Anyone watch Donato? He's a really good British masters runner

Good runner. Wanker of a person as discussed earlier in thread.

Only just started watching him. What has he done as a person to say that?

I'm pretty sure that Thomas just inadvertently dropped the fact that Boston banned Kofuzi for filming on the course (????) in their latest podcast (@14:50)... SO THAT's why Ko keeps saying he doesn't want to run it any more (not because he wants other people who qualify but don't make the cut off to get their chance to run). Man, such a snake-y move if true. At least Matt Choi (who is also mentioned as banned from NYC during the convo) owns the fact that he violated the rules. 🐍

How do people listen to this garbage?

What direction does Mr. Floberg's channel take in 2026? It it follow the same formula, or does he branch off into ultras, trails or "hybrid running" perhaps?

BITR is a great hate watch/listen. Much like the goat sjd got too full of himself in 2020-22ish, Floberg and BITR are doing the same. They are cocky and delusional af, gonna be fun to see the downfall. Thomas, robbie, wide Jared, and trail Taylor suck at running. Can’t wait to see them fail in nyc this week. Now that Seth has been humbled I want him to come back!

Didn't Seth finish 2nd at this year's Pike Peak's ascent. How is that being humbled?

running youtube is the biggest cesspit. Anyone with an actual personality could break into this space easily and destroy the current boring channels.
