 Okay, there we go, run one in the books for today. I'd go into the gym now, and just so you know, if you're following the training down in the description, I was gonna go five this morning, ended up going six. Why? Because I feel great. I had two days over the weekend, back to back, nice and easy. So I felt good, so I decided to attack on an extra mile. So the description of my training down below, every vlog, it's malleable. If I feel good, I'm gonna go a little further, a little faster, just a little bit. If I don't feel good, if the legs don't feel good, I'll go a little less as far as volume, and a little slower, all right? So it's all, it's all by feel. I'm not, I definitely don't lock in my training, like into, into stone or concrete. I'm willing to let it breathe a little bit, again, depending on how I feel. Okay, let's go get this, let's go get this workout on. Action, here we go, taking out, oh yeah, the glide rides. Haven't worn these in a long time. I don't know, I think it was December, actually. So, and I'm probably gonna pick up a second pair. There's a Tokyo Olympics edition that is red and white, I believe, so I have my eye on those, but I just, you know how much I love these shoes, and they work for my gait cycle, for my foot strike, so there's a good chance you'll be seeing another version, although, because I just, the second iteration, I don't think it's gonna come out until, oh, I would suspect like July or August, so I just don't, I don't think I can wait that long. So anyway, here we go, and it also means we're starting to pick up the pace a little bit. This has a little more snap than some other middle distance and long run shoes that I own. All right, here we go. Nothing like getting back from a 16 mile run to some fresh muffins, that's what I'm talking about, mm-hmm, chocolate chip, mm-hmm. Sometimes the, sometimes the most available space in the home is the kitchen, so that's where we're, that's where we're getting our groove on today. Get our groove on, everyone. Oh my, my, everyone, we are just in waiting mode for baby, left this on. So I need to be very efficient with my time today, so we're not gonna go into the studio to talk about marathon training week six. Instead, we're gonna do it right here as I multi-task with some foam rolling and stretching and all that good stuff. So, perfect, that's what I want. Let's go, we got a pack of wolves here, although I did just teach Seth how to focus on my face using the touchscreen on the back of the camera, so training, training the next generation. All right, so here we go, two runs today, morning runs, six miles. I think it was about, well, I'll put it on the screen right now, I think it was about 830 a mile approximately, maybe 840, and then this afternoon, so, and I did that run in the Skechers Go Run Ride 8, my easy day shoe, and I'm enjoying that shoe quite a bit, you know, a little craziness, a little bit of swimming through the toe box as well, kind of like the A6 Evo ride of yesterday's run. And then the second run this afternoon in Denver, which I decided not to film, I just, I need to be a little expeditious today, getting things done was 16 miles, about 655 approximately per mile, I'll have to check Strava here in a little bit, there it is on your screen. In, as I mentioned at the park bench in the A6 Glide Ride, a throwback shoe to 2019, and treated me well once again, they're definitely a heavy, I must say, like I felt it about mile, about mile 12, so, you know, about three quarters of the way through where my legs were like, okay, I feel the weight of this shoe a little bit. All right, found a quieter location, that is good, take a quick drink of water. And yes, this is my little editing, I think I've shown this to you before, my little editing station, little standing desk, shout out to Ikea for the standing desk that I created here in my corner, some lights, holds the computer, few running shoes, you know the drill, you know the drill. All right everyone, so, that's what I, what's the, hold on, the camera's falling, that's what I said about week six, was that it was a critical week of training, because it was really the first bigger volume week in this 14 week training block, and I survived. Not only did I survive, I would say that I thrived because of how my legs feel, without a lot of vertical gain mixed into my training right now, I must say the legs feel great, so great that I'm able to do those dynamic plyometric exercises in the gym, like I wasn't even coming close to that type of agility and explosion last fall, getting ready for Amsterdam, basically, because I mean, I would, I'll just say it, I think my legs were tired, and they were doing a lot of climbing up in the mountains, which I love doing, but the mountains are chock full of snow right now, so it's a little difficult to get up there, and I don't want to leave cell phone service, you know why that is the case, so therefore I'm keeping it pretty flat, and just steady, like today's second run, steady, that 16 mile steady run, and that's going, so transitioning into week six is gonna be a little more of the same, volume continues to climb, we're getting closer actually, craziness, 13 days from today is halfway through the training block, that, I can't, I don't even know what to say, so later this week, probably though next week, because I have a suspicion this little Henry is gonna show up sooner rather than later, so I suspect early next week, probably like Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, I will integrate in, hold on, I will integrate in the first tempo run, so 615 a mile, the first tempo run of the 14 week training block, so that'll be week seven, but week six is more of the same, a couple more steady runs instead of steezy, and oh yeah, so for next week, the tempo runs I will either take out, most likely not the zoom fly three, great shoe, little heavy, and I wasn't crazy about the upper on the zoom fly three, most likely either the Evo ride from yesterday's vlog, the Kinvara 11 from Soccany, or the new balanced fuel cell rebel, a throwback to 2019, I might take out the fuel cell rebel just cause I was unable to run in it very much last year, so week six marathon training, sorry, the tripod is not positioned very well in here, week six marathon training is all listed down below, and one, well maybe a couple more points, one last point is that I'm probably gonna load a little more volume early in the week, so Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, because again I suspect this little guy is gonna be arriving sooner rather than later, which means as you know, sleep is gonna go way down for a couple days, at least a couple weeks, so I gotta factor that into life and training as well, and then what else about week six, yeah, just adding in more dynamic plyometric work as we march on, all right everyone, so I'm excited, it's nothing crazy yet, you know, no fast workouts, no threshold runs, same old, same old as far as long runs and steady runs and steezy runs. Oh, oh, where's Mama's? Oh, you've got yours. Okay, perfect, no, you're good. So, it's a marathon training week six, unbelievable, and I forgot to tell the YouTube family that the volume for this week, this is what, remember I said I forgot what I was gonna tell you, this week the volume goal is 100 to 110, so that range, depending of course on baby Henry, right, and seeing now when he arrives, you know, we'll just be flexible, but I'm curious, are there any of your friends out there that wonder what the heck is Seth doing out there running so much? Yeah, what do they say? They're all asking, well first of all they love you and everybody's always saying to tell you hi, but they're just like, how does he do it, what's his mileage per week, what's the volume, how does he get the mileage in, how does he, they ask a lot about your food, like do you eat a lot more, does the volume go up a lot, and then I bring, somebody was asking about sleeping, you know, like does, do you need to sleep more, and they love, they wanna know like what your goal is for your time, they wanna know, I guess the mom's not as much what some of the dads are like, what shoes you're gonna wear, and what else? Watch the channel. I know, I'm like, funny you should ask. Hi, I have someone to send you, what else have they asked? Well, they wanna know like, what's your next race, where's it at, that's perfect. No, so if you're gonna keep yours in there, cause you got a little talk. Question of the day everyone, what is a interesting or unique question that you have received, maybe it's from a family member or a friend through the grapevine, as to your running and training regimen, that's maybe like, what the heck is this person doing? What are they doing? What are they doing out there? Is it crazy? Is it crazy? So that's the question of the day, tell us a good story down in the comments, and that's the vlog everyone. Week six baby. We're signing off, week six marathon training in the books. So it's gonna be good. All right everyone, we're gonna toss it back on the right to the last week's week five marathon training vlog that'll be on the right. And then the, and then yeah, that's right Michael. And then on the left we'll toss it back to the A6 Evo ride yesterday's first impression video. All right, see beauty. Work hard. And love each other. We'll see you tomorrow.
