We're gonna give it a go a nice little jaunt up the mountain and of course We will talk about roads trails ultra running marathon running the differences and what I am Trying to walk the line with this year in 2019 and I'm intrigued to hear your thoughts about the differences about Trail running road racing all that good stuff. All right It's gonna hurt. Let's go. I think we got a YouTube family. Oh, man I love it. I just love working hard and I didn't film on the way up. I didn't even wear a vest 2628 is what my watch says. Oh, baby. I've run this mountain probably 30 times in my life last four years and That king of the mountain has been a doozy a doozy to chase down. Oh Baby, you inspired me on the way up. You inspired me on the way This is Mount Morrison. Oh I threw my hat and my sunglasses to the ground about a half mile back I just had to go for it Nike's Back at the car. Oh My goodness guys. I'm really excited. All right. Got it. What's got some water got some food got the camera And now we're going back out Upro up in Where am I red rocks and then over to Mount Morrison over there. Sorry, Mount Falcon over there. I just did Mount Morrison. Oh, man Keep dreaming keep dreaming. All right keep Got to put that work in I feel like I've had a really solid first two months of 2019 But we're just getting started. We are just getting started all of us here and you're training like patience and persistence patience and Persistence. All right, let's go. Come on. Wait, where am I going? All right. All right. Oh, man trip report for everyone local in Colorado Mount Morrison is pretty now. Listen a snowstorm is on the way But Mount Morrison is clear right now Mount Falcon is a muddy mess as you saw on the way up. All right Looking out here. I don't know if you'll be able to see it in the camera, but this is Mount Morrison across the way where my fingers pointing There we go There we go That's that's where that's where I just came from. All right. Love you all Love you all It's gonna take a little take a little rest. Have a great weekend by the way. Mmm rest relax massage Coffee you might be getting a long run in as beautiful too man You guys are you you are inspiring me. Oh my goodness. What a world. What a beautiful world, okay? And we're back in the studio. Oh my goodness. What a day. Okay, getting to this in one minute. Stay to stay tuned Stay with me. All right today's run I won't I'm not gonna talk about how long it was or what I did overall, but those first three miles We're pretty exciting really the first mile and a half Mount Morrison is just outside of Denver, Colorado If you Google red rocks amphitheater the Beatles have played there Johnny Cash Neil Young all the heart all the rock and roll folks. I don't think Elvis was ever there. That would be cool I don't think I I don't think he was ever there But all the big musicians have come through Red Rocks. Well just above Red Rocks is Mount Morrison That's where I was running today trying to go for the chorus record and a shout out to Brandon Brandon I've never met we're not connected anywhere on Strava or anywhere else But Brandon's time on Mount Morrison I think he set the course record in 2014 and Literally thousands of runners have gone up that mountain since then it was a stout stout record I mean, I was digging and digging you saw me at the top there I was breathing and it was a it was a I'm still like feeling it today 10 hours later or no Eight hours later. So anyway shout out to Brandon for a great time on Mount Morrison And it was fun just to to gun for it. And yes, this is kind of okay. Just a little bit of my strategy Confidence One week. Yeah one week from today when you're watching this I will be doing the America's uphill race in Aspen, Colorado Going up the ski mountain and so today's run was the whole idea behind it was to build Confidence going into the race. So you might want to think about that for your racing I think a week out is perfect Maybe like 10 days 7 to 10 days out do something that will build your confidence like you know You can you can gun for it whether it's a whether it's a you know, like a Segment on Strava that you've been you've been working toward or maybe it's a great workout on the track And you're like, okay, I need to hit 8 by 400 and you know 62 seconds or whatever your times are So anyway, that's a little bit of my strategy, and that's what I did today But now I want to talk about real briefly Ultra marathons marathon racing as you know I am attempting to run the Cleveland Marathon actually race my brains out at the Cleveland Marathon go as fast as possible So it's March 1st when you're watching this it's March 2nd. So January February now We're in March. I've been building that aerobic engine That we've talked about over the last two months. I think I've done a pretty good job actually I think we're gonna hit 85 miles this week if all goes well this weekend and The again, we're just building that aerobic engine building the foundation and because of that foundation I'm feeling I'm feeling good, but it's hard for me It's hard YouTube family to transition from trail running mountain running Ultra marathons to road racing when I can go out and snag a snag a king of the mountain today And it's just like I love the mountains. I love running up mountains And so I'm excited for Cleveland But just know like it has been a wrestling match Really over the last probably like three or four months like trying to figure out hmm Should I achieve my dream of racing a marathon once in my life and frankly like life goes on You know that like time as my uncle always says time waits for no man And so seizing the moments when you feel like okay, I can go for my first 10k I can go for my first, you know marathon effort, you know on a fast marathon course Coming along this first marathon journey with me because frankly, I'm trying to figure out like okay Marathon racing and I get it in about two weeks two to three weeks. I gotta think March Yeah through two to three weeks I have to say no to the trails not entirely, but I have to cut back I'm gonna start to cut back. It's gonna be so weird so hard for me to cut back from that vertical I don't want to say addiction, but that vertical love and come down to Back down to Denver at 5,000 feet and start to go fast Start to go fast whether it's more intense lactate threshold runs and yes, I know it's going to happen I'm gonna go in a circle around a track just for you guys out there that love the track It's I got to do it. I know I've got to do it 1k repeats with you know two minutes rest It's like it's got to happen So and so I'm just gonna say it now as I go for the speed I'm gonna need your your accountability to make sure like no Seth You can't go run another 14 or you got to go to the track and get that speed because listen It's gonna be fast in Cleveland. I know it's gonna be fast based on past winners and We're gonna rock and roll. We're gonna rock and roll out there. Okay, and the question of the day Have you transitioned from a a particular discipline within Racing whether it's from the roads to the to the trails from ultra marathons to back down to the marathons or the 10k Or maybe from the track to the roads or vice versa like have you and maybe you do everything and that's fine too But like do you have a specialty? Have you have you gone through a transition? Like I'm kind of trying to go through myself in 2019. So that's the question of the day. Thanks for hitting it up down below and Here we go.
