According to my formulas, he will run 2:34.12. I can see him outperforming this time by about a minute, but I will stick with the projected time.
You need new formulas.

Slower than 2:40. Epic bonk after going out too hard. Decides to jog it in and ham it up. Like NYC, turns failure into a week long pity party.
2:22:18 is not that rusty.

Seth’s ‘Thon PR 2019 Amsterdam 2:23:40
His goal is OTQ 2:18:00
My guess - 2:20:30
Winner of the contest will receive special arrangements to come up with new slogan to replace “Butter My Bread”, “Come On Now”, or “Not Feelin’ It”.
I think we will run 2:22:23 based on the amount of junk food he eats.
Wow, I am just off by 5 seconds.
I think Letsrun should me fly out there to Seth to have a nice waffle breakfast and a slow run with him.
As a healthy eater this proves my theory again that you can run very well with a lot of bad nutrition.161 -
Does the fact that Seth didn’t go out as fast as his stated goal pace indicate that he didn’t actually believe he was capable of hitting that pace? Did he just say his goal was to OTQ for views?

He might have felt that jet lag a bit on his body, IMO. Its 50/50 flying in just before or a week or two before and he might have placed the wrong bet there.

Kudos to SJD for outperforming my prediction. He did a better pacing job than usual and that made the difference.
I do still feel that he trains in a stupid way and could benefit greatly from a targeted approach written by a qualified third party.

Looks like ran with Jason Simpson, at least they ran similar splits, for most of the race! At least he beat Jason (2:25:02). Jason is Jenny Simpson’s husband.

So I'd say if he goes out conservatively he will fade and be around 2.24ish but if he tries to stay with a fast group he'll definately blow up again and then it can be 2.30, 2.40 or worse...
Hey only 2 mins of ;)

Some comments from his youtube video today:
WOW! SJD was on pace for an OTQ negative split, but slowed down to pace for the women’s leader! Feminist icon DEE GEE ARR
QD: I think you've put the work in, so I'll say 2:15:00 for Seth!! Let's go!
Well Done Seth. 2:22 Butter My Bread
Just saw it on strava! Smashed it seth 🎉🎉

Now the bashers will move the goal posts from their idiotic predictions. They will try to justify their weeks of bashing by saying that he has so much more untapped potential if he would only listen to their wisdom and do what they say.
No, this is about his potential. He’s proven it before. He’s a 2:22-2:25 guy. This is his peak. No reason to think he couldn’t do it 3-5 more times.
He’s the one who claimed he could run 4-5% faster than that without any evidence to back it up, training or otherwise. You’re focusing your critique on the wrong person.

1. He has real potential to not just scrap an OTQ, but to comfortably do so.
there’s no actual evidence to support this claim, in races or training. The only people who believe this are him and his fans. The gap between him and an OTQ is quite big, and thousands of runners have PBs of 2:22 who can’t get to 2:18.

Non-athletes have no idea how hard it is to improve 5 minutes when you’re running sub 2:25. They think it’s the same as going from 3:45 to 3:30.
Not so. Those 5 minutes are an eternity.153 -
Seth took a big break in running after college. I thought he said 4 year or so. Anyhow my point is he actually doesn’t have the normal leg mileage that normal sub elite at 37 would have. I think he still has a chance for a few more good marathons and possibly hit a 2:17. Agree with he will need to dial in his training and pacing. Good result today and glad he proved my 2:26 prediction wrong. Bring on the waffles!

It’s a good run for him… he has adhd so this truly a show of self control.. something we haven’t seen ever out of him

Can haters give me a summary of what's wrong with his training? I don't watch his videos, except for his shoe reviews.
