot for an aggressive goal of beating my 10 year old half marathon PR so I'm looking forward to to watching your next two months of training.
Just ended cross country with team finishing 3rd at states, I’ve been hurt with a hip injury but was able to run regionals but now we’re about 2 weeks from indoor starting and I’m already putting together some good workouts, looking forward to the 1000 in indoor
QD: Buying Brooks Cascadia Gore-Tex lined trail shoes is the best thing I've done so far. Keeps the feet warm and dry! I'll stay on the trails as much as possible. I'm looking for a good light (head, waist or handheld?). When temp is under 10, I'll usually opt for the treadmill and do 'hills' since it's so flat here.
QOD-I've got 2 weeks until I run the California International Marathon in Sacramento. Then it's a week with no running and then 2 weeks of very easy runs until the end of the year. Between now and the end of the year, I'll figure out which races I want to run and then draft my training plan.
I’m been running mountains here in Spain for a year now but watching your channel has got me thinking about a marathon in Murcia city next February!!! Question: everyone talks about a good warm up routine but what do you do for a warm down????? Keep up the good work I’m addicted to your channel 😂😂
Seth, love your videos so far as I’m new to running and stumbled across your channel. 1 suggestion, can you boost your audio volume? When I watch your videos I have to turn the volume all the way up and then when the commercial plays it’s crazy ass loud lol. Anyway. Love the videos thanks for sharing your journey and your NYC video definitely motivated me
In terms of recovery/mobility accountability, you could always do a live stream stretch & foam roller routine in the next few weeks ... not only would it be good for the DGR TH-cam family, but by explaining each stretch live as you're doing them maybe this would help you really dial it in and focus on what you are trying to accomplish with each stretch/movement.
Running form: I did a vid on my channel showing how my running form has changed after some advice from a running physio (and experienced runner himself). It still shocks me how poor my form was, but I knew no different of course.
QD: I plan to work on improving flexibility and core strength this winter. got this old book called the runner’s yoga book by Jean Couch.Going to give it a try...all the best for your next training block
QOD: just starting to transition... wore long sleeves on last run... I’ll be wearing a bit more just hoping to not need my Chippewas boots yet... they’re heavy to run in but the grip can’t be beat! Rocky trained in the snow and mountains and beat Drago... don’t completely give up the hills!
QOD: transition to XC skiing to optimize all those stability muscles without injury and train to HR. Helps when you can't get the time on feet due to cold/snow!
QOD: unfortunately, transitioning to the treadmill in Michigan. I’m training for a spring marathon and last winter was brutal with lots of snow and icy runs (multiple slip and falls). Going to try to keep the long run outside on the weekends but my weekday schedule only allows runs in the dark which just aren’t safe in the approaching winter months.
QOD: The transition into winter running has been tough... Especially since do all my runs in the mornings. I live about an hour north of Toronto and its already freezing out for runs... Not looking forward to January and February lol
QD: my transition has been really rough. Got some tendonitis from a combination of the cold and slippery roads and transition to pavement. Wisconsin winter is brutal.
Vids r great. I will follow this with interest. Watching SDJ fast w/o seems to me the stride is already there/ability to hold stride for distance lacking. There must be all sorts of prescriptions to solve this. Will be interesting what's decided on that's consistent with long term health and injury prevention, which would seem to be issues when u've improving from very good to lower curve of very best.
I've never seen a runners feet in such good condition. I have corns, dry skin and a damaged toenail and I thought my feet looked good considering the sport.
Seth, since you are saying “no” to the mountains during your focus on the marathon, will you still be running hills, and if so, what kinds of hill runs and how frequently?
I see a lot of people are talking about dynamic stretching in the comments, my mom is very into something called Somatics which sounds interesting for mobility... have any runners here tried it?
QOD: I'm transitioning from marathon training to keeping at half marathon shape while snowboarding during the winter. When summer rolls around, I will be starting a new full marathon training cycle!
Stumbled upon smashrun.com, really great use of big data (it's simple to import runs from Strava or other apps/devices). Best to use on a laptop. Get the idea not many people know of this website. Anyone else using it? What do you think Seth?
Critic: You might not like this, but your decision making has been all over the place. 2 marathons in 2 weeks, 2 weeks before an important championship race to represent the USA? Now you're only left with 57 days to prepare for a marathon where you have to taper for 2-3 weeks ... good luck with that.
Keep up the good work Seth! I almost took it easy this morning but your videos make me want to go for a run. Thanks for the kudos the other day too 😎👍

