Just punched him into the search bar to check it out... no thanks. Just another attention whore youtuber.

Then there is Emma who is selling products, but she is hot ,so that is the only reason I would watch her You Channel. Who do you think is the best?
What is with the recent Emma is hot? Especially when Gwen is disgusting? Gwen gets my vote any day.
Kofuzi is probably relatable ea lot of the YouTube crowd. I always skip the last minutes of his videos where he donates to a charity runner.
I have been enjoying the tinman elite stuff that has been coming out recently.

I am amazed at how many people start youtube channels but have nothing to say and little to offer.
I’ve watched much of the garbage that is out there and they fall into a few categories:
1. Self promotion done haphazardly:
I would put gwen jorgensen in this category, where she only wants a youtube following in order to keep or get sponsors, but she doesn’t have a personality that works for me. I don’t wanna watch her make oatmeal, thank you.
2. Self promotion done shamelessly:
Not going to boost name recognition of these whoring types, but when they are do clickbait videos with outrageous or shocking titles, they ultimately get a few extra views longterm but cheapen themselves. Ditto people who do endless shady product promotion.
3. overproduced and overly scripted crap:
This is a matter of preference but i don’t like or want theme songs, excessive montages with music, or phony dramatization. For me, billy yang stuff and ginger runner don‘t work — too overdone.
4. teachy preachy:
How to build mileage; how to stretch your glutes — there are channels that feel like reading old copies of runners world.
Good on youtube (very subjective):
1. mtn outhouse and jamil coury anything:
The hayden versus hawks video is good stuff in my book. His wkly „news“ is serious but not overly serious.
2. chris mocko:
Has a personality, and has funny things to say. Not everyone‘s cuppa tea, but my cuppa tea for sure. Fart jokes done well! (Assuming you believe sucha thing exists.)
3. irunfar:
Interviews with runners after races. By people who are not trying to sound like fancy reporters.
4. gait analysis videos and such:
Whoever posted that jim walmsley gait analysis video — i luv watching that stuff. Did not make note of the channel name, but will subscribe.
5. whoever does those Analyzing The Greats videos, along with How Fast Can S/he Run videos:
I like them! Fun to watch
That‘s a weird hodgepodge, but that‘s my list.
The “garbage list” basically describes Sage’s videos perfectly .... Completely agree about Mocko - dude has personality and creativity. Sage could learn a thing or two - his videos have the same level of excitement and intrigue as watching grass grow ....
I despise Zach Levet. Dude makes ridiculously long videos for no reason instead of just getting to the point. He’s turning into a Ryan Trahan where he’s just looking to gain subscribers/money. The Athlete Special was much better back in the day but now he just makes excuses when he underperforms. I’ve always liked cicirunner. Sage is only good for when I want to improve my form or something. Emma Abrahamson is washed up and annoying.
It takes a certain type of personality to even think about starting a YouTube channel and uploading videos of yourself running. Imagine setting a camera in the grass and pretending to run past it in the middle of your long run just to show off on YouTube. They’re all egotistical narcissists.
The best running channels imo have always been the ones that have less than 1k subs and are just doing it for fun with their teams. When they get too big, they start to lose that carefree element.

I am 100 percent with you, expect I only watch Emma because she is hot. I could care less about what she says, as for the others you are SPOT ON.
Vegan Broscience is the only channel we need.
Ginger Runner - he's a 5 min mile guy but pretends to be a fat hobby jogger as to not seem elitist.

I mean, he better not go around acting elitist, there would be nothing to back that up. I like his shoe reviews, but he pretty much is a hobby jogger. He does lots of trail runs, so it's hard to hell how fast he really is, but sad as it sounds, I think calling him a 5 minute mile guy is giving him too much credit. Thomas from Believe in the Run is slow AF too.
Easton Allred and Roosey Project are pretty good
Gwen Jorgensen’s channel would be much better if it only featured Stanley and had more drone shots. There is some washed up tri-athlete trying to move up to the ‘thon who hogs most of the time.

Though not strictly running, Lionel Sanders has the best running YouTube channel. Running channels, watch him and take notes.
The athlete special is a good watch. He’s elite enough to have an intriguing story and I am legitimately excited to see how he does as a senior. I don’t understand the knocks on this guy. Everyone who has a YouTube channel has to have some degree of narcissism.
Zach levet doesn’t do anything for me. Hemline athlete special lite.
Ben barrows has good content and there should be more guys like him.
Sage Cannaday’s a smart guy but he’s so long winded when he talks. And his videos look like they could have been made in 2007.
The Tinman Elite channel is a nice up and comer. I mean it’s kind of boring, every video is the same. I get it, they run and work out, travel, eat, sleep, and waste the rest of their time. But the talent of the guys draws intrigue.

ahahahahahahaha stop you're killing me
Weighing in on:
Sage — i like his content. He’s not hilarious. But real.
Ben barrows — i’d watch that. Wasn’t on my radar.
Emma abrahamson — too much hustling for my liking. Wants me to hit “like”, wants me to subscribe, repeats name of her instagram channel, just in case i forgot it the first time. I admire the ambition, but i don’t think the world needs another professional youtuber.
Seth — seems like a decent human, but also seems to want to become a professional you-tuber, and that can make for some tiresome content. Also, i don’t geek out on shoes.
BONUS: florian neuschwander — german language, and doesn’t have many videos, but i totally like him. Looks like a cartoon character. Love his running form. Sense of humor. Thought i’d share!

Agreed, Seth James DeMoor is fantastic ... He is a really strong runner, great communicator, knows his stuff and ... importantly, he is able to create very high quality videos on a daily basis. He's remarkably good at filming, editing, adding music etc. A real one man band.
Total Running Productions hands down.

Somehow that Kofuzi guy in particular has rubbed me the wrong way. He gives out so much wrong information and just isn't a good runner, yet people love his channel mostly because he gets cool camera shots. Pretty annoying.
Exactly. When he used to run only in Nike Pegasus he told that the life time of a shoe pair is 200 mls and after that knee problems will appear. I thought what that means because I had never heard something like that with any shoes. So I bought a pair (Peg 34 that time) and ran 1018K in that pair. After that there was plenty of cushioning left and the shoe looked almost brand new. So I decided to start wearing it casually. We shouldn't take so seriously what people say in those videos. Some people don't know what they are talking about. That's the power of internet that more you bullshit, more money you can make. It's the amount of minutes, not the quality of the content that counts.
