QD: I've done some Strava segment hunting on my local trails, not really FKT work, but fun to see how I stack up against other locals. Managed to get 3 crowns in one run back in March, which is still the only time I've ever done that 😆
Dude, a lot of people won’t appreciate what went in to the first minute or so of that video but from one runner/RUclipsr to another I’m just dropping HUGE props for the work that went in to that. Spectacular stuff 🤟🏼 keep doing what you’re doing 😊
QD: I took an FKT on a local trail back in January, my first ever, then as all records do, it fell to the hands of a fellow runner! We will have to get back out there and attempt some more this Summer! Best of luck with your FKT and mountain speed work ⛰
When Seth is growling on the trails, that means business!!🤣 Congrats! QD: i start seeing the payoff of three years of consistent running and was able to snag a couple Strava segments last week. That was a first! Getting older and stronger
Slow start to day and needed som motivation! just seen the recap of the golden trail series and now seth just dropped this, so now i am warming up for my 18km trail run. thanks
QD: I've only snagged some incidental-peak crowns in the local hills here around Züri (Käferberg), but there's something hauntingly contenting about 35-yr old new dad "borrowing" crowns from young & invincible 20-year olds.. That said, perhaps bears mentioning Seth that you "borrowed" an FKT, because someone will surely come behind and take it back🤙👍. Killer 1st-person views today, gnarly get! Congrats and greets from Züri🇨🇭! DGR STRONG 💪.
Congratulations! I really enjoy your commitment and your enthusiasm. You are a wonderful representative for the sport. Thanks for taking us along for the journey.
First of all - congrats Seth!! Definitely well deserved honestly I don't know that I've ever even gone after any "FKT"s; there are some local Strava segments that I keep an eye on, although I'm pretty sure I'm not in the top spot on any of them. There are a lot of pretty speedy runners in my city, especially in my age range, so it's tough. HOWEVER, what I will definitely add to is a VERY big AMEN for "older and faster" - I'm in exactly that same position right now. I've been running for 7 years... back in 2019 I made quite a bit of progress, but 2021 is blowing even that AWAY, by far! 42 years old (soon to be 43, just 10 days) and I am *hands down* the fastest & in the best physical shape of my life. It's an AMAZING feeling!!
Awesome job on the FKT! I put your area in my weather app so I could see What’s going on weather wise in CO. I only check it once in a while to get an idea what it’s like in the places I’d love to run and visit someday... I believe I saw temps in low 90’s yesterday... that alone would have me getting the FKT to Andy’s!
So I've seen you have the Bobo cakes a lot - never actually saw them at a store until last night.. Saw them at Harris Teeter (North Carolina grocery chain)... grabbed a couple as today was going to be an early swim into run so needed something light to go with my coffee.. They are AMAZING! Definitely a perfect coffee pairing.
I have not tried one in 4 years that I have lived in Colorado, but getting closer. I had a few KOMs back when I lived in Florida great video and run, your time was insane... hopefully I get a clip of you at the Pikes Peak marathon, I wont be racing it but will be watching
Great job on the FKT! I think the improvement in the downhill is as important, if not more important than the ascent as you prepare for Pike's Peak. Gooooo Seth!
Great effort Seth. No FKT's for me sadly. I realize I do not have the speed for that. My focus is FMT's (Fastest Me times). I take mountain runs I know my time on and see if I can beat it. I set one last summer on an 8km trail (4km in and 4km out) with 2400 feet of climbing at 1 hour 30 minutes at the age of 50. I did it last weekend in 1 hour and 38 minutes for my second time up it this year. I turn 51 today and already have that 1 hour and 30 minute target in my sights. If the smoke dissipates, that FMT is going down! Keep up the great inspiration Seth.
I've been battling a guy in my neighborhood for a 1.5km stretch of road for the last year. We've only met eachother once....but we kow we are both competing for 'Cork avenue'it's been an on and off silent battle. It's like our own mini Olympics that just keeps on going
QD: I took the FKT on my local-est route in November, back when we were under "Stay Local" rules in the UK and I couldn't go race further afield. Thanks to this video, I just checked the FKT website and somebody buttered their bread and bettered my time a couple of weeks ago! Best go grab it back now the ground isn't a mudbath :)
