Impressive.
He's now become the #1 followed runner on Strava currently in terms of Kudos per activity, hitting over 4000 regularly. He's right up there with Walmsley. His attitude is contagious. Going to be an interesting journey what he does next.
Time predictions for his Marathon time trial in 3 weeks?
But it was a net downhill. Not taking away from his running ability at all but a bit surprised he decided to cop out with a course like that. Shouldn’t a TT be on something relatively flat or rolling?
Cmon Seth gotta get faster!!
And it was mostly downhill
Nice job Seth. Probably hard to find a course that has no interruptions. 1:07 at elevation is impressive. I hope he saves some of that for next year racing season.
Alpha Fly is numero uno.
This guy is addicated to attention. So annoying. Besides that, 1:07 with that much net down for an altitude born athlete ain't special folks sorry. Notice he also stopped like 3 times during the run so clearly he was resting. False advertising as he didnt leave the clock running so clearly not a legit time trial
Not trying to bash this guy, but I guess I find the whole "social influencer" thing difficult to understand. He's reasonably fast, but not even trials qualifying fast. What's the backstory that makes this person interesting or impressive to follow?
The guy who finished sixth at the trials is a full time medical student. It seems like there are so many more interesting stories out there.

His videos have pretty good production value and he has a good attitude. Some people like the "daily vlog" style. I could take it or leave it but I think he's one of the better running youtubers. He does decent shoe reviews too.
Maybe he subbed the downhill to compensate for the altitude (5500 ft.)?
Seems like you don’t live at altitude

The med student doesn't have a youtube channel. This is the way the world works.

I'm not annoyed by it, but he definitely comes off as desperate for attention and the resulting dopamine rush given his signal to noise ratio. Just not my style, I've seen a few videos and found nothing of ultimate value, not even a little entertaining to me. It would be really sad if the OP is not actually him posting anonymously, there's honestly nothing he does that someone who's not him (or his wife) should feel is worth highlighting here. He has his subscribers based on the merit of the appeal in his content, but maybe he hopes to further inflate those numbers beyond what "recommended videos" do. Either that or the OP is a hater trying to troll for criticism of this guy, which unfortunately is remarkable easy to do here.
His videos are fun, his positive outlook is really uplifting (especially during this tough time), and he's really knowledgeable about training and running. He seems like someone that would be very cool to go running with or just hang out with. I really like the shoe reviews.

Martin Hehir was on some running podcasts! Check them out, he has an amazing story!
I thought this guy lived in Denver, and Colorado was on a lockdown. Can anyone comment?
Like Oregon you can go outside as long as you respect the 6 ft rule. Every state is different.
Yesterday I saw tons of walkers, cyclists and runners out there.
He is a solid runner. Solid time trial for him.I believe he went out around 1:07 in his first marathon and suffered in the last 8 miles to around a 2:22-3 . I'll watch his videos sometimes and I enjoy his shoe reviews but just imagining the time he spends setting up cameras so you can watch him open the door to his house, get in his car, go into a coffee shop, etc... is too much for me, especially in every single video.
300' net drop on a smooth descent. Wasn't his split in Rotterdam about 1:07?
