Just saw the same post of him hawking the iFit bike. It was honestly kind of sad to see — you can tell he doesn’t actually care about the product. Even beyond that, he’s clearly gotten to the point where he needs to “sell out” to keep the ball rolling on the channel.
You know what would help him sleep great? Beam Dream CBD!!! Just mix up the chocolate peppermint goodness right before bedtime and enjoy a great night's sleep! All the cool running influencer/athletes are using it.
Just so you guys know someone posted about all the hurtful stuff you said about Seth in his Facebook group and you guys are getting absolutely roasted over there.
So, someone on his FB group posts a bunch of stuff about how LRC users predict that he will fall short of the OTQ, that he trains incorrectly, that he looks tired from burning the candle at both ends, that he looks disinterested when pimping NordicTrack equipment, etc.. SJD's fans on his private FB group disagree and that is "roasting"? If the FB comments are anything like the YT comments, then it is nothing but attaboys, positive platitudes, and "don't let those haters get you down, DGR STRONG!!!".
Let's see what happens in Rotterdam, shall we? Will the predictions of knowledgeable LRC posters that are/were high performers and coaches be correct? Or will the wishful thinking and faith of the DGR Family prevail?

Last year before NYC someone legit asked him on Strava why he was doing so many long runs at 8:30-9:30 min/mile, and suggested adding more speedwork. The guy got obliterated by his fanbois for being a "hater". SJD of course didn't reply.

"Hurtful"? It's mostly constructive criticism and analysis here, not "hate" or "hurtful stuff". If he can't handle critiques of his training methods, that's his insecurity. He is basically showing that he is uncoachable if his feelings are getting hurt.
This morning’s vlog is a doozy! Several minutes of SJD walking around his house with a headlamp hanging around his neck while he warms up his coffee. Then a rambling screed filmed in two different venues plus his car on the four attributes that a good coach must have. Sadly, detailed and deep understanding of training principles not amongst that list.
Get those credit cards out, DGR Fam! Clueless Uncle Seth seems to be entering the coaching business.
How about on a real course bro? Has he ever broken 2:19? The dude is a 2:19-2:20 marathoner in races where it counts regardless of your opinion.
Aside from that distraction, the point is that SJD has the base, has the talent, and has the right body/frame to do very very well. The problem is he doesn't understand how to train properly or refuses to do so for whatever reason.
It's maddening to see. He could be putting up way better results in way less time (fewer miles, faster miles) and spending more time with his beautiful loving family. Running the Olympic trials. Instead his attention is split in a million different ways and he's getting old.
I actually ran 2:18 low at the Olympic Trials (Houston) as well. If you don't want to count my 2:16:52 (rock n' roll San Diego 2011) fine. I ran a legit 1:04:32 half...which honestly is probably a better performance.
If you don't count my marathon PR though you can't count anyone's PR at CIM or Boston or Grandmas because they are also point to point courses.
Sage, what do you think about Seth's 4-5 hours/night of sleep?
Imagine paying someone for coaching and he just sends you out on a bunch of zone 1 jogs for hours on end each week. Just keeps stuffing you full of bobo's and butter. Don't worry, you'll get that BQ! Just stay strong brother! And keep that wallet handy!

Don't forget to retire your shoes at 50 miles and to just "wing it" as far as pacing on race day!
Funny thing about this Nordiktrack is that while Sage is doing some real workouts on a threadmill and asking for one , Seth received one and walk backward on it once in a while .
Canaday (age 36 which I believe is one year younger than Seth): Canaday’s Best 10,000 m is better than his 5000 m. He gets maximum points, 1025, for his 2:18:24 marathon.
