The Athletes special is by far the best running youtuber. The worst is The Runner, previously known as The Vegan Runner.

He can increase motivation levels.
+1 for Cedric..
Another Aussie worth checking out is Dan Whitehead... very talented video producer...
Guy trying to break 4:30 in the mile. Posts solid workout videos and are pretty funny too. Worth a watch
1. Ben Barrow
2. The Runner (known as the vegan runner0
3. Zach Levet
Can't say a lot about the worst, as if i don't like anything i just don't watch it. I mean, i guess it's not worth wasting you time. But for the best i would totally root for ricegum as fortnite streamer and blogger - quite entertaining to watch. Sometimes he does crazy stuff and always makes me laugh
Seth James Demoor. Watch his vid in the am and gets me motivated to get out the door. Plus I really like to see where he runs in Colorado. I like his low key music. Sometimes it can be annoying to hear that same music every one pumps out on their YouTube videos. His is a bit different and it quite refreshing.
I like kofuzzi for his shoes reviews and he is a techi.

Best: Sage Canaday
Worst: Jami and his stupid shoe reviews
Sage was good but now he hasn't been able to keep up with the development. His channel is a little bit like from the 90s. It's annoying when a guy is speaking when he is running. He puts almost zero effort into those videos and talks too much. They are live stream type of videos, not edited vlogs and honestly I don't understand why some people have to point out constantly that they are eating plant based food. It's like this gay pride movement where you have to tell everybody everyday that you are gay and how awesome it is to be a gay. It's food and nothing more. Sage was the first running youtuber that I followed but he should try to think ways to make his videos better.
I like Jami. In my opinion those videos are entertaining. Same applies to Ginger Runner's shoe videos. I don't agree with everything what he says but his videos are concise and informative. Believe in the Run used to be very good too but now when they have started to stream reviews live, they have become a little bit sloppy.
I follow also Ben Parkes, Seth DeMoor, Ben Barrows, Kofuzi, Zach Levet, Run Experience and Nick Symmonds.
Ben Parkes - About a year ago he was a great inspiration for me. A guy who had no running background runs a 2:25 marathon. I still watch all his videos and like him but lately also he has started to become too much focused on plant based diet. It reminds me of Communism in the 80s when some people had to point out all the time how well things were going in the Soviet Union.
Seth DeMoor - a humble, honest guy from a small town. I enjoy watching almost all his videos. Probably the main reason for that is the fact that those vlogs are published right after my lunch time. So it's easy to watch them when I drink coffee. Now after a year or maybe 15 months I feel that Seth and I are almost friends.
Ben Barrows - what a guy. Really an old school guy in everything what he is doing. If you compared indie movies to hollywood blockbusters, Ben would be an indie movie. I'd love to know which beer he orders in a bar. Is it the cheapest one or a really odd brand that nobody has ever heard of?
Zach Levet - some movies are interesting, some not so. It's nice to see where he is traveling and whether he is able to run a 2:19 marathon or not
Nick Symmonds - I liked his videos in the beginning but now those challenges etc. has made the content as fake as the worst tv programs. I hope he becomes more creative and does something useful because he must have learned a lot when he was training seriously for the Olympics
Kofuzi - that guy is a pu***. What he does well is filming but he doesn't know almost anything about shoes or training. First I didn't even want to follow him but later I start to watch some of his videos. Maybe watching his videos is a way to see what a otto normalbürger is doing. Just a regular dude from the streets talking about stuff he doesn't know. It's not entertaining but an interesting phenomenon that channels like this exist. Not bad, not good.
Run Experience - sometimes I watch also those videos. Nate is another pu***. He is probably the most feminine man I've ever seen but whenever he gives mobility tips or something like that I watch. I wouldn't trust his view in training because when a soft guy tries to be a coach, you'd run your marathon one hour more slowly than you'd run without a coach but he honestly knows something how to take care of the body.
In addition to these I watch channels like Flotrack whenever they post an interesting video about training.
I started watching Seth DeMoor when I saw the LRC thread about his attempt to qualify for the Olympic Trials. I watch his vlog every day now. Super positive, great personaility. It is good to see a sub elite reviewing products.
I have even caught my non-running teenagers watching his videos in between David Dobrik and the Dolan Twins (non-running youtubers).

This is exactly how I feel. Every time I stop by there, the guy is spouting objectively wrong information. Like it's cool that a normal middle aged dude can pick up running as a hobby, and put all this energy into making a channel to document the journey, but keep it as a personal vlog and quit trying to be this source of information for stuff you know nothing about. His viewers just eat it up too. I get that he makes pretty videos, his camera shots and editing are very cool, but that doesn't mean he actually knows what he's talking about.
Best: Barrows
Worst: Abrahamson

Yeah, what happened to that channel.
It looked promising but than it suddenly stopped.
Sage's stuff is probably as good as it can get.
For the most part all these youtube channels and running podcasts are pretty annoying in my opinion.

Worst: Levet, that douchebag from Georgetown, and Run Gum.
Not running channels: Kofuzi and Jamison Michael. They're amateur gear review channels.
JPGloria has concise and useful tech videos:
Zach: l can't stand his gayness. I mean he did weeks of flaming gay undertones, seriously the dude was picking up strangers and letting dudes sleep in his bed. And don't get me started on hanging out at high schools and he's basically just a waste. Ben Barrows: do we really need to see him run another race by himself? I mean the dude obviously can't afford to pay an entry fee. He actually gives me the creeps with his eyebrows... seriously at 25, no kids, no job worth anything, lives in a dump in Nowhere USA, no friends, and no girlfriend, or possibly he has boyfriend, why isn't he lighting it up on the road? If l was him l would eather be running serious times or in a mental institution because I couldn't stand living a life like that. He seems to be an idiot savant that can deal with stuff like that. The Special Athlete: two words describe him, Total Narcissist. I mean the dude gets last place at all the big races, and you would think he destroyed the field.
