TrueLove didn't like the idea to travel with the kids to Boston, they need at least 2 nannies to take care of the boys, at the end is less expensive to travel to europe

S/he also didn't like the vaccine requirement for Boston. Everything else was cover. Can't do Easter in BOSTON of all places? Is there a more Catholic city in America? And there's no chance that she needed two other adults to help with four kids.

I thought it was obvious that the plan would be to leave the kids at home with the wife to watch them? Doesn't matter if you're going to Boston or Europe - 6 sets of plane tickets and meals is pretty expensive compared to Seth going on his own. And it would fit that the husband breadwinner would travel alone while the wife housekeeper does what she always does.

Seth needs to learn about intensity modulation. High mileage is not enough. He also needs to drastically shorten his taper. Some athletes like Mosop preform better with very little taper. Seths tapers are insanely long and dramatic with very little proper intensity.

On the money topic. We have to remember that it's not 2015 or even 2018 anymore. Sub count and YT ads are no long the driving force behind money anymore. Patreon or YT subscriptions make more money for all but the absolute biggest YT channels today. Toss in random amounts of money from Super Chats and I suspect Seth is doing decently for himself.

A bit different genre, but in the sailing YT world a lot of channels can support themselves as full-time content creators with only 100k-ish subs because enough of those subs have also joined the paid subscription or Patreon service.

I'm sorry, do you think SAILING YOUTUBERS don't have family money?

Too funny. Ivy league rowing YT might also be able to get by on Patreons

I wonder if Seth, in order to break through the 3 hour mark, needs to ditch the diet too. His borderline eating disorder like obsession with eating 'well/clean' leaves him zero wiggle room with his body. I'm sure I've heard even the Kipchoge's let it go in between race preps then dial it in and drop a few pounds as the race gets closer. Seth likes to red line everything (except speed work) and it means there are no more gears to shift in to when he needed, other than going harder, crashing and going home devastated to the subscriber dollars Oldrunningguy is contributing to be able to post a stick of butter to the comments.

Anyone knows the secret to a proper training block is to keep it to yourself. Do what works for you, get the work done, allow yourself bad days, stay focused, live a well-rounded life that lets your mental space breathe.

Seth leaves no time for any of this. He's filming and editing all day, and when he isn't, he's artifically positioning his life so he has something to film and edit. There's no time for self-reflection. so instead of eating properly, building in speedwork, and finding a local race where his family can attend, he's all 'Eat like a bird! Race major races where they don't know who I am! Must feed content machine!" While oldrunningguy watches every video as soon as it comes out, and cackles to himself over how triggered the LRCers must be as Seth describes his new training block of 180-mile weeks, 30-mile mountain runs with strides at the end of his street, and a dietof bobos and birdseed.

In other words, you can be a serious marathoner, or a daily YouTube content generator profiting off video-addicted fans. You can't be both.

He also has ADHD..

His YouTube channel has never run a marathon?

Who? Both a sarcastic and serious question as I have no idea who he is and why I should care.
