Boulder, CO, USA

Ask Seth

What is your dream travel destination?

I have always wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand, so I’d love to go run the trails in both those locations.

What's your go-to coffee shop order?

Usually just a drip coffee. You can judge the quality of a coffee shop by how good their drip coffee is. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll get an oat milk cortado.

If you weren't a professional athlete, what would you be?

I’d love to design running shoes in a future life. Footwear, specifically running footwear, has always been so interesting to me.

What are 5 things you can't leave home without?

Hat, sunglasses, phone, running shoes, water bottle.
