He is annoying and seems very fake enthusiastic.
He treats his wife like crap by constantly interrupting her and cutting her off.
He appears to be quite aloof and superficial with his kids.
He is very self-centered and borderline narcissistic. Everything has to be about Seth and all family decisions must cater to his whims.
He is woefully ignorant about how training works. He knows the lingo but clearly does not understand the underlying science. Of course, he thinks that he can coach simply because he is faster than 99% of all runners.
His house is a mess. Instead of spending time setting up the old GoPro in cabinets and the microwave, how about wiping down the countertop and the dinner table to help out your wife? She is doing more than enough raising a man child, four boys and your soon to arrive daughter.
He is oblivious to others around him. That sauna video was cringe and all gyms have rules against using cameras in locker rooms, saunas, and steam rooms. This is creep behavior.
He does awful shoe reviews. His critiques are super subjective and based on what works for him: 5’ 6”, 120 pounds, size 7 foot. God forbid a shoe weighs more than 8 oz. or is firm because that makes it total garbage. Are you a SJD Global Running fan with some extra pounds or a history of injuries? He doesn’t care! Buy this shoe because Seth likes it for Seth.
He constantly dithers on his goals, changes his training plans frequently without cause or logic, name drops Wetmore but then never follows anything resembling a Wetmore plan.
He is playing you all for suckers! By all means, pay good money for silly emojis, for him to read your name on a live chat, for access to his special Discord, or in hopes that your answer to QOTD is the one he likes. Maybe you can be amongst the first to shell out $119/month to be online coached by The Mad Scientist?
This is why we really don’t like Seth.