Totally agree. One can have goals and joy in training for a road 5k or for a trail ultra. Life is short...Mix it up!
Foam roller! Your emphasis on this has made me introduce this into my daily routine and now I cannot do without it. Grateful to you for that.
I started watching your channel around the time you did a collab with kofuzi. I’m running my first marathon in Houston, and it’s awesome to watch you train for it at the same time!
"Hey son what are you doing?"

What is the band you use when stretching? You've got it around your feet and pulling on it. It doesn't seem to be on your list of items...

4 months to go here... The transition to winter running is, well, use different clothes! :D That's it!
Qd i made my transition abt a month ago with new coach aswell.....transition went gr8 and feel so much faster

Going to try to keep the long run outside on the weekends but my weekday schedule only allows runs in the dark which just aren’t safe in the approaching winter months.
look at the bright side, when you run on a treadmill and the sudden urge to poop comes, there's always a toilet close by
Haha, too true!
There’s always a grab tree...yikes...
Seth, I saw that Sage Cannaday is going for a 2:18 in Houston, find his heels and cruise to your 2:19 OQ
QOD: The transition into winter running has been tough... Especially since do all my runs in the mornings. I live about an hour north of Toronto and its already freezing out for runs... Not looking forward to January and February lol
Im on the 7th day of my break too!!
QD: my transition has been really rough. Got some tendonitis from a combination of the cold and slippery roads and transition to pavement. Wisconsin winter is brutal.
Time to dial it in, Seth! The road to Houston starts here
QOD: in the UK getting used to the cold, wet, muddy runs,extremely wet right now.
It’s definitely really really wet out there. Adjustments are needed
Seth you will enjoy Houston. Pretty flat Hope I get to see you there

I've never seen a runners feet in such good condition. I have corns, dry skin and a damaged toenail and I thought my feet looked good considering the sport.
7 Way Hips by Ryan Flaharety is an effective and timely routine for Mobility if you’re interested!
Seth, since you are saying “no” to the mountains during your focus on the marathon, will you still be running hills, and if so, what kinds of hill runs and how frequently?
I see a lot of people are talking about dynamic stretching in the comments, my mom is very into something called Somatics which sounds interesting for mobility... have any runners here tried it?
I've got too much bounce, sway side to side too much (weak hips), and I land forefoot too far ahead. Any tips?
QOD: I'm in Florida. We get one or if were lucky 2 weeks in the 50 Fahrenheits
QD: weather is all over the place here in Wisconsin 2 degrees Fahrenheit one day now 40 today
QOD: I'm transitioning from marathon training to keeping at half marathon shape while snowboarding during the winter. When summer rolls around, I will be starting a new full marathon training cycle!
Warning: don’t watch this if you are eating! LOL
QOD: In the UK taking another day to recover from knee injury because the trails are under water. So much rain ☔
Trails are waterlogged near me in the UK also. Sad times.
Try and get some Dynamic stretching as well. Your body gets used to the movement you do to it.
Nothin says ‘just keepin it real’ like an up close camera angle of rubbing cream into feet 🦶 😂
Should done CIM
And this is my current running form th-cam.com/video/ab7Y0xbGfXc/w-d-xo.html
Q&A with TRuE LOvE! (What's she thinking about all this running!!?)
Haha I think I run like a pro and when I see myself in the shop window omg
Seth if you see this i'd try incorporating more dynamic stretching/drills into your routine as opposed to simply static stretching
Im from latvia I hate winter
Stumbled upon smashrun.com, really great use of big data (it's simple to import runs from Strava or other apps/devices). Best to use on a laptop.
Get the idea not many people know of this website. Anyone else using it? What do you think Seth?
Critic: You might not like this, but your decision making has been all over the place. 2 marathons in 2 weeks, 2 weeks before an important championship race to represent the USA?
Now you're only left with 57 days to prepare for a marathon where you have to taper for 2-3 weeks ... good luck with that.