Tried to take your Bierstadt ascent FKT a couple weeks ago. Came up a few minutes short but got the fastest of 2021 (until you just broke it in this video 🙃)
Congratulations on your updated FKT! Seth, knowing that western trail running is much different than eastern trail running, I have a proposition for you. I would like to see you run an east coast trail race so you could compare and contrast the terrain, heat and humidity as well as how you would train differently based on location. Distance would be totally your option. Thanks, Mark
snagged and fkt on a 240 mile trail September 2020 (since been beat of course 😆) This year set fkt on a 50 mile trail. The fun thing was doing it unsupported, bushwhacking down to creek to get water and drinking through a filter straw. Most fun for 10 hours and 22 minutes ever 😂
QOD: Got a CR on Strava here in Boulder last week up this super unpopular route around the back of Flagstaff mtn. Only 30 people have run it since Strava was founded apparently. Still, I win 🤪
PRs can come at any age as long as you train consistently and depending on what your running history is. For example, if you were a high-level (elite or sub-elite)10km runner in your 20s and 30s, you are unlikely to set a PR in your 50s. I recently set a PR at 42 by more than 3min in a HM TT. My previous PR was in a race 5 years ago. Well done on your FKT!
QD: Would you say that FKT is a segment crown? I moved to Puchong, Malaysia in Feb of this year and I have snagged all the running FKT's that are not manipulated by the cyclists! Dominating the local scene. I like competition but there isn't any in Malaysia right now-so I have to challenge myself.
Congratulations Seth! Curious, You seem very relaxed (excited, but calm) in the car just before your FKT attempt. How do nerves affect you (if at all) for an attempt like this compared to a race day?
And don’t forget Jurek also won a Hardrock 100 along with two Badwater Ultras. He also set a US 24 hour record with 165 miles before I believe it was broken years later. Quite a resume
I've got a couple segments in my city of Watertown Wisconsin, but haven't gotten after getting them in a while. Will probably try and snag a couple this summer though.
QD: achieved four KOMs on my bike so far in 2021 following my hip replacement…..always nice to send notifications out that a 65 year old snagged your KOM:-)
Hey seth can we get your strengthening routine video in the gym and what you do on certain days. I’ve been adding strengthening to my summer training and interested on your take on this????
Hi all! I was set to run my first marathon in October (11 weeks), but unfortunately caught covid 7 days ago, should i refer to next years race in April or wait until I have recovered enough to star training again & still go for this years race? Appreciate any advice thank you :)
I’m not a doctor and COVID is affecting people differently. Take it very easy and listen to your body. That being said, I wouldn’t give up the idea for marathon in October, there is still quite a bit of time to lay a foundation. You might have to change your expectations from time based to just finishing. I’d consult your doctor to make sure your good with resuming physical activities after you recover from covid. Good luck!
Oh come on Seth, when you gonna FKT the Bierstadt, Sawtooth, and Evans gully route?? :-) Just make sure to bring your hip wader for the return trip through the willows.
I always love breaking an old fkt. I’ve done this rocky 7.4 mile segment like 70 times in the past 4 years and broken my fkt quiet a bit. I know the trail like the back of my hand. Now I’ve done it so well I don’t know if I can break it again. I’ll keep trying. I would love to see how fast Seth could run the segment just to see how close or far away I am from him.
QD: No FKT's, that's out of my league. I did get a KOM on a Strava segment this year. I was quite happy... For a week. That's when a friend dethroned me. So, for the next FKT attempt you've got to try the Pulsars for comparison. 😉 Btw: what's up with the Petzl in the house? Is that for camera effect or is it to not wake up the kids?
No and no. I am heading to Manitou thos weekend though Seth! I will be running the Colorado Springs Classic 10k and then a FULL COURSE PIKES PEAK MARATHON training run! Hey! Mabey I can PR! We will see!
