Jeez, Nick Bester is rapid.
Just ran a 14:36 5k in sweltering heat despite being well over 6ft and specialising in the marathon distance and above.
He nearly beat two of the UKs best runners who are Olympians.
I think he will move towards ultra running in the near future though. That seems to be where his real talent lies and where he could go to top 10 in world level

I think Floberg can be dramatic, but I do actually like some of his stuff.
However, his coaching is getting ridiculous. These guys who have been taking running seriously for a couple years think they can be coaches?
From what I understand, Clark started running a few years ago, and is now qualified to be a coach because he broke 2:30 in a marathon?
Then the cherry on top, Floberg's videographer, Cyrus, was just announced to be a coach helping with the training plans. This is a guy who isn't even a runner, just rides his bike around filming Floberg while he runs.
Floberg and Clark may or may not know anything about running, but this group is purely built through social media gravitas and hype. I don't think the training plans will be anything you can't download online, but the group chat, drama, and hype will be there.
It's just another revenue stream, not quality coaching from experts.
Floberg and his hoard are leeches. They will suck everything they can from running then move onto Hyrox or something else

Hi Nick!

If anybody wants to know what TL hears on occasion, check out Seth's new raw uncut race vlog. Nothing but heavy breathing and complaining about a 2 hour drive.
Come on man, don't forget the HEAT!

paying an influencer to coach you is the running version of onlyfans.
lonely dudes who wanna get noticed by their crush. smh
Everyone knows that TL and Meg are adults in their relationships. Wishing them strength and all the best!
Hi BenIsDNFing U MELTTTTTTTTTTT
Grow up.
Ben is a great runner and a top guy.
He will continue to improve as a runner.
Adam Wood latest video is excellent.
I love how everyone is pimping those cooling headbands now - so relatable wearing a $200 headband!
Question for the week:
Name your favourite parkrun and what makes it so good?
Pretty new to this thread, and idk man, what exactly do you all want from these people? For them to not exist? That's cool if that's the answer - I hate influencing as a concept, and also find the bulk of them to be completely insufferable and cringey.
But you can't really be mad at them for peddling products and what not, when that's the whole point of influencing. You get paid to make content and try to convince people to buy the products. Just don't watch their stuff. Stop being self-serious dorks and go for a run

Which estate is the gash one? I saw him couple months ago at Battersea Park

Many dislike people using a pretend love of running as an excuse to rip off newbies into the sport.
Many dislike people with 1 or 2 decent, faster than average marathons under their belts selling coaching for $120 a month.
Many dislike disingenuous reviews of shoes that are misleading due to the reviewer being paid. Some don't even tell us they were paid to give a good review.
Many are just unhappy in life and just want someone to blame.
Kofuzi pleasing his Asics overlords with today's Strava post.
Been enjoying Michael Ottensen, Adam Wood, Habtum Cheeney. Not perfect, but too the point and interesting watching them chase their goals.
Ben Felton isn't as bad as you folks make him seem to be, little annoying at times, but he's making a living doing what he loves.
Ben Parkes, his marathon videos are legit, gets me hyped. Everything else? Idk, little too much crying and I would burn out trying to do his marathon plans. Too fast, too often.
Floberg probably has the weirdest videos of all He's pretty unpredictable and does a lot of dumb things, seems to respect folks that are faster than him, until he's faster than shoves them to the side. Dropped his client while pacing him? What's next? Unfortunately I'm suckered in because he's so awkward.
Athlete Special, odd guy, but more relatable and actually trains pretty smart for the most part.
Truett Hanes, same boat as Floberg. Weird, but entertaining as well. He says he has haters, yes he does. He needs to address that he doesn't take steroids or else he will continue to have haters.
RantoJapan, very fast runner, awesome to see he's signed with Brooks, looking forward to seeing the video.
Cole Gibbens? Is that his name? Ego went through the roof after his 2:16, great race, but now hard to relate to and watch his latest videos.
Who else is worth watching?
I think you’d love TheWu, CrownmyRun and Donato aka poetwithpace
unbelievably good channels

ok I came here to make fun of shoetubers and runfluencers, not to self reflect.
