Seth O’Donnell: Fast 5000m at the Night of Athletics

In his latest vlog, Seth O’Donnell takes us inside a big training and race day double — complete with muscle soreness, minimal sleep, and some creative pre-race strategies.

After pulling up sore and short on rest, Seth talks through his threshold session (3×10 minutes), shares a few laughs behind the scenes, and gives a peek into his pre-race routine — including ice baths and peanut butter rolls.

With race day heating up, he turns to cold exposure and physiology hacks to keep his core temp down before toeing the line. It’s candid, chaotic, and classic Seth — and a reminder that performance isn’t always predictable, but preparation matters.