Anyone else here not had luck with any carbon-plated shoes and/or rocker-geometry shoes? In the past I tried the CarbonX, Hyperion Elite2 and just took out the mango Next% yesterday on a 14 miler (6 mi initial test after buying them last yr was ok) and had an aching top of the foot behind the big-toe metatarsal. I’m training for Boston in Oct. & was saving the shoe but needed a long test. I’m wondering if for some of our gaits the rocker design/carbon plate (no flex) doesn’t agree with our mechanics. I def need something with more cushion than my single marathon (before all the super shoes; wore the Launch6). Welcome any feedback, please! Including @Seth James DeMoor! Thanks, Martha PS Next two LR’s will try the Endo Speed (I like them but never did 14+ in them) and new untested Brooks Aurora BL. Both could be contenders.
Flip belt works great. Get a size smaller than you think because it does stretch out slightly. No complaints here. Use it when I don’t want to bring a vest.
I attempted an FKT knowing I would not get it just because a Quandary peak has a ridiculous time up and down, but I just wanted to see what I was capable of
no fkt's, but I did snag a 10 mile strava crown in the twin cities so I'll take it since there are some much faster runners than me that often run in the same area. Side note: I spy some Speed Freek's!
Does it count as an FKT if I am the only one know the route that I made up where no one else will have a chance to even try. Lol As a bigger runner the thing I need to do and remember is to add all the little things ontop of just running. The strides and stuff.
no proper FKTs. Had my eye on one locally that was beatable but someone then set a great time on it. I have a few strava segment CRs but that's often because I sprint it and beat someone who did it as part of their long run by one second...
QD: I have not attempted nor have I snagged any FKTs this year. I’m not even sure where to find them in my neck of the woods here in central New York State.
When you see Seth with the x talon 210’s on, get out of the way!!
Seth: Smashes an FKT and then does drills and weight training
Me: Sips a cappuccino
The main thing is consistency :)
Yeah idk how he does it. Seth is the GOAT.
😂😂😂🤣🤣 me tooooo💪💪
QD: I've done some Strava segment hunting on my local trails, not really FKT work, but fun to see how I stack up against other locals. Managed to get 3 crowns in one run back in March, which is still the only time I've ever done that 😆
Dude, a lot of people won’t appreciate what went in to the first minute or so of that video but from one runner/RUclipsr to another I’m just dropping HUGE props for the work that went in to that. Spectacular stuff 🤟🏼 keep doing what you’re doing 😊
When the blue soccer cleats come out, it means business!
🤣
QD: I took an FKT on a local trail back in January, my first ever, then as all records do, it fell to the hands of a fellow runner! We will have to get back out there and attempt some more this Summer! Best of luck with your FKT and mountain speed work ⛰
When Seth is growling on the trails, that means business!!🤣 Congrats! QD: i start seeing the payoff of three years of consistent running and was able to snag a couple Strava segments last week. That was a first! Getting older and stronger
Only in my neighborhood where I’ve created segments 😂
How do you create segments?
Slow start to day and needed som motivation! just seen the recap of the golden trail series and now seth just dropped this, so now i am warming up for my 18km trail run. thanks
QD: I'll get an FKT once exoskeletons are commercially available
QD: I've only snagged some incidental-peak crowns in the local hills here around Züri (Käferberg), but there's something hauntingly contenting about 35-yr old new dad "borrowing" crowns from young & invincible 20-year olds.. That said, perhaps bears mentioning Seth that you "borrowed" an FKT, because someone will surely come behind and take it back🤙👍. Killer 1st-person views today, gnarly get! Congrats and greets from Züri🇨🇭! DGR STRONG 💪.
Congratulations! I really enjoy your commitment and your enthusiasm. You are a wonderful representative for the sport. Thanks for taking us along for the journey.
Congrats, always good to know you are a little better than you were before.
First of all - congrats Seth!! Definitely well deserved
honestly I don't know that I've ever even gone after any "FKT"s; there are some local Strava segments that I keep an eye on, although I'm pretty sure I'm not in the top spot on any of them. There are a lot of pretty speedy runners in my city, especially in my age range, so it's tough.
HOWEVER, what I will definitely add to is a VERY big AMEN for "older and faster" - I'm in exactly that same position right now. I've been running for 7 years... back in 2019 I made quite a bit of progress, but 2021 is blowing even that AWAY, by far! 42 years old (soon to be 43, just 10 days) and I am *hands down* the fastest & in the best physical shape of my life.

