Seth and DGR family: I dropped out of Pikes Peak Marathon. I qualified for Wave 1 and dropped, as I should've. I've been struggling with my mental health lately and I'm checking myself into somewhere that can help on Monday. I'm sad, I'm scared, I'm nervous, but I know this is the right move!

Best of luck to you, Chad. Running will always be here. I went to treatment for an eating disorder in 2019 and I came out happier and healthier than ever and my running really benefited. You’ve got DGR cheering for you!

yes Gavin!

14 mile long run with a 10 mile progression from 6:45/mi down to 5:45/mi in the Asics Novablast. Beautiful running weather and a scenic run along the NH coastline. :)

did a 5k race. Previous PB 21:31. Went out a bit fast, first km in 4:02. Then stopped checking my watch and tucked in with a group and we just pushed on. Ended up finishing in 21:09 for a nice PB.

Good morning, DGR!

Hoping to get my hands on a pair of these! My first ever running shoes were sketchers, I have no idea what model as I picked them up from TK Maxx to get into running, but did everything in them including a whole training block and my first half marathon, park runs and club runs and even some light trails! Now I have a pair of shoes for every occasion so seems a strange concept.

:QOD:I’m 11yrs my runs are usually between 1 and 1.5 miles. Your videos are very entertaining and make me want to go one a run. You just make running fun, thanks for that.

Good morning DGR Family!!! Happy Sunday!!!!

Very cool! Seems like a great shoe.

: Good to get back to running 5k Parkruns again. Took a break to tend to a sore shoulder for a month, but good to know that I didn't drop my time by too much.

First 10+ mi. long run since injuring my back two separate times in June! Felt confident and comfortable in the original Novablasts, considering an upgrade to the 2’s as my originals near 400 miles and marathon training starts ramping up!

My main shoes had to be retired earlier than anticipated two weeks ago which led to tired legs and a minor ankle sprain. Yesterday was the first long run in a new pair of Mizunos and my pace was instantly back to where it was in May. Listen to your legs and be ready to swap in a different pair of shoes if something doesn't feel right. Good luck with the house hunt!

QD: Easing back from injury so instead of a long run today I did 10miles on the bike followed by 3mile run to replicate some long run fatigue without smashing my leg up! Also did a beach clean with the running club this AM, it’s great to get out and clean the beaches that we enjoy so much when coastal running!

Gonna get this shoes when available

QD: first time hit 30k on a long run. Started easy(4.50 min/km) because I didn't know how it would have been, but towards the end I picked up the pace nice and easy(4.27 min/km) and finished like I was able to go further. I hit those 100k per week finally 💪

QD: ran the Catoctin 50K in Northern Maryland, a 34 mile course with ~5500 feet of gain and ALL the rocks. Didn't have a great day performance-wise, but I beat my goal of finishing under 6 hours (watch time was 5:59, race time was 5:56) and in 12th overall. I ran a 19 hour 100 miler 6 weeks ago that left me with some achilles issues that didn't allow me to do much climb training lately, so I blame my relative lack of performance on that 😆

I would love to go to Colorado- the mountains look soo pretty. Keep up the good work Seth. Send our love to True love too please ❤️ sending love from your Irish running friends 🇮🇪

Late but oh well 😂 Long run was 9 miles this past wknd, did it all on gravel roads. Felt GREAT, no pain in my IT band/ knee at all, and posted (slightly) faster splits than I was anticipating. Good stuff! Onward and upward!

Another great vlog and I’m not even that interested in Sketchers 🤣 Hope the house hunt is going well, it can be so discouraging…..I was without a house in Nov 2020 bc we sold ours so fast and then couldn’t get an offer to stick on the next. But you’ll figure it out!

Hi Seth, which shoe could you suggest for a 220lbs guy who isnt running but fast walks? I like it soft, just not too soft. At the moment I use the hookah cliffton 7. For me the heal is too soft, I almost feel the road in this show and the mid-foot is a bit too tough or too much. Could you based on those infos give a suggestion? thanks

I did an easy 6k long run one week out from my first in-person trail race (13k) since Oct. 2019. Can't wait to run it next Saturday with my younger sister!

The mad scientist is back

You need a Dremel or similar and a set of extra attachments. They will be much easier to use, although clearly much noisier.

QOD: PR Bell 🔔 ringing over here on my 10km race, 40:26 a PB by over 6 minutes, a bit gutted I didn't get under the 40 minute mark, but still happy with it considering I spent 2 months out Injured this year too. Next step is focus on my 5km to try get a fast one in before I have to think about my HM and 10 milers.

QD: did my first 2 hour long run today and felt great getting stronger everyday 💪and in the words of Seth: "upwards and onwards" and also "just keep running" .

Nice review....underrated shoe brand. Accelerator Clause if your family finds your dream home. Good Luck!

QD: did my first 10km for years. Normally just running 5-7km but trying to push up lengths. Running in Clifton 7..

