Maybe Sage prohibits his athletes from using certain substances. (I think 2/3 of the big YouTube world is doping. We can thank Matt Foxx, the only YouTuber who makes Kofuzi look good, for that trend).
I think the % of Doping Running YT'ers is much lower and from my POV would never think a fit guy running 2.40 or slower would be doping - no need for anyone who puts in the work over long enough timescale, unless they've got really bad endurance genes. There's one sub 2.30 YTer (not from USA) whose PB profile which gave him a big financial boost it would seem always looked odd
Depends on age. Kofuzi is in his mid 40s as is Floberg. 2:40 at that age is much different than 2:40 at 27.
Presenting yourself as an authority on something you’ve gained zero understanding of = complete lack of integrity. At least leave it to those that have some REAL ability to review tools of the trade and techniques that brought them there.

Given how many of the runtubers which are disliked nowadays, it feels like there is a window for someone likable to get some views.
The problem is that they all were quite likable until they got some fame and then let that get to their heads. Looking back at Floberg's videos from one/two years ago is very entertaining.
He doesn't much attention on here, but Goran Winblad seems like a likeable guy.
He gets my vote of approval. Nice and easy to follow along, some informative videos as well like his one on maurten bicarb, no nonsense. Not sure if he'll ever be in solo 8:50 3k TT shape again but regarless, it's hard not to like him

I am no Kofuzi fan and think he is the biggest sellout in the running YouTube "community" but accusing him of doping is ridiculous.
People said the same thing about Master's runners who tested positive recently. Running 5 marathons in 6 months 3:44 Chicago, 3:33 New York, 3:04 CIM, 2:56 Tokyo, 3:04 Boston) is absolutely not normal for runners in their 40s...
This is turning into, I am faster or was faster why did I not have all this free stuff jealous instead of what it was originally about of calling out YouTuber for misrepresentation.
Most did start out learning to run and picked up by brand and not a lot of them are not charting their running journey but are full time marketers like Kofuzi (who was a pole vaulter)

The guy runs consistent moderately high milage and does a lot of resistance training. Running is also basically a part-time job for him. That's not a crazy feat for someone that age off of that type of training. There's absolutely no reason to suspect Kofuzi is doping.
Many people in that Marathon Maniacs club travel around the country doing stuff like that every weekend. They just don't post YouTube videos about it.

Then what's the point?
Although you're probably being intentionally dense and trolling, there is absolutely nothing sensational about what Kofuzi is doing that would suggest the need to dope or that he is doping. Hundreds of people in Marathon Maniacs routinely do significantly more than what Kofuzi did on the regular. Another example would be the people in groups like Marathon Pacers. Some of those guys pace marathons many times a year on top of the marathons they race.
Nothing I've written is meant to diminish what Kofuzi has done as a runner. He's run respectable times, but to suggest he's doping is silly.

Suggesting those times are respectable is what’s silly. His times are typical middle-age, off the couch hobby jogger – esk. Making videos about running should not be something he’s doing. Leave it to those who have a clue.
