Ben Is Running on youtube is good, smart and fit marathoner who has a lot of practical advice. I like his kenyan core workouts

Sweatelite

good and influencer are mutually exclusive terms

Certified Health Nut is honesty awesome. Much respect to Certified Health Nut 🙏

I guess the thing is that all the decent youtube channels are pro athletes. Your general running influencers dont create quality content

The Athlete Special. He is the greatest runner on the planet and he is going to win 2024 paris 1500 final. He is so quirky and aesthetic.

Ben refuses to get a coach, avoids training consistently with his team/group, gives bad advice (like telling a 12yo on his podcast to do 3 marathons in 6months), refuses to listen to advice from a friend of his who is a pro athlete and instead falls into the trap of trying to perform for the camera and for content ideas, which not only becomes very repetitve on his channel but directly negatively impact his training and health. He also has copied a number of content ideas from other channels and co-hosts a podcast where he talks about elite athletics news but has to constantly admit he doesnt know very much about the topics because he's not very clued in and just makes constant factual mistakes.

Moral of the story: don't quite your day job to chase being a youtuber when you've barely been running very long and dont have a good grasp of the sport. You just make a mockery of it all.

Definitely agree that pros are my personal favorite running "influencers," as those are basically the only running accounts I follow. I've been watching Elliot Giles youtube channel recently and love the way he's broken down his heavy crosstraining regime and recently documented his attempts to up his mileage and challenge for medals!

What I like about guys like Thewoodsrun and Runnerhabs were they were both guys I'd never heard of until I got their reels on my feed but it was cool to see guys who weren't pro level talents go after a marathon OTQ and try to make a go of running after college. Maybe I'm just trying to fill The Athlete Special sized hole in my running content because Spencer has totally fallen off for a while now. Coming across someone who's a decent runner but nothing spectacular and seeing them make break throughs is one thing I think running social media is really cool for. Just unfortunate most people just want to post BS about training trends or chase a BQ while being a "hyrbid athlete" who can crank out 5 pull ups looking like a freshly landed fish.

TheRunner is probably the best

All the influencers with a selfie stick taking you through their long run saying, “mile 1–823, mile 2–804, mile 3–817, etc”

There’s really only one:

The Legendary Elizabeth Clor.🥇

Can someone explain why Ben Felton not training with a group is bad? Also what sort of stuff does he do that is detrimental to his training? It looks like he puts in big quality weeks from his strava.

I'm not saying because I agree or disagree btw, I'm just wondering because I don't know enough ^^

Robhooprunning is on a few different platforms. mostly enjoy his youtube vlogging

it's the only correct answer. i would kill myself before I called myself THAT word

and all you dweebs replying seriously to this are part of the problem. stop watching these losers and they won't exist. focus on yourself!
