Facing My Fear in 2019 - Seth James DeMoor
Intro: This is a quick summary of “Facing My Fear in 2019” from Seth James DeMoor. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.
Key Points:
- Facing personal running fears (especially track intervals) boosts confidence.
- Mixing mountain long runs with track speed work creates balanced fitness.
- Small, progressive track sessions—like 8×1 km repeats or 3×3 km repeats—prepare you for faster marathon goals.
- Mental preparation (recognizing fear, easing into it) is as important as the physical effort.
Workout Example:
- Warm‑up 1 mi easy.
- 8 × 1 km repeats on the track at ~4:50 /mi (≈5:20 /mi for a 5 K) with 90 seconds easy jog between each.
- OR, if you prefer longer work: 3 × 3 km at a comfortably hard effort with ~3 min recovery.
- Cool‑down 1 mi easy. Adjust the paces to match your current fitness using the Pacing app.
Closing Note: Try one of these track sessions this week, tweak the intervals to fit your own pace, and watch how facing that fear translates into faster runs. Don’t forget to watch the full video for more context and motivation!
