🙄 Free weather apps, dudes with tree trunk legs, New York chefs and flavor, inaccurate elevation maps on a race website. It’s always something beyond poor Seth’s control and his Dollar General approach.
Dude is a loser. A pretentious loser masquerading as an everyman’s running hero. This has been going on for years now.
I don't get how being 35mn ahead of François' time 3 summits in makes any sense. He started all-out and blew up, drank unfiltered water from streams..what a train wreck.
English is not my native language, but I think I understand it quite well. Still, I have to use subtitles to make out Ryan's accent. 😆 Great channel though!
Not really sure what the point of this new hype feature is on YouTube but I’m certainly gonna use my 3 hypes to big up the best running influencers.
RanToJapan has one of my hypes on lockdown pretty much. Unless he doesn’t upload one of the hypes is going his way.
MARM is very likely to get one of the remaining two. He has the most British sense of humour, genuinely a very funny man. His podcast with Andy is also a very good listen. Hope it continues to grow in popularity. Goldie on the guitar hopefully gets FOD on at some point.
The final Hype is therefore up for grabs. There’s not really any American YouTubers likely to get it. Although I don’t mind Adam Wood or Ottesons videos too much.
So it’s likely to be a straight fight between the running brooms and FOD for the final one. Just seem very likeable and give actual sensible running advice. Don’t take themselves too seriously either. I think if Tim Grose brings back his YouTuber round up features he’d be in with a shot too. Hoping he has a Berlin, Chicago, Valencia YouTuber marathon prediction video coming out soon too… CrownMyRun another who may get the nod if a particularly good video is uploaded.
Mark Hookway has the best channle - weekly preview and coverage of all races, he is the DON
cant really get into Run To Japan - cant relate to the Japanese market/lifestyle. he doesnt seem to have any sort of plan, just drills himself with mileage but doesnt seem to target any big races or performances. seems to just smash everything and occasionally something decent will pop out
Agree about Mark Hookway. It's not classic YT story-telling. But it's great stuff. A new way. Maybe it's the old way. Zero trials and tribulations with Mark. BTW. Reading Let's Run for over 20 years now. And this is my first ever post.

You guys think the Global Runner will break 2:30 in NYC.
good honest approach to training and da YouTube
He seems a decent guy. Amazing times at the shorter distances, closing in on Canadian age records, but can he hold it together for a marathon? He seems to have struggled with the longer distance on his last few attempts
I’d like to see Bester concentrate more on the ultra scene now. Feel that’s ultimately where his raw talent lies. Future comrades winner and placing well at UTMB if he takes it seriously. Heard it here first
I've followed many marathon plans, read many books and watched many training videos and I've never known a runner run so little actual marathon pace than Floberg since he's been with BPN.
I guess the BPN coaching works for the juices "hybrid" athletes only
Looks like he did 3x1.5mi in the morning but was supposed to do 6 so did another 3 in the afternoon. If done at true ~HMP that doesn't seem like a bad marathon session, of course he split it in half and did both halves probably a little fast so mixed bag.
Agreed that his LRs seem very confusing. WTF is a guy who wants to break 2:30 doing running 20@7:50 this late in the build? I'm aiming for like 2:45ish and my "easy" longs are 7:30 at the slowest. And I've only done 1 easy LR in the last 6 weeks
The guy is meant to be a coach himself (well he charges people silly money to give them second hand coaching he's either stolen from Jeff or Pfitz) and he looks at his workout day in his 100 mile week and doesn't question it? He hasn't a clue what he's doing

I hope for the best and wish him success, but maybe he should have picked an easier course.
He may have chosen it because it's the world age group championships.
Personally if I'm really tuned in for a time I'd rather find a smaller race. One you can warm up and get straight to the start line.
I've had nothing but bad experiences at huge events, having to be in area A 2 hours before start, then moves to area B and hour before start and standing around waiting, getting cold
He didn't get permission the time he was running Boston. BAA was going to make a big deal of it, then Kofuzi announced he was going to donate his ad sense revenue (but not appearance fee revenue, so selfless) to charity to cut them off. It was a cynical use of charity to forestall criticism, and is when I started to really not like Kofuzi.
I'm convinced this is the real reason he now says and replies in comments (somewhat often) he won't run Boston again. He used to loosely frame it as providing other qualifiers who barely made the cut-off a better chance of getting in but that's obviously just a smoke screen to conceal his entitlement and grudge against the BAA.

that awful robotic style aint holding up for ultras. hes to big and heavy to do well. UTMB, are u on crack? the mans scared to leave Battersea Park and avoids any hill to make his strava splits sexy for all the horny housewives he has on speedial
I agree. His London video showed how dangerous and selfish the whole selfie stick thing is. Maybe the enhanced games can have an influencer division in the Marathon, and he can run with his selfie stick next to Choi's bike brigade.
Berlin Marathon is 37.5 hours away. Are we ready for all of our favorite shoetubers and runfluencers to overwhelm our timelines with excuses similar to London 2025? I'm already seeing people making excuses about the "heat" on Sunday. Weather for most runners will be 19-22C and overcast. Expect some crying DNF's and major blowups.
