The Runner is probably the best. Great videos, very informative, fun. No need to go anywhere else.

Your channel is the worst piece of trash to grace the YouTube running niche.

Ben Parkes and Ben Barrows for training
Sage Canaday for more advanced stuff
Alice On a Run for making me feel good (it me)
I honestly don’t love The Running Channel (lots of “top 10 X” videos) but they occasionally come up with useful stuff if you’re more at the hobbyjogger level
I pity anyone who uses Ben Parkes for training.
Here's some recent "Marathon sessions" he proposed:
- 5x1KM (600m jog), 3x200 (200m jog)
- 20M easy run including 3K @ (what turned out to be slower than Marathon pace)
- 4x1KM (500m jog), 4x400 (400m jog)
- "THIS SESSION WORKS TO GET MARATHON READY" also titled as "10MILE SESSION" which actually was 6x1KM with a 10K cooldown
The guy constantly puts out videos on topics he admits he doesnt know much about himself:
- 'How to make your 5K quicker' but hasnt run a 5K PB (15:24 on a short Parkrun) in 3years
- 'How to deal with pre-race anxiety' but constantly says he cant cope
- 'How to get stronger to avoid injury' and gets 'injured' all the time
also cant forget:
- the fact he lies about his HM PB (the event was disqualified for being massively net downhill: Semi Marathon des Oussaillès)
- always refers to himself as a 2:25 Marathoner, which while it is true, 2018 was the only time he has ever managed to get under 2:30, in various attempts
- crying watching hobby joggers run 2hr HM's "because it's so emotional"
- now tries getting sympathy from his viewers by throwing in "mental health" as a buzzword into most videos
If you are going to have a platform like that, you have a responsibility to your viewers and constantly BS'ing them is not part of that.
If you want to know what his next video is going to be, just have a look at other popular YouTube Running Vloggers because he copies their videos too

Spencer Brown of The Athlete Special just moved to Colorado and is pumping out a lot of great content.
Spencer has since moved to Seattle with Allie O. They do put out some interesting videos.
I would go with a runner out of Colorado called True Love. She doesn't film her videos herself (I think she has trouble finding all her go pros that have been hidden in random cupboards) but instead it's a fairytale dwarf called Steezy behind the camera and she recently broke the hour mark for a 5k. It's great seeing how the elites do it.
Ellie Ostrander is a professional runner and YouTuber with a popular channel subscribed to by more than 17 thousand people. 1 million views. Her channel is one of the best YouTube channels for runners: runner blogs, training videos and recipes. All because she has met all the requirements that are taught at streamingliveacademy.com Ellie has been running since childhood and launched her YouTube channel in 2015.
And of course you can’t forget this one….

Chris Floyd doing Air Force XC.
Aside from the ones already mentioned
Luis Orta - Venezuelan record holder in the half. His Kenyan training camp videos are always good
Runner Boi - has some interesting content, fun videos like progression of the stroller mile and the basketball mile
Stephen Scullion
The guy's legit with lots of useful advice for the "advanced" runner
Already a lot of great suggestions, but surprised no one has mentioned Ben is Running (Ben Felton?). His channel has been a little light on content recently, but it has been interesting to see his progression across various distances.
If you are open to Japanese YouTube, there is another world of content out there.
Thanks! I like these ones!
