Athlete Special & Co (Ari, Allie), Tinman, Ben Crawford, Total Running Productions, VO2 Max, Coconino Cowboys, Bowerman, Beer Mile, NN, Emma Abrahamson

Triathlon- Global Triathlon Network, Lionel Sanders, Kristian Blummenfelt, Richard Murray, Sam Long, Team Charles-Barclay

We're kind of spoiled for content rn, & a lot of it is pretty dang good & fun to follow.

If I had to pick 3 I'd go Athlete Special, Tinman, Kristian, in that order.

Thanks! More new channels for me to explore.

Fair point on the BTC non-elite group then.

Anyone who isn't sedentary can run 4hrs before they actually start any kind of real training, it's not impressive.

& printing hats with your name on it when you're a nobody is the height of narcissism, I'm opposed to it in principle. It's different if an elite athlete did it (although even that could be cringey).

Well he's not a nobody. He has 70,000 subscribers on youtube.

total running production videos can be made by a bot - rephrase some wikipedia pages and add his "signature" music that's all you need

1. TRP

2. The Athlete Special

3. Ben Crawford(when he was able to post)

Honorable mention would be Emma(i liked her early vlogs and when she covered races, like when she went to Arcadia), Easton Allred, Charles Hicks, Morgan Mcdonald’s vids are actually pretty good for just starting out. Allie Ostrander could be good as well

1. Seth James DeMoor

2. Total Running Productions

3. The Athlete Special

I agree with some if the caveats mentioned by others, but I am able to enjoy those three in greater doses than the following already mentioned by others: Sage (and "Coach Sandy"), Nick Bare, Nick Symmonds (and Nick Symmonds Too), Ben Parks (and Sarah Place), Flotrack,... Sorry to list the two girlfriends in brackets, but I do think that their boyfriends channels are the better quality ones...

Billy Yang and Beau Miles have limited content, but all very good.

I think not mentioned yet are:

Gwen Jorgensen: some a bit mundane, others very good inspirational cinematography

Run Steep Get High: I enjoy Jamil, but that's probably an acquired taste

Salomon Golden Trail Series recaps: both for the 2019 and 2020 series

Ben Barrows is number one for me.

After that I’d go with Foggdogg exclusive,FOD runner and also the Athlete Special which has got even better since likes of his friend Ari and Allie Ostrander started appearing more.

Have to agree on Ben Parkes. He comes across as plain weird and his progression to a 2:25 marathon is very suspect. As massive narcissist indeed, who in their right mind would want to punt out merchandise with their own name on it? How about running around in a cap with 'CANADAY' or 'DEMOOR' emblazoned on it? Nope. That would be a step too far for them.

I occasionally watch Seth Demoor, he's annoying but his content is well produced and he has some sound advice. He's geared more towards sub-elite athletes imo so more relevant to me.

Great list!

1. Total Running Productions - Posts frequently with some great archival racing footage

2. FOGDOG Exclusive - Subbed to this Australian college undergraduate's channel when he had like 200 subscribers - honest young talent - Has the potential to do some really crazy times over the next few years as he matures as a runner. 3:40/4:00/14:03 talent with a bright future.

3. Then just a toss-up of a number of others - some uploads better than others: Seth Demoor (daily uploads - does some great stuff, then some so-so material), Nick Symmonds (and his "too" channel), Jordan Thomas (newer L.A. based - a decent fellow), TAS, HellaGood (has a decent streak of days going), MisterFilOfficial (uploads about once a month, but worth the wait), Team Ingebrigtsen (season 4 just started to drop - interesting content with subtitles), and then there are a bunch of others I will watch occasionally.

Jim Muchmore is the go-to for posting archival footage from original broadcasts. Building a hell of a library.

What's your list of best running related YouTube channels? Doesn't have to be channels that only cover running. Here's my list.

1. VO2 Max Productions

2. Nick Symmonds

3. The Athlete Special

Honorable Mentions: Nick Bare, Beau Miles, Nick Symmonds Too, The Run Experience, The Running Channel, FloTrack, Billy Yang Films

Symmonds. But Nick doesn't push himself hard enough now. So it sucks that we can't see what he's really capable of running a 400 in at his current age and 183 lb body weight ... It's all jokes for him. All a laughing matter. He has zero motivation.

So his 57 at 183 is kind of boring seeing that he probably did like 5 marathons before that, 5 beer mile challenges, who has the best butt challenge while running a mile,etc....

You need to go check out "The Good Run" on Youtube. These guys are just starting and don't have a big following yet, but their content is pretty good. It's at least higher quality than most running channels out there on Youtube.

But he's making more money on it that a lot of other professional runners...
