 Yes, City on a Hill coffee, delicious. I got my muffin, got my coffee, getting going this morning, and that was amazing to see. What did I say in yesterday's vlog about how Leadville, you know, was very famously known as a mining town, but in its own little way, it's becoming a center for running and trail running and long distance running. And so that book in there, I didn't buy a copy yet. I'm gonna do a little more research on it, but that was pretty neat. What was it called, running in Leadville or runs from Leadville? So I think I'm gonna have to invest in a copy to basically do my research cause I have a feeling moving forward this is slowly gonna be like, actually here we go. Here's the headquarters. This is the headquarters for the Leadville race series. So it's just cool to see like running, trail running, ultra running take root in a high altitude city in Colorado. All right, getting going here. Good evening everybody. Oh my goodness, what a day. I probably look very tired. It's because my, I am, my eyes are like just being out in the sun all day. It just was a big, big day. Look at all that, look at all that sweat. There it is. Oh my goodness. It was a big day of running. And yes, I took out the Soccany Mad River TRs which puts us over 50 miles for these shoes. So full review coming very soon for those. And it took all my willpower everyone not to film today. And the reason I did not film, except for that clip at the beginning in Leadville, now I'm back obviously at my house is because I wanna dive into today's topic as quick as possible, which is all about teaching all of you how to get more value out of this YouTube channel. At least that's the hope and the goal. So I did not film today. It was very difficult to just set the camera down and let it, let it be. So here we go. Let me just pull up a couple things here. So this vlog is, why am I doing this vlog today? It's the questions and I'm struggling. I'm always struggling to find more time in the day but the questions are piling up more and more every day all over social media and especially in email. So I'm hoping that by creating this blog it helps alleviate some of those questions because I wanna bring as much value as possible for all of you. But I just don't, my fingers are not as fast as my legs I guess, I guess that's the bottom line. Like I can't type fast enough to answer all of your questions, especially when I'm typing out on my phone, on Instagram or Twitter or wherever the case may be. So for example, one of the questions that I get the most of is what socks am I wearing on my runs? And these are my stance socks and we're gonna dive into this in a minute. I'm gonna show you here on the computer how to best just some tips and tricks for how to best use this channel to your advantage so you can learn about all sorts of topics in the running world. So anyway, like this is one of the most, these are stance just so you know, they're down below, stance socks. They're one of my favorites from 2018. I don't know if they still have this color way available because I bought these last year, just so you know, in case you're looking for them. And through this tutorial, I'm gonna talk about the navigation on the channel, the organization of the channel, and then also the description down below every single blog. All right, let's break it down. Here's the channel. This is the homepage of the channel. How do you know it's the homepage? Because this says home right there. You can also see off to the right my phone there. I wanna show you mobile as well in a minute, but and if you click on this videos tab, this takes you to all the videos, but they're not categorized. It's just all the videos sorted by, I have it sorted by newest to oldest, but you can also sort it by most popular and then date added and then date and whether oldest or newest. I'm gonna talk about playlists in a minute, but I actually wanna focus right here on the search feature. You see it there? So let's say you're interested in, well, let's just take the topic of socks. That's right. I've talked about socks on this channel. So there it is. Running socks, do they even matter? Boom, or maybe you're interested in recovery. Oh man, we've talked about recovery quite a bit on this channel. Marathon and long run recovery. It's an art form. Three recovery tools for the runner in your life. Running recovery sandals. Oh boy. Or maybe you're interested in threshold training. Oh yeah, we got stuff for that too. There it is. How to run faster threshold training is key. So this search feature is so important for just knowing where it's at. Cause a lot of people don't even know that it's that little magnifying glass right below this main logo here, right? Below this main logo. There it is, threshold. So, but on mobile, unfortunately, they don't have a search feature built into the mobile function like that's focused just on the channel. Instead, it