Good prediction.

Slow guy. Slow course. Fast shoes.

For kicks, I used this site’s awesome search function to find the early mentions of Seth. He was once a bit of a hero for being a walk-on at Colorado and also posted at least once for advice on plantar fasciitis.

Slow guy with a 2:20 prediction. Wonder what fast is in your books.

Give me 2:18:53.

I think he will break 3:00. Beyond that I don't care. 2:59:59 or 2:00:00 is all just sub 3 to me.

2:42:35

Has to take a crap at mile 19

HE will run 5.20 pace as long as possible then crash hard to the finish. I predict 1.10 +1.11 at halfway, Finishing in 2.27 - 2.28 . Hopefully he stops trying to reinvent marathon training and next time swallow his ego and get an advisor. He is certainly capable of running sub 2.20 but not the idiotic way he trains. Seth , Hire me and I will get you to a sub 2:19 in a year,

What is up with the people who show up to his meet up runs?

I get so much second hand cringe watching it that I wouldn’t be able to go to one of those things in person.

Why are people so fascinated with a 2:23 marathoner?

I think Seth could be surprisingly very fast even sub 2:15 potential. However, his training is so dumb. I’m not a coach and won’t pretend to be a guro in running but if you review his logs in a 3 month build up he might run once or twice faster than his marathon pace. He is all about aerobic base which I think most marathoners are but they all do at least some faster stuff. Personally I don’t consider any run at or slower than marathon pace a tempo but he would have you believe it is.

Any updates on how Seth is doing?
