He needs to continue wearing the wristband to remind himself he has yet another kid. As long as the wristband is on he knows he must wake early, eat scissored eggs while driving, and plunk himself on top of a 14er for hours on end to avoid being a decent husband and father.
Sigh. Guy really needs a coach. Someone to keep his training honest. How's the current situation going to play out with self coaching?
He's currently clearly overtrained, presumably because of life stress, high training volume and poor training choices. He's had several injuries as a result.
He just apparently got good news from urgent care and his message therapist. He doesn't have a significant injury. So, he'll take a few light recovery days, maybe(?). He'll feel better. Then he'll run something really stupid and start the cycle again. If lucky, it will only be a succession of constant overtraining and minor injuries. If he's unlucky it will ultimately result in significant involuntary down time.
He's still got an engine even though he keeps referencing the fact that he's only getting older. He needs to either actually be honest with himself and set smart training goals, or hire someone that will keep him honest.
I scanned through the vlog and when he started about the power of the massage I skipped to the end and didn't even hear the part about the runner lungs breathing allowing her to get deeper

Yeah, dude is clearly in that yo-yo phase of an injury. Few days off, then back to high mileage. Then injured again, few days off, then back to high mileage. Guy doesn't understand how to properly resolve an injury.

+1 this is 100% spot on. Problem is the 'lows' of the yoyo will keep getting lower and can seriously push him into a career-ending injury, especially at his age and with his history of overtraining. Urgent care is absolutely useless for something like this - if it's super serious and severely painful, go to the ER and get an xray/mri ASAP to avoid the risk that even daily activities like walking aggravate it further. If it can wait, go see a sports medicine MD and get the proper imaging done. If by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, only son of The Father who die so that we may be saved from our sins, there are no injuries, rest for a week and get on a solid PT plan and this can all go away in a month. Not like a month off is really going to change much for SJD's race performances anyways.
Every pro runner has had to sit out at times, it sucks, but ultimately it comes with the job and it's for the best.

he just needs to rub some egg yolk on it and he should be fine
I am still amazed how he is able to support his family than I am with his training and shoe reviews. If he did a VLOG on how much money he is earning and where it comes from, the ratings will go through the roof. He will probably get like 30k-40k views. Just think about all the stuff he has to pay for:
1. Mortgage on a million-dollar home
2. Property taxes yearly
3. Health Insurance for 7 people
4. Car Insurance
5. Car Payment(s)
6. Car Maintenace (insurance, new tires...and yearly registrations fees).
13. Money to go out to eat and going to coffee shops
14. Kids Expenses (clothes, toys, school supplies...)
15. Runnings Expenses (registrations fees, transportation cost, hotel cost...)
16. Utilities
.
.
.
The list goes on and on. I think Seth should be a financial planner--How to afford all this stuff on ONE salary. My God!! How does he do it???? If anyone can figure it out, they deserve the Nobel Prize in Economics.

This is far from the complete answer, but I bet you he claims anything running-related, as well as video equipment, internet, and probably even food and drink, as business deductions. A guy who drives with his knees and ignores rules about drones and trail closures is also a good candidate for filing shady tax returns.
STOP HAVING KIDS - you can't even afford the ones you have.
there has to be an outside income subsidizing this quiverful insanity - i probably make a similar income (or more) than seth AND I have a partner that actually earns a paycheck and we are STILL toughing it out covering bills, mortgage, and supporting two cats
straight ppl get so weird - and then you thrown in CATHOLICISM and it's all a garbage fire. the gender dynamics just get grosser and grosser with each kid also
I speculate that he suddenly came into some money between October 2020 and February 2021. That coincides with an emotional vlog that he can now take care of his family without doing odd jobs, he bought a bunch of new video/editing gear, he massively upgraded his lifestyle, and his persona changed.
He shut her down twice at the end of today's vlog. Why does he think this is normal to put on YouTube? Absolute wierdo!!
I hate that this thread will sometimes suck me in to watching his truly terrible videos.
I guess I'm the only one where the thing that stuck out the most for me was that he has a massage table - which you would only have for someone to give you a massage - and so the only logical conclusion is that he bought himself a massage table for his wife to give him massages. Wow. I guess on top of childcare, her other job is massage therapist to Seth. You have to love the traditional Catholic "values" going on there - "wives obey your husbands as you obey the Lord. The husband is the head of the wife... ".