searches all of YouTube. So here's my trick, my tip of the day actually. Click on there. So you always wanna start with Seth D'Amour. No E at the end. That's critical. Seth D'Amour. And let's type in long run, all right? What have I said about long runs? I don't know. Let's find out. Oh, there it is. How to run faster, the long run. Let's X out of that. Seth D'Amour, Solomon. Oh, boom. Plenty of there. Look at all those videos about Solomon. So the key, the tip of the day, if you're searching on mobile, click on the top. Type in my name, Seth D'Amour, and then whatever you wanna focus on. Well, it's endless. I've covered a lot. I mean, I'm trying to think, you know what I'm gonna cover very soon? Is sleeping for runners. I haven't talked about that actually. Let me just see if anything pops up. I actually don't even remember. Avoiding sleepy legs in the taper, okay? A little bit there. But I've never talked just about like falling asleep at night, which I'm about to do, because it's been a big two days of training for me. Okay, so that was, I wanted to bring that up. And then one second real quick, just bring up a couple notes here. So organization, okay, here we go. This is critical. This is critical. Playlist. Now, I'm getting better. I must say, I haven't, I'm working on the playlist. But for example, Running Shoe Reviews. They're all right there under the playlist tab on mobile. Let me just go back here to my channel real quick. Hold on. One second, there we go. You click on Playlist right at the top and there is all the playlist. Or maybe you're interested in Nike Running Shoes. You click on the Nike Running Shoes and they're all listed over here. Look at all of those Nike Running Shoes. It's pretty, pretty great. Let me just skip this ad. So that's, this is the most recent Nike Running Shoe Blog, the Nike Zoomfly 3 Full Review. So I wanted to bring that up. Playlist is really, really important. Hold on, let me X out of that. Or this is one of my favorite playlists, How to Run Faster, down here in the lower right-hand corner. So that's important play, and I'm gonna do better. I must say, for example, I don't even have a playlist yet for Hoka Running Shoes exclusively. So I'm working on developing a playlist just for Hoka Running Shoes. Because I, you know, I'm starting to run in them a little bit more. Okay, and one more point real quick is the, real quick, hold on here. Let me just navigate back to home. Is the, oh, this gets me really excited, everyone. I'm about to, I'm about to throw down. Okay, so let me go back to, hold on. Let me go back to the homepage here. So here's the homepage. Let me click on today's blog. Let me X out of this. Let me click on today's blog, which published a little late today because the Wi-Fi at my motel in Leadville has really slow Wi-Fi. So I'm gonna have to find a different, a different motel to stay in, in Leadville. But today's blog did publish, it's, it was titled, it's titled, The Most Challenging Training Day in 2019. Question mark, what's yours? Okay, so let's click on that. And this is so important. This is where I hope to bring you value and to bring you resources and to share with you the raw goods, the materials. That's why all this is sitting right here that I have found, especially in the last four to five years to help me become a better runner, all right? So that's, that's the key. So here's the video playing, here's an ad, here's some other videos that are being promoted off to the right. Oh my goodness, we got 319 likes, one thumb down. I love the one thumb down that happens every day. It's like, I did love it because it keeps me humble. It's like whoever's doing it thumbs up to you. It's like, I don't know, it makes me laugh actually. So basically, you can see, I don't have a t-shirt on right now. Actually, hold on, nope, I don't have it out here. So right below the video are the t-shirts. If you wanna buy a Seek Beauty work card, love each other t-shirt, that's what this is right here. It's run by Teespring, 76 comments, nice. But what I wanna bring your attention to is this show more. You see this right here. So this is called the description of the video. So if you click on that, oh yeah, oh yeah. So this is the first section, especially because I'm doing marathon training right now, is called running recovery gear that I use daily from Amazon below. So here's the deal, everyone. I don't ask for your money through Patreon. I don't actually believe in that because I think media is cheap to create in 2019, meaning you need skills to do it, but frankly, your grandmother with her smartphone could make a video and publish it on YouTube every single day. I don't want to ask for your money unless you are receiving a raw good in return. Let me just try and flush that out a little bit. Basically, my family's been through a lot financially, like over the past eight years, trying to make ends meet. And so I get