The Trials and Tribulations of Running YouTubers

Nick Bester will never break 2:20. His ego is way too big. He just signed up to run New York marathon and wants to pace 2:45. Dude just ran a 60km ultra too AND London marathon in the ‘recovery’ from Manchester.

Clearly putting the word Marathon on YouTube titles is much more important than breaking 2:20 for him. His training is garbage and constantly broken up by events like this, like he’s constantly desperate for attention. He’s going to give himself 10 weeks to build ‘speed’ in prep to run Berlin in 2:19. 10 weeks is nothing and he will not get into 14:2x shape or close to 30 flat in order to run 2:19.

Going to watch him run 2:22 at Berlin and watch him say that it wasn’t meant to be today. Quote this after Berlin. He should stop talking about sub 2:20 after this, as he clearly doesn’t even want it.

Seth had some great traction the other day in his strava comments on his 2nd threshold run of his training block. Still can't understand why this guy has flat-lined in subscriber count!

Looks like Seth is gonna be more prepared for his upcoming road races than
ever before. I’m glad to see some adjustments being made to bring
himself to the next level.

You’re new around these parts Ben Anastasoff ?!? Welcome! Go back three years on my Strava….
Never judge any runner, even if you think you know their whole story; trust me, you don’t.

Seth James DeMoor, no sir, I’ve been watching your stuff for years. You’ve always worked
hard and you have plenty of talent. It is no secret though that you have
blown up in previous marathons. For years you did almost all aerobic
base work, with few efforts anywhere near threshold until the end of the
training block. You have endurance for days, but your training in the
past neglected a very important part of the picture. I can see that you
are now no longer putting threshold on the back burner. I respect that,
just like I respect any person who is willing to be introspective and
make changes for the better. That was the meaning of my comment. It was
not a snide remark aimed at causing irritation as it seems you have
interpreted.

Seth James DeMoor Seth we love you man. But you can't be so sensitive, Ben Anastasoff
didn't say anything particularly out of line, and if you post your
training online, you should be prepared for people to comment on it.
Your hypersensitivity to comments constructive criticism pushed a lot of
people away from your channel and overall brand. If someone insults or
trolls you (or your family), it's totally reasonable to be fuming. But
someone saying that their happy to see you change your training around
so you can hit the "next level"? Come on... I've been watching you
since pre-COVID, back in the days of the old shoedio, the old Honda CRV,
the smaller house and still watch most of your vids. We all want to see
you do well - not everyone is out to get you :) Good luck and God bless
you and your family
