Every guy who sprints in first mile of a marathon to get air time.
Fam made a video titled Run Fearless. By the way, all of Letsrun kissed his ass before he USA nationals.
Paul Tergat ... he'll face anyone anytime, and never dodges competition. He chooses the hardest races. He also trains fearlessly.
Taylor Swift is pretty "Fearless"....
Any triathlete that runs in a Speedo.
Out.
Salazar was pretty fearless/insane. Reading about his almost dying after a 10k, and still not taking water at Boston later on, is unbelievable.
Alberto Salazar and Paula Radcliffe

Currently, I think Ryan Hall is a tough runner.
Being a front runner doesn't make you fearless. A very common misconception.

That is really hard to say without knowing them, one athlete sticks out to me, but he was an all-state runner from my high school career who I'm sure no one but me would know.

I second that. If Lashawn chooses to run a 46, Wariner runs a 46.5. Jeremy is his personal bitch.

Yeah, Tergat is tied for my top pick with John Walker, who would just race and race and race.
El Guerrouj. He dominated the 1500 and stepped up to the 5000 to take down Bekele in the Olympics.
Tergat for all his great performances in xc, road racing and track. He was the king of all venues.
Bernard Lagat always seems up to a challenge and has the consistency and toughness most of the other American middle distance runners don't have.
Is it just me or has Geb been a little shy about mixing it up in a marathon with heavy competition since Khannouchi and Tergat relegated him to 3rd place in that one marathon (Chicago or London?). Now he seems to only choose drag strip courses and avoids Sammy Wanjiru and other guys capable of beating him, like in Beijing.
not talking $hit...
read the training section, I'm almost 7 years out from being diagnosed with a brain tumor.
I hope the Barringer mention was a joke. Her display of running at nationals was probably one of the most half-hearted attempts I've seen in running. Fearless people don't make excuses so Nate Jenkins would have to be out of the equation as well. Fearless people go race every race balls to the wall and when are asked why they didn't win can respond with "I went for it". Barringer on the other hand hyped up running Nationals, then blew up and said the race wasn't important to her but also had no excuse as to why she stopped the race and got back up to kick down 60 people in the home chute when she saw no one had sympathy for her.