it, your money is hard-earned dollars. And if you're gonna be buying something, so like Patreon, that's a purchase in my opinion. That's how I approach, yeah, I don't use Patreon, but Patreon is a way to support YouTubers in case you didn't know. Instead of asking for your money through Patreon, I would rather provide links to raw materials and raw goods that I have used a lot and that I believe in and that I fully endorse, okay? For example, my Smith sunglasses. I've been, if you've been watching this channel a long time, you know how much I love these sunglasses. And so yes, they are linked down below in the description. And if you buy them through Amazon, yes, I get a little kickback. It's not much, but I get a little kickback. So, or for example, the footlog, whoops, sorry, the footlog massage, I mean, this thing, I use almost every day, I should use it more, almost every day. And now this Hyper Ice Viper 2 vibrating, let me turn it on real quick, vibrating of massage foam roller. So all I'm saying is everybody is that I provide links to Amazon products below in the description and to the running shoes that I'm using right now from Running Warehouse. You're looking at it right now and my favorite running gear from Amazon like Squirrel's Nut Butter, the anti-chafing solve that I truly believe in right there. Yes, from Amazon, and listen, I would do it through Jet.com, which is owned by Walmart. I do it through Alibaba, which is a company over, I think in, is it India or China? Anyway, I would do it for, I don't really, I just wanna provide you with as much opportunity to use the products, the materials that I'm using as possible. So that's what's going on down, for example, I have a section right here dedicated just to my running socks, because I get so many questions about my running socks. So anyway, that's what's happening in the description. Also, my training for the upcoming week, which I just started doing. So again, it's just like all about value for me. It's just all about value, because I love you guys. I want you to be the best runners you can be, and I want you to stay healthy. That's what, that's why the top section here in the description is all about running recovery gear. And I get it, go support your local running shoe shop, like help them out. They need your help, but some people don't live by running shoe shops, and they can't just go dry, you know maybe you're in high school and you can't quite drive yourself, or maybe you live in the boonies, like I did growing up, and there's no running shoe shop around. Well, now in 2019, we have running warehouse, we have Amazon, and I frankly think it's, I think it's nice. And one last point on the description is yes, if you want to connect on social media, or if you want to send in a pair of running shoes for the running shoe giveaways, which is happening soon. I have my PO box listed down here below as well. So I hope I helped clarify a few things about how to use this channel better. Especially with respect to search, and especially with respect to navigating on your mobile, cause I know a lot of you are watching the channel on your phone, and so it's just all about that Seth DeMor stretching. Seth DeMor, whatever else the case may be, Seth DeMor, what do I eat in a day? Yes, there is a vlog about that as well. Okay, keyword is gonna be YouTube. I know, I don't think I've ever done that before, just because I wanted to explain YouTube better for all of you, especially with how I organize my particular running YouTube channel. And the question of the day, oh, I'll do my best, I'll do my best. What questions do you have for me about this channel? With respect to navigation, with respect to these items you can buy, with respect to running shoes, with respect to, hey, if you want to go there, you know, my future projections for the channel, let's say in like the next six to 12 months, all I hope you know is that I am here for you. That is why last night at the motel, I stayed up pretty darn late, even though it looks like I'm here every single day because I love you guys and I want this, I want this to work for everyone, okay, by bringing value, but also providing resources for you to work with to get better and better in your dreams, chasing down your dreams, especially in the running world. Does that sound good? Does that sound good? All right, I'm gonna call it there. I know I went on a little bit there, but that is it. We will see you tomorrow. Thank you for being here. Thanks for watching. Thanks for spreading the word about this channel. And I think we're just getting started, if you know what I mean. All right, I'm gonna throw it back just to a few old running blogs. I'll go back to 2018 actually, back when we only had maybe a couple hundred running blogs as opposed to many, many more at this point in 2019. It's exciting. I see beauty, work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.
