Seth Demoor is BACK baby

Roadtrailrun.com reviews follow a steady pattern (works 90% of the time):

1. All reviewed shoes are between very good-excellent. They never call a shoe plain bad.

2. New version of the shoe is better than the previous one.

So, go and buy a new one. That's key message.

This isn't a website designed to give you real reviews but to generate a profit.

Want real reviews? Listen to the people you know, or sometimes you can find honest comments of youtube.

OK, back to the SJDM circus.

Man I hate RTR. They got that old fart who can't edit video to save his life and he runs slower then Seth on his slow days. Yeah dude tell me how fast this new elite carbon plated race shoe feels when you can't run any faster than a 10 minute mile. That's if you can hear him over the wind noise drowning out all of his audio. Absolute amateur hour.

old dude with a sub 2:30 thon PB...

They are much better than BITR, and don’t even mention other midpackers, like ginger, etc.

And that matters how? He obviously can't do that anymore so why is it relevant to the shoe reviews he does now? The shoe reviews where he currently can't use the shoes how they're meant to be used. And guess who else has a sub 2:30? Seth. Yeah suddenly that criteria doesn't matter anymore does it?

Yup. The guy - did you see some of the videos showing how he runs? Or his Strava times? It's a sad joke. Dude is barely moving - ok, considering his age maybe it's all right, but DON"T tell runners that you're a credible source of info.

His acolyte from Boulder, CO, Jeff Valliere. His enthusiastic trail shoe reviews had been contradicted by guys running in the Alps again and again. It's just an example. You choose.

It's more of a business not a running shoe review website.

I don’t watch the vids. I’m mainly after the sizing info anyway. Last shoes I bought were TNF Vectiv Infinite. RTR gave them a bad review but they were 50% off and the guy reviewing them was one of the “need a full thumb length at the end of the big toe” idiots so I rounded that down and bought them and they’ve been great. Shoe reviews I’ll take in a few from generally reliable-ish sources and get the info I need. From there I’m lucky enough money wise that I can trial and error. If I buy shoes and hate them I eat the cost and chuck them in Vinnies bin so someone who needs shoes gets them.

Come on now! It’s the weekend! Turn that door knob and get that long run in! Pump arms, quick feet and butter that bread today! Injured? Remember to PIVOT! You better believe I did! One week and my hamstring injury is gone. I had to get a second opinion on that injury because folks, I just know my body better than anyone else.

OK I'm genuinely confused now. Today's video features another 25M run so obv the HT has magically gone away.. but what im confused about is we've all seen Seth's weird (under)eating habits and in the video of his brothers trail race the other day I was surprised at how puffy SJD's face was as if he'd put on weight, but I put that down to maybe bad angle/early morning(lol)/allergy season.. idk. but in today's video when he's running around in the Ireland vest you can clearly see he has put on weight around his arms and chest. it's not like it's a super tight vest that might give a false appearance..

Maybe he eats much more than he shows, and hides it from his vlogs? There's no way he wouldve put on weight like that so quickly just from a week or two off running on his camera-facing diet?

Sure but BITR by far puts the most effort into attempting to be super cool running bruhs.

Just ate an egg and cheese burrito after my morning run. DGR family! 👊

It could be that his body is messed up from poor nutrition and being on such high volume all the time. He puts himself through starvation conditions, so his body is in emergency mode and will try to store fat as rapidly as it can, so when he comes down in volume and his body is still packing fat away it starts to show after a little bit. He's not at his consistent 140MPW right now. I know he's still running, but he's basically been down in volume for over a month now. A couple 80MPW these last two weeks, but the three weeks before that was practically nothing for him.

His body puts on weight easily because he is constantly in starvation mode. After NYC, he got much larger very quickly. His face really puffs up. He’s gotten himself into quite a negative cycle.

Let that be a lesson, kiddos - stay away from extra virgin olive oil and weird New York City spices!!!!!!

Olive oil is great and what are weird New York spices?

NYC tap water

Heavy, heavy pastas..big portions..something that simply could not be avoided one day prior to what you have been training for the previous 4 months.

Seth if you are reading this drop the 4th almond for dessert and revert to 3 only ASAP c’now now!

Some good points over there. You can smell bs from a mile away. There is a missing link between his still relatively high mpw and undernourishment he seems to be proud enough to put it on display. If you lied 100 times, the 101 is easy. Whatever he "consumes" off the cam, it is something he can afford, financially and morally.

He's a pretty good example of a split personality. I'm not diagnosing him or anything, but can see flashes of it in his videos, esp. when he interacts with his family. Disturbing, but not unusual.
