The Trials and Tribulations of Running YouTubers

Another Runner's weekend gem from KOrnfuzi. Watch the master at work as he yells"Yo what's going on!!"

DGR might love the OG with blind uncritical love, but no one loves him like we do. We love him in a tough love kind of way. We WANT him to succeed we really do. Bring back the legendary OG thread!

Yeah he’s got all these other mf’ers put to shame. Who else is making bank running less than 25 per week?

Incidentally, whatever happened to true love’s 5k training? I remember that being a thing from the OG thread. #bringitback

It would be shut down because the DGR stans watch letsfun like a hawk

It's true. It absolutely amazes me that the guy has stans.

Unfortunately, all 5 of them likely now have a house full of unworn 'D' clothing as they fight to keep the dream alive.

I really can't stand this MFer. Starts off his vlog with excuses - I didn't sleep, I knew I was getting sick... Yet he's still out there doing meetups - inside, no mask - just a total douchebag

Whatever it is, it's way, way, way too much. But my guess is $50k for a Boston video. His Runna sponsorship failure is now complete, with Strava buying Runna for pennies (they sure burned through that VC money in a hurry by dumping money on runfluencers like Matt Choi and Kofuzi). Why Strava feels the need to purchase Runna when they already had somewhat personalized plans on their app for subscribers and have Stravabot is interesting. Seems to me like it's more about removing a potential future competitor than actually doing anything useful with the Runna platform.

At this point, and in this economy, his travel vlogs are just gross and off putting. Not necessarily because of the travel itself, but because they're all paid for by companies, that payment is rarely if ever disclosed in his videos, and some of the sponsoring companies are laying people off. I also find it absolutely hilarious that his last vlog of 2024 was his trip to the "Running Event," where he spent the whole time saying goodbye to all his friends because he wasn't going to travel in 2025. And, if anything, he's traveling more now than last year.

He's addicted to traveling. With Spring races happening, he can't turn down the chance to charge them for appearing at the event.

He TOTALLY reads this thread! Someone speculated about marriage troubles and all of a sudden, boom! True Love makes an appearance. Seth needed to dispel any rumors that he was sleeping on the couch.

Unreal vlog today....the excuses are insane. You'd think this is the first time he's ever raced. Wow...just wow.

Ahhh! Re-learning the “art” of road racing.

There is a special technique? Mind blown! All those years I wasted just going hard from the gun, mixing it up with other competitors, and sometimes winning. It all feels so cheap now because I never treated it as artistic expression! My youth is gone and, with what I have learned from SJD, I was a talentless hack! A sad Salieri to his beauty seeking Mozart.

There are ample grounds to lay criticism. Doing so on the basis he wasn’t wearing a mask indoors is hilarious. How this is unanimously upvoted is crazy.

Lmfao if you know you’re sick and decide to host a public event without a mask, yes, you’re the a$$hole

Which booster are you on now? 7? 8?

So he was "ill"... but did a meetup, ran a half, rooted through discarded clothes, and shot b-roll at a church?

Because it shows a complete lack of empathy if Seth, a runner that clearly feels being unwell has inhibited his performance, still decides to meet other runners who also presumably don't want to get ill and have their race impacted - and takes absolutely 0 steps to stop others ending up in the situation he's in.

If you're going to blame a bad performance on being ill, don't also be a massive t*** and expose yourself to others.
