Seth Demoor admits he only sleeps 4-5 hours a night... foreshadowing for Rotterdam?

There are some weird excuses in this video. Saying you're 'too excited for Youtube' is not a reason to get up at 2am when you go to bed at 8:30-9:30, especially at his age, nor is 'coming out of a REM cycle' which he wouldn't necessarily just be doing at 2am.

I would love to know what productive things he gets done between 2am and his 5:30am coffee/run...

All this mileage and so little [sleep] recovery means his brain doesn't get enough chance to release the chemicals for his muscles to heal. I can't find the old Nick Willis tweet, but he's been quoted before as saying 'the most neglected part of any athlete's training is the recovery' (referring to him taking every Monday off). I just don't see how Seth doesn't see it.

Now we got all the medical experts coming out… it’s funny everyone thinks they know better. How successful is your YouTube channel?

What a strange take. Let me get this straight, there may be actual doctors, psychologists, coaches, people who struggled with overtraining, and the like on this board that recognize issues, but you think that their opinions are moot unless they have big social media followings?

I am a subscriber. I like the guy but worry about his well being. He looks on verge of a nervous breakdown or anxiety attack. I think he would be happier with stability in life.

Seth's flock, er, viewership, steers his content. The sort of people who hang on his every word, and enjoy the views, don't care about your bullet points. He's got his niche, and some talent, but underperforms because of his inability to train correctly.

He is leaving a lot of fitness improvements on the table by not sleeping enough. You improve when you recover from a workout. Sleep is a crucial part of recovery.

156k subs is small for a youtube channel. sure, for a running channel its a decent amount, but lets not pretend this guy is a household name to anyone outside of his target audience (which i wont get into).

If that is true tho its amazing he hasnt been injured in a few years, but could explain his tendency to underperform in races in addition to his questionable training.

hes the evangelical pastor of the running community. some of his training principles are downright false and his life seems almost entirely fabricated outside of his ridiculous training.

Admittedly a long-time sub and occasional viewer of his. It's concerning to go back to his old videos to his more recent ones and see the decline in quality both in terms of running and product.

He's withering away. 5 kids, expensive area, this ungodly pressure to hit an OTQ (for whatever reason). He doesn't eat enough- and don't come at me for claiming this, the guy is SMALL, even for a short distance runner.

I hope he comes around. A family unit like his needs a central figure and he cannot provide that with his obsessive tendencies at the moment. Time to stop waking up at 4:30 to 'bop' 17 miles at 9 minute pace. Be there for your kids

Filming himself stretching / posing in a Sauna today. Someone sitting right there chilling getting their sweat on,face fully visable on camera looking very uncomfortable. Absolute invasion of privacy with no fks given. Needs to get a grip with this constant camera everywhere.

Sauna dude had that look like, "Who is this guy bending over and rubbing his legs? Is he trying to hit on me? What's with the f**king camera? I should leave."

Lol... he won Pikes Peak, Dipsh*t. Cry harder, Small Man.

Against what notable opposition?

This is just sad. He won twice, in a time that is well within the averages of past winners. Imagine hating a guy so much for no reason that you try to dismiss two Golden Trail wins. Like a pathetic idiot. Congrats.

You all clearly don't have children.

Your “job” clearly isn’t running. He would be better off running less and sleeping more.

Brigid, his wife, is the "central figure". She carries that family. Seth is basically another child for her to look after. He squirrels away in his chaotic basement while she does everything else.

You are being misleading. He won twice against literally nobody. It was not part of the global series also. Just National. Easy to run fast on one of the best weather days in history with no fear of anyone being able to catch you. In a competitive field, he runs fast but loses. Look at his past performances against opposition at Pikes. Joe gray and touru of Japan have demolished him and they are sea level born athletes! Get over it, seth isn't that good when it counts. Look at his finishes at major Championships and top marathons. He is literally always underperforming. He really should just be there more for the kids and fam, running isn't something he will ever be world class. Considering all the time he puts into it, he is wasting life. No hate just some clearing up with facts

Hating? Pathetic idiot?

LOL

Funny how you didn't answer my simple question.
