Running YouTubers

I like Zach Levet's channel. Interesting look into the life of a D1 runner. Sometimes feels a little over the top with the editing though.

Ben Barrows kind of annoys me. His videos are completely devoid of any humor or enthusiasm and his "OTQ constraints" video from a few months back come off as pretentious and condescending to runners who got their OTQ in vaporflys or at CIM.

Some of Sage's videos are long and drawn out but he's still the YouTube GOAT.

Ryan Trahan can't even be considered a running YouTuber anymore. He gets 500k+ views on most of his videos now, but he hasn't made a running related one in almost a year now.

Billy Yang is another one of my favorites. I know ultrarunning gets a lot of hate here, but he makes some pretty awesome videos just from a cinematic perspective.

Lastly, Jamison Michael is hands down the best shoe review channel.

I like Seth DeMoor too and Zach Levet. There's also an interesting Japanese YouTuber "Runtana" who runs about 70 min for the half and takes you along first person on his races and workouts. Pretty cool to feel what its like to race towards the front of the pack.

Harry Jones - consistent top 10 guy - good videos!

Jake Abdinoor, although he's a bit much for most videos.

Dan whitehead easily has the best editing and cinematography. Also like Zach & Sage

I like cicirunner for his competitive drive I find him very motivational and his stories relatable.

Watched all of Emma Abrahamson's videos at Oregon the behind the scenes look was cool but since she graduated I have stopped watching her, I watch Ellie a bit just out of curiousity what she'll be able to accomplish at the marathon distance, should be able to qualify for trials.

Some that haven't been mentioned.

Kofuzi is my favorite. He’s out running in Chicago in all conditions. His Chicago Marathon motivation video was amazing. Check it out if you have a few minutes.

Don’t bash on my boy Ben.

I love Seth James DeMoore. Watch his daily videos.

He is the Blue's Clues of running.

Used to hate him but just started liking his stuff.

So, I'm not trying to be mean, but when you put yourself out there and use your channel as a way to earn a living, you have to expect criticism from people who watch. That's my disclaimer.

I used to enjoy Emma A until she left Oregon, ballooned in weight and basically stopped with any decent running content. Loved the content when she was at O and seeing the inner workings of a D1 track/XC program was the best. Now, it's as if she has no direction in life and just wants to live off her YouTube subs while putting out dodgy vids. Her "running" content these days is a joke. No one cares about a hobby jogger or what a hobby jogger eats in a day. Her sister Ellie's channel is much more in tune with what Emma's core audience used to be. I'm sure there are a bunch of fans that will watch her no matter what she does, I just don't happen to be one of them. Watching vid after vid about her not caring about her body image yet incessantly talking about her body image isn't my idea of entertaining or informative. The only good thing I can say is that at least she doesn't suck nearly as bad as Symmonds.

Seth James deMoore is pretty darn good.......Seek Beauty

Work Hard

and Love Each Other!

after several years of less than 500 viewers and 1000 videos, once he focused on running, in just 4 short months, his viewer totals are closing in on 10,000.

Just because his Ultra videos are Gorgeous, The GingerRunner is a heavy hitter. His reviews are solid, too.

I'm not into the Ultra crowd, but his videos have tempted me.

Nick Simmonds is getting better as he has started posting real running tips and his own strategies from back in the day.

For me, in no particular order, it's

Seth

Sage

Athlete Special

Ben

Kofuzi

Forgot about Billy Yang and Mocko (hilarious)

Never heard of Kofuzi, will give him a try. I love what Nick Symmonds puts out sometimes, such as his warm up routine. It is very informing to see what an athlete of his caliber does to warm up.

Feeling bad for Ben right now, hopefully he gets back in shape.

Athlete Special is the OG. Love him, Levet has some good stuff too. Insane editing.

Emma has a very like able personality, she is 1000 times nicer than any of you trolls on Let’s Run will ever be.

TheAthleteSpecial is easily the best. His content is so quality and hes a beast.

Easton is good and it's cool to see his NXN videos.

Ben Barrows makes really good training advice and analysis videos, I definitely recommend.

Levet creeps me out and his voice is annoying asf, he talks like a pre-pubescent girl.

personally my favorites are:

1. The Athlete Special// Ryan Trahan (if he still ran)

2. Emma Abrahamson

3. Zach Levet

4. Ben Barrows

5. Total Running Productions