FKT crushed!! But seeing the kiddos celebrate after - omgoodness that is GOLD!
So I've seen you have the Bobo cakes a lot - never actually saw them at a store until last night.. Saw them at Harris Teeter (North Carolina grocery chain)... grabbed a couple as today was going to be an early swim into run so needed something light to go with my coffee.. They are AMAZING!

He currently has the 'FKT' 😉my turn to win it back
Seth I have (4) boys as well and there is nothing like celebrating with the squad!!!! Nice job brother!!!!
Have not been more motivated to hit the trails! Thanks for an amazing video Seth!
You are in a really great position to defend your PP title!

:goo: Get it done, Seth! Well done, the engine is in a very high state of tune due to you hard work and discipline.
Oh my! How do you even wake up from bed after such a day 😃 Amazing, amazing!
I've definitely said F**K *T to running a couple times. Then you get a good night's sleep and hit the pavement once again.
Eyyy ooooh Andy's 🍦 time can't beat a vlog with Andy's in it well done.

Thanks for DGR for all the support, keep turning that door 🚪 knob, it will pay off for you!
4.99 4.99 charging people. What a user. Just wait till that subpoena goes out
With all the work you put in, I don't think you can call it "stealing"! Good job Seth!
Congratulations 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🥳🥳🥳
Love that smooth background music 🎵
The GoPro and the drone shots.❤
QOD: Got a CR on Strava here in Boulder last week up this super unpopular route around the back of Flagstaff mtn. Only 30 people have run it since Strava was founded apparently. Still, I win 🤪
Looking fast and strong 💪

My previous PR was in a race 5 years ago. Well done on your FKT!
Watching Seth hit the weights makes me wanna start lifting.💪🏋♂️
… I have THREE 2nd places on Strava CR segments (mostly hill sprints) 🤦🏻♂️ but none were 100% all out so I’m coming for them!
This man is on a mission.... to butter my bread
QD: Would you say that FKT is a segment crown? I moved to Puchong, Malaysia in Feb of this year and I have snagged all the running FKT's that are not manipulated by the cyclists! Dominating the local scene. I like competition but there isn't any in Malaysia right now-so I have to challenge myself.
Congratulations Seth! Curious, You seem very relaxed (excited, but calm) in the car just before your FKT attempt. How do nerves affect you (if at all) for an attempt like this compared to a race day?
Great job Seth, no FKT for me training for my first half marathon tho in September!
Speed Freeks! Seth, were you able to get your regular size 7.5? I was curious because Running Warehouse shows they will start at size 8 :(
And don’t forget Jurek also won a Hardrock 100 along with two Badwater Ultras. He also set a US 24 hour record with 165 miles before I believe it was broken years later. Quite a resume
Congrats Seth, keep going :D
The infamous green cap!
I need to attempt an FKT !
Keep on Keppin On Seth
Would love to be able to wear a DGR racing singlet for my first marathon at the end of October....is it still coming?
Great running today Seth any chance you use the Salomon pulsar for your next fkt I think it might top your inov 8
Mountain vlogs are the best vlogs!!
QD: Never attempted an FKT but I’ve got my eye on one or two. Just for kicks
I've got a couple segments in my city of Watertown Wisconsin, but haven't gotten after getting them in a while. Will probably try and snag a couple this summer though.

Hey seth can we get your strengthening routine video in the gym and what you do on certain days. I’ve been adding strengthening to my summer training and interested on your take on this????
Did you get yourself some Andy’s for that FKT or is that not in your training diet? You rocked it out there!
I captured one FKT in my hometown last year on a hilly course (at least by Midwest standards!)
QOD: I attempted to retake my FKT on Mt. Palomar in San Diego and I was 1 min 40 off the guy who took my time. Still a PR though
: Closer to a SKT than a FKT.
Hi all! I was set to run my first marathon in October (11 weeks), but unfortunately caught covid 7 days ago, should i refer to next years race in April or wait until I have recovered enough to star training again & still go for this years race? Appreciate any advice thank you :)

Hey Seth, what are your thoughts on the asics Metaspeed sky vs the edge?
He hasn’t received the edge yet
A video of your pre run Routine and after run would be nice
Dumb question. Is average 176 cadence good/bad ??
QD . Yes a trail marathon in a National Park in Canada and hell no I was an hour over, first year trail running but I will get it
No and no. I am heading to Manitou thos weekend though Seth! I will be running the Colorado Springs Classic 10k and then a FULL COURSE PIKES PEAK MARATHON training run! Hey! Mabey I can PR! We will see!

What is the difference between fastest known time and king of the mountain? Wouldn't they by default be the same thing?
Yes 👍🏻
@@LETSTALKENTERTAINMENT if it's not on Stravait didn't happen :). All the cool kids use Strava :).
Hey Seth did you know that innov8 has a V2 of the 210 Talons now
Does anybody in the comments recommend the Flipbelt and if people having them what is your complaint with it?
Flip belt works great. Get a size smaller than you think because it does stretch out slightly. No complaints here. Use it when I don’t want to bring a vest.
Freaking awesome. The music in the beginning reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite
Tim Twietmeyer!!!

Yeah I like seeing how close or far away from the top guys I am.
@@theslightlyrecklesstrailru1546 quandary peak was definitely not an easy run and it blows my mind how fast people can get up and down these mountains
It irritates me so so much when he drives with the head lamp on 😂😖
Same here. It's so unsafe.
In Malaysia, we run in ~ 30°C all year long...
Best I can do is local legend on Strava. Creatures of habit unite! 😅
Is a FKT the same as a KOM on strava?
no fkt's, but I did snag a 10 mile strava crown in the twin cities so I'll take it since there are some much faster runners than me that often run in the same area. Side note: I spy some Speed Freek's!

Got an FKT this morning running to the bathroom.
Those kids have the FKT from their house to Andy's
QD: Took my first FKT on a 22 mile loop in Eastern Oklahoma on Independence Day weekend!
:goo:
I just go for Local Legend status- (see "runs back and forth")
Do Andys let you take your own containers?
Let me know if you need help with your squats I’m a powerlifter
Not a single Strava segment or FKT within 1 hour from where I live 🤷🏻♂️.
You can create your own Strava segments and then you will definitely have the crown 👑
I now want to give Bierstadt a go, I can't take it from you but maybe 50 minutes to top
no proper FKTs. Had my eye on one locally that was beatable but someone then set a great time on it.
