Bad performance from him but I give him credit for finishing. It must suck to do 10 min miles and people recognize who you are
Approximately 99% of runners who start the NYC marathon, finish. It is logistically too hard to drop out.
This blowup indicates he is incapable of listening to his body or estimating his fitness. That's understandable if it's your first marathon but no excuses at his level of experience.
I'm not a Seth hater, but I'm glad other people are also mentioning how much filler he puts in his videos. I'll drop by his channel from time to time, and there's barely any running in his posts. It's just shots of him eating breakfast and putting gear on. Walking around making "woooo" noises filming people at work while he's out in public.
Anyway yeah, the guy's workout strategy obviously isn't optimal for a 2:20 marathon. The guy probably doesn't enjoy speed work, and there's nothing wrong with that. He just needs to adjust his goals if that's the case.
He had some real GI issues so I take back what I said somewhat. It happens. That's the downside of focusing all your energy into one race.

Don't forget he also tries to draw a straight line from himself to Kilian Jornet based purely on Pikes Peak times so he rates himself as around that level on the mountains even though he really only focuses on one race, whereas Kilian runs and usually wins everything across Europe under 50k's.
Thats so incredibly disrespectful, lol.
Officials at the unofficial Seth Demoor NYC 'Thon prediction contest have determined not to award any official winner but declare the contest null and void due to unexpected tummy issues by Seth.
We however are offering all contest participants the following links to IHOP and BoBo so you will know what not to eat the day before your next 'Thon experience.

As a bonus we also offer this important training advice:
If your tummy aint strong how will you make it through the 'Thon.
I hate myself and do watch Seth from time to time, and there are things I noticed he's said on his vlog this past year that are interesting in light of this blow-up.
1. He was going to transition his vlog into a nature/scenery thing, rather than a guy sitting in a shed using his thumbs as a durometer and basing all shoe recommendations on a 115 pound runner.
2. He was going to have only 2 'target' races in 2022. Might be tough, considering Pikes, some marathon he'll want to run given the NYC flameout, and these mountain 'championships' he always manages to attend, here and in Europe. Sorry, Lovie, what do you mean by 'target?' And can you take the kids to soccer practice?
Actually, his breakfast on Saturday was a HUGE bowl of oatmeal with bananas. This may be the worst possible combination.
The stack of pancakes was on Friday.
After carb-loading properly, a small bowl of oatmeal 2-3 hours before the race will get your system moving enough to empty it out before the race.
A large bowl of oatmeal 24 hours before a race, without any high-carb, low-water food (like pancakes or toast), is a perfect recipe to give you the poops on race day.

Has to take a crap at mile 19
So I was pretty close. What do I win?
Please see the Official statement from the unofficial Seth Demoor NYC 'Thon prediction contest officials five posts before this one.
Thanks for you refforts and Expect Great Things as we look forward to bringing you the next exciting unofficial contest coming to LRC in the near future.
He’s acting so weird now. It’s like the church gave him a lobotomy.