QD: Unfortunately a DNF for me on this weekend's trail race on Lastovo island, Croatia due to the twisted ankle. Onward and upward!!!

QD: I ran 10 miles yesterday! Longest I've ran since getting back into running!

QD: 21 miles hill hunting today here in the dreary, not so summery, Black Down Hills (Devon, UK). Rounding off a 95 mile week, 10 weeks out from my goal race for the year!

QOD... Was an accident long run, I just moved house and took a wrong turn, realising after only a few hundred metres I decided to just keep going, guessing an alternate route, I then decided to add even more on once I knew where I was ending what should have been 5 or 6kms with a total of 16.9kms... And I didn't finish until 8:30pm... On top of that I'm running every day this month to 1) keep turning that doorknob, 2) get ready for a marathon on the 31st of July and 3) learn my new neighbourhood.

You should make a Frankenstein shoe where you stitch/glue the upper of one shoe to the midsole of another

QD: took an off week after my first marathon last weekend. So I decided to jump in a hetathlon this weekend! I’m about to start day two and I am incredibly sore from yesterday 😂

QD: i cracked into the top 10 all time of a 4.2 mi strava segment during my trail run yesterday!

Question of the day for seth; bit late to this vid so hope you'll still see this: If you could manufacture your perfect shoe compiled of the shoes you've tested, how would it turn out? What upper, lacing, heel, mid sole etc.

Long run today was around by time instead of mi (7.6 mi in a 1:15 run) after hitting 12 mi last weekend in my marathon cycle, back to 12 next weekend, and onward and upward again for the next few weeks…14, 16….

Imagine someone walking in on Seth with a saw, cutting up a fairly new running shoe. I'm sure that explanation would be amazing.

I'm training to do a challenge next January of running 250 km in 24 hours in Oman 🇴🇲 I ran yesterday 50 km in 4:02 hours .. it's my best record so far but still there is a long way ahead of me to my goal 🔥 I'm inspired by you Seth and all the running community .. big love for you all❤

I was going to attempt a 1 mile time trial but given the wet traction in the Endorphin line I'm going to hold off until another day.

QD: Long run 32 days out from a local 30k race. Went 14.3 miles finishing the last 3 with hill repeats. Felt great. Feeling ready.

QD: 3hr long run went okay but the battle was the heat 🔥 planned for a 32k or 36k for the time, ended up with 30k, but time on feet was the target, Also had the Gopro out to film too so a bit of time lost there 😂 Great vlog, great to see inside those shoes, interesting!

QD: just tapering for tomorrow as signed up for senior athlete 800m track race, so far I'm youngest as 42yo and oldest to sign up is respectively 90years old ☺️

Seth, this is very cool. Would love to hear if you have any thoughts about recent comments on the shoe rating system.

You're probably getting better at shoe dissection over time...

Very nice 17k this sunday morning. Seth: What about that sleep challenge of yours, when do you get to bed, when starting at 4am in the morning?

I need to try that oatmeal. Seems you have stop eating BoBo bars in the morning

: I did a two-hour long run and set my watch to the clock face so I wouldn't be distracted by distance or pace. Just went by feel and ended up going 13.3 miles, which is steasy effort for me (9:01/mile).

Hey Seth. Ran a training run marathon...2.59……as the DGR family grows Seth you will have to rename the group DGR Stronger and then DGR strongest😊😄

Oh My My it is happening , let’s see that H plate 👀

Got kicked out of Disney World very early this morning for trying to do my long run doing laps in the Hollywood Studios parking lot....not so the happiest place on earth!

Oh noooo, you committed running shoe homicide!! Haha! I so wish Skechers would get shelf space at the legit running shoe stores. I'm glad Skechers is doing better with the uppers and breathability. The Max Road 4 was too hot to run in, especially for summer and it ended up I gave it to my local thrift store. I love my Razor 3+'s though! QD: I just started running 5 months ago. I set a PR in a 5K last weekend of 27:43 or 8:55 per mile which was quite good for me since I was training at 11 to 12min/mi. I am 64 and won the 60 to 64 age division. There were only 3 in the division (giggle).

Those views!!! One word, WOW!!!!!!!!!

Hey Seth, it’s Tim from Pennsylvania. When we run our thoughts tend to run as well and can have an impact on the running. With all of your increased mileage and training lately and all you have going on outside of running with the move, etc. how do you continue to focus and keep a clear mind while running?

That H-Plate doesn't seem so crucial. Marketing ploy?

the skwchwers models so sucks

who even dislike this video man??

Boooo... I hate when you destroy a shoe. It's pointless. So wasteful. Every shoe has an outsole, midsole and an upper. There's no reason to destroy good running shoe. Please. Please. Please. Stop. You should donate at least one pair if you destroy a pair.

Literally. No idea what he’s saying. How does heavier weight = higher build quality? A lighter shoe would probably be easier to take apart but that’s because the upper is lighter and thinner, not bad build quality
