Seth Demoor is BACK baby

I've watched some Seth videos but find that his shoe reviews aren't relatable to my experiences with the shoes I've owned and not helpful in deciding which shoes to try. I also find that he seems awfully ignorant of accumulated training and racing knowledge. Has he ever read some of the famous training tomes out there? It seems not, which is a shame for a guy who obviously has some talent, more than I have for sure. The runner who is always on the edge of injury, burned out, getting out of bed at crazy early times, that is the runner on the precipice of falling apart.

Last, Seth serves as a youtube cautionary tale IMO. YouTubers start out strong and accelerate as they gain viewers and (I assume) make money from their content, but they almost always peeter out over time because it's obvious that the effort and time involved in shooting and editing content is greater than the revenue/rewards available from YT clicks for the vast majority of posters. If Seth planned his adult life income/outflow on YT money he's going to regret it mightily. Guys like him should stay in the small house, keep expenses low, find other means of income.

Hi Seth, love the channel and your videos are an inspiration.

QOD: I'm kind of the "big deal" running guy at work (self anointed sure, but I was also a former walk on at Community College) and had been telling everyone in my office that I had entered a race and was planning on taking down a bunch of pros there. Training was going great. BIG mileage weeks averaging around 9 minute pace, really building that base. Some people (i.e. Gary from accounts - I went deep on his Strava. Dude pr's than me at EVERY distance [he never mentions it either which is a bit strange - why keep that quiet Gary? Why not mention you ran D1 XC? Very weird (shady even?) but anyway, I think he was only able to do that because he has pretty thick/muscular looking legs and from a deep dive into his FB, apparently he grew up on a farm and had chickens growing up so I assume he had a steady flow of "good" eggs]), so yeah, Gary off handedly told me that I'd be better cutting the mileage down, resting more and adding some speed-work (probably because I've fallen asleep numerous times in meetings and have received an official warning about from HR). Anyway Gary is an idiot, I'm not listening to him... where was I..?

Oh yeah, QOD, c'mon now! So I'm deep in my training block (as charted out on some cardboard just like you Seth), and decide to fly to Romania for a (swear I didn't know at the time but it was a charity walk) 5K in Bucharest. Looked like a really fast course and I like to seek out the best competition around and we know the Romanian's bring it! Anyway went over there hoping to take it out and nail a sub 15 5K. Had some issues though, not going to lie. I'm honest Seth! Ended up I just missed it though but hit a PR of 21:05. Happy with that though! A PR is a PR right? RIGHT? I do think I need to work on the lactic acid. Oh, and my stomach. I downed 3 GU tutti frutti gels beforehand and they did. Not. Sit. Right. Maybe the huge bowl of beef goulash I had for breakfast didn't help either, I don't know because I've never eaten it before. Something wasn't right but would I do it again? You betcha! That lactate though, oof, that was something else. Really seems to kick in around the 11 minute mark. Yeah, 11 mins in I was definitely feeling the, you know, like I was lactating heavily. Interesting.

Anyway, I had 4 connecting flights home through eastern Europe (shout out to all the DGR fam in former Soviet block!) Finally get home and ooh boy. I felt it. There it was. Big old hammy twinge. I recall it vividly, I'd been sitting for a good 30 minutes, an hour maybe, and my butt felt a bit sore. I got home three days later and hopped straight onto google and from the sounds of it, quick search... I've torn the hamstring off the bone on the flight somewhere over Albania. Don't need to go to the doctor to confirm that. No sir. When you know you know. Off the bone! C'mon! Need to get some K tape now to put on my ankle, should fix it up but that race I mentioned way back at the start, it's off. Will really hurt to tell everyone at work (except Gary, to heck with that guy), and I can see how disappointed they're gonna be, but as you say, onwards and upward. Still running every day though. Got to keep turning that door knob. Today I did 26 miles at a solid 12:30 clip with a torn hamstring. That hard is what makes it great.... Pure butter baby....

Dang! You are soooooooo inspiring and I bet that you have a beautiful family. I will keep all of you in my prayers. A word of advice, if I may? Spend more time just being on top of a high mountain. It doesn't need to be Everest or K2, c'mon now! Just chill, do some crunches, scroll through your phone. No biggie. You can recruit a lot of red blood cells just by doing this. Upward and onward! LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!

hold your horses... two videos in a day! the man can't kick the habit and will continue to say anything.

I think we're only a few short mental steps away from Seth just saying sounds that are no longer words

Pure unadulterated sponsored content DGR! Cmon now!

You know I can't leave you hanging like that, DEE-GEE-ARR fam-uh-lee! Come on now, come on now... Aw, man. Usually, alright, hopefully, I don't, you know, ah... usually I don't do two videos in a day, but uh... you know, here I am in the shoedio, shoe, shoedio again because I love ya, DEE-GEE-ARR. Ok? I love ya. I got a lotta time to think, to think you know, today, up there on the top of Grey's today, I'm not the scientist, but you know, I feel like, I feel like that's giving me a biiiiiig boost in those red blood cells. C'mon now. But while I was up there, I started discerning I needed to give you all what you came for. So here we are, another video. That KT Tape sure is stretching my skin, man oh man oh man. Tinkering and figuring it all out DEE-GEE-ARR. The mad scientist, at work, ok? I'll link to that KT Tape down below. It's been, for me, so far, really good. Hit that link down below right there, right there, right there. Alright. Seek distance from your family, work sometimes, and love that ad money. See ya tomorrow.

Now KT Tape is making him faster. You believe this guy? Disappointed is an understatement.

The uprising has begun!

These threads are really just poking fun at the dude because he’s an easy mark, but good lord, the K-Tape vid maybe his jumping the shark moment. Doing that with a straight face, snake oiling the DGR fam..? Damn dude…

The poking fun at him started because of his lies to his fan base. The lies about how to train, nutrition, why he bonked at NYC, his “injuries”, red blood cell recruitment, the breaking of drone laws, eggs, and now how tape makes you faster.

A good person wouldn’t push lies onto a group of 10,000 plus people daily

SJD: I'm taking a sabbatical from quality vlog posting.

Also SJD: posts two vlogs in one day.

I mean one was nothing but a few running clips hacked together and the second was an ad, so he's not exactly lying lmao. The impressive thing is that a reduction in quality was even possible, but Seth never disappoints.

SABBATHical. Total phoney BS. Two vlogs in a day. Slinging fresh air sellotape elixer to his followers. What's next? Seth's blessing of the day.....?

Eddbud shoe reviews are very informative and entertaining !!

Comment above highlighted comment is pretty funny too.

He can' t delete them all:)

Saying his daily runs are faster because of KT Tape is even lower than I thought he’d be willing to go! Incredible.

Devout catholic. SNM.
