dnt get me started on Astin, seems to try hard but her 1500m the other night wouldnt even rank in the top 5 performances for an u17 girl
Wow a 10k/Half marathon runner who is planning to move up to the marathon in the coming years is not elite at a middle distance race.
Who could have possibly foreseen this.
yeah it’s hardly surprising that some people are suited to certain events over others. I imagine Usain Bolt’s half marathon PB is nothing special and Kipchoge 100m is not elite. It’s very rare you get somebody like Ingebritsen or in the YouTube sphere someone likes Nick Bester who is class (or has the potential to be class) over distances across the whole spectrum. Nick absolutely smashed a recent 3000 & 5000m race despite being a sub 2:20 marathoner and not even starting his ultra career yet - a distance which is his ultimate strength probably!
So do we think RantoJapan has signed a pro deal (or something similar of sorts?)
Latest video says he's gone to Seattle for "International business" and to fulfil one of his dreams - he's always stated that going pro was one of them.
Aren't Brooks based in Seattle? Missed opportunity for Mizuno or Asics to not sign him up what with the Japanese connection.
Japanese companies tend to be very stingy and conservative, often not to their benefit... penny smart, pound foolish (I think him not being Japanese would also be a factor).
You have to understand, that they can usually only have 1 foreign runner in an ekiden race. A team might have 2-3, but they can really only race one. The others are backups. They are also usually restricted to the shortest section of the race.
Finally Kofuzi is open about selling his soul to the devil. He's just done a short on how he used Klarna (lies), to get all his recent Nike shoes.
Shilling for a predatory lender is the lowest I've seen any runtuber go. I mean I dislike Rinna, but that's not putting people in financial distress into long term debt at massive interest rates. Lost any remaining respect for Kofuzi.
We should keep a list of shoetubers / runfluencers who have pimped themselves out for Klarna to make a quick buck. I'll start:
-Kofuzi
-Nick Bester
-Samantha Mac
-Pursuit of Performance (Rob Dalto)
All great chaps in their own way but shilling predatory-style lending (when you will literally run through a pair of shoes before finishing paying for them) is beneath them and stooping incredibly low as far as paid partnerships go.
Koinfuzi is rightly being called out in the comments on his YouTube short supporting Klarna. Throw in his previous remarks about not making a Sydney series unless he was paid to do and he's a shadow of what he once was.

$ellout woke progressive shilling for a shiny new tech company that is just a pretty face for a payday lender are my favorite flavor of hypocrite. As a liberal when people like Kofuzi complain about Trump, I say, "You want to know why he won? Look in the mirror."

Woke progressives who anonymously troll and frequent message boards like LetsRun are my favourite flavo(u)r of hypocrite. As a centrist when people like ShoeTubersHaveNoEthics complain about Trump, I say "You want to know why he won? Look in the mirror."
heard BenIsDNFing has a stressie, im awaiting the emotional video and go fund me page to pay his mortgage for his 1 bed shed on the council estate.
no doubt he'll be off to kenya to sit on an exercise for 2 months again while his strange girlfriend is left at home to toothbrush clean his trainer collection and multi wash his skidmarked shorts

Can you idiots keep the politics out of this thread?

For the last two weeks he's been doing rehab for hamstring tendonitis, where did you hear he had a stress fracture? Doesn't really make sense as he's had a couple of down weeks with biking etc. so unless you are saying his hamstring pain was actually a stress fracture, think it's just the tendonitis. He will be shilling extra hard but, in fairness, he is the sole breadwinner for he and his gf so injuries are bad news, really not good for his YouTube business.

Having no empathy and enjoying the suffering of others (no maters how small or big that suffering is) is not a good trait to have. Sociopathic possible
Are there any YouTube accounts from generously breasted female runners?? I think I would find that perspective quite interesting and unique.
There are tons on TikTok. These young women literally post reels of getting ready to go run, running in a job bra, and then a plate of food or some sort of protein shake or smoothie -- that's pretty much the content.
the amount of glazing on floberg's new video (and all of them for that matter) is insane. i realize maybe myself and others here are more cynical people than normal..but i truly do not understand how so many people are obsessed with their favorite runfluencer and write such mushy comments sucking up to them and saying they just put out the most epic video in the world. it's borderline scary how attached people are to floberg, philly, ben, etc. to each their own but like...IATA or are the fans of these youtubers probably a bit off themselves and not normal lol..? its probably me but man i cannot get over what some people comment on these videos as if their lives have been changed by a normal person filming themselves at a race
There's a number of reasons. Sycophantic new youtubers want you, or the person who posted the content, to notice their post and then head over to their channel to drive engagement. They did this on Blogger for ages so it's nothing new. That, and some of the comments are fake and posted by bots for sure.
Just seen Nick Besters latest Strava post. Another fascinating look behind the scenes of a pro runners training. So Nick has been self coached for years (and still got a sub 2:20 marathon!) but now has a coach.
the coach has asked him to do his easy runs at 4:45/km to 5:00/km (Nick has always done them at 4:05 > 4:20 for reference) . I kid you not , just looked at the running data via Strava and his average heart rate was 105bpm at that pace!
Firstly - wow - that’s incredible levels of fitness but wondered opinions here. Is that HR actually too low for easy runs and is Nick right over his coach that he should be running them faster? Or his is coach right to make him run at that speed despite being in zone 1?
Would be very cool if Bester gets even quicker in the marathon with his new coach. To rival the likes of Otteson, RTJ, Ryan Scottish man, Cole and Linkleter times as the top marathon YouTuber
