[@aspectgaming4528]

Yo what about that AkaNumbers guy XD

[@FrankLy-oy2bi]

trp is the WORST running channel bar none. how many times can you loop the same 3 clips with voiceover that should fail a us citizenship test if writing coherent english script mattered.

[@aspectgaming4528]

@FrankLy-oy2bi omg this guy gets it

[@EmirBalali]

Oh man honored to make GOAT status (I'm old now!). Hard to keep up with all you fast young whippersnappers these days! Keep it up 🙌!

[@SeeChadRun]

Haha! Well earned Sage.

[@musclelessfitness2045]

You're one of the OGs for sure. I've been a fan since 2010-2011.

[@trenthorton9532]

Sage, you had KZbin GOAT status before most of the guys running these channels were out of High School!

We need a "Registered Speedophile" tier just for Jake.

[@maxsmith4234]

YES

[@Kindnessthroughhistory]

Justice for runnerboi. Best history running content. Iykyk

[@Nathanws3]

No

[@cubecrew123]

so true

[@wisforwinner]

Absolutely

[@magnito5982]

Facts he's my favorite running channel probably

[@SpiritTheGhoul.]

I love runnerboi

[@terryfoster1821]

One that should definitely have been mentioned as well is Göran Winblad

[@thisisme2681]

Yes, he's awesome!

[@evandempsey7613]

Göran is the absolute GOAT of running videos.

[@jimmybondy9450]

I like him too. Also a funny English he speaks. 🙂

[@SpiritTheGhoul.]

Love that guy

[@mariahybinette5376]

Goran is fantastic!! Kanon!

[@mylesr4201]

Yaseen Abdalla deserves Goat Status. Informative, entertaining, and funny commentary. Super solid advice. Super solid runner.

[@SamNeil-s5z]

So valid. Yaseen abdalla in my opinion is one of the best running KZbinrs rn. And as well as being a good KZbinr he is insane at running.

[@mylesr4201]

@SamNeil-s5z ikr, he debuted the Marathon at the Olympics and finished 33rd out of 81 athletes. And the Marathon is one of his worse distances.

[@brodywebb_xctrack]

Real bruh. My jaw dropped when he put him at has potential

[@justanotherguyonyoutube2621]

Naw yaseen needs to be in goat status although he doesn’t post like crazy

[@rolandleslie2564]

He’s the only KZbinr ill watch commentate a 10k that I’ve already watched live

[@samuelbuzek9321]

Göran Winblad and Ran To Japan are my favourite running youtubers, both goats honestly

[@onlineo2263]

Ran to Japan definitely the 2nd best running channel. Crown my run however is the best by far!

[@rowanmullan1690]

Absolutely all 3 of these are brilliant but RanToJapan wins my vote.

[@evandempsey7613]

Those guys are my number 1 and 2 running channels respectively, legends walking amongst us.

[@kemalluxia8305]

My favourite is ran to Japan he's training and race while vlog is perfect. He is goated and fast

[@GeorgeRow]

Stephen Scullion should be up one level in the GOAT category! He has run a 2:09 Marathon, posts great content with training advice and his own training and racing. He really has a broad spectrum of content for Marathon specialists.

[@DMGC529]

But he’s not American so he can’t be good

[@vrabiecatalin5863]

Same opinion

[@myxomycete6373]

Word! Love that guy

[@JaySizz]

Nah. He repeats himself and stagnates too much. 4/5 but def not 5.

[@Jake_Ritter]

Track all access in “has potential” is criminal

[@jameshegeman5660]

💯. Absolutely. Track All Access is a game changer.

[@magnito5982]

Facts bro I mean that's the opitome of quality content

[@chinter]

but.. it literally has potential to be sooooo much better

[@peternicholas4750]

Ran To Japan and FilmMyRun both absolute goats

“Here’s this dude, never heard of her, never watched any of his content but based on his subscriber count I’m gonna throw him in a random category.” Sick bro

[@anelkaisgood2]

This was the video 😍😍🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joshuahopper1823]

Great tier list-loved seeing some of my favorite creators here! That said, I was surprised not to see Brock Kelly, Nico Filich, and Floberg mentioned. They create extraordinary running content and definitely deserve a spot. Maybe for the next list?

[@KidCodyRunning]

No @GöranWinblad is crazy! Definitely one of my favorites

[@markgames7913]

you forgot Goran Winbland

[@ericpelletier7721]

I knew many would mention Göran Winblad and I agree. He has a good mix of informative entertaining videos. Absolutely love his content. I would also throw The running channel in the lot. A really great running channel with multiple faces. They have all types of videos out there, from textbook explanation to cool challenges.

[@joemathewson4198]

Josh Kerr. Retire for putting that stupid ass cybertruck in his thumbnail on his first video.

[@molochz]

I disliked him anyway but that sealed the deal for me.

[@anoukherrington4432]

Justice for Jumpman, fast on his way to being the GOAT

[@silvermandavid]

Believe In The Run, The Running Channel, 5 Miles Easy, Aubrey Running, 5 Miles Easy, Doctors of Running, Fordy Runs, Nobody Asked Us with Des & Kara, Midlife Runner, All Heart Run Club, Hannah Rose Irwin, Floris Gierman, Run Like Heller, Messy Happy. I know you can't know everyone, but you're missing a lot.

[@ACs946]

yup

[@Drg24800]

Don’t forget Yowana!

[@SeeChadRun]

Messy Happy is a great! Love their channel!

[@FlaminalLow]

You forgot 5 Miles Easy

[@kevinr89596]

It really surprised me he didn't put THE RUNNING CHANNEL.

[@chrispotter6847]

Actually Crown my run is pretty entertaining as 3 brothers constantly going for PBs and loads of parkruns, 10k, HM. They aren’t the quickest but they are all slightly different pace and a lot of people can relate to the way they run. Funny content due to the voiceovers!

[@Jockuptown]

bruh the voiceovers are elite. some of the best running content around IMO

[@BruceWayne-us3kw]

Ben Parkes makes good content.

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

ThisMessyHappy has some great content. Very different than anything you normally see just because of where they live.

[@Andynomous_SWE]

I second this, also a nice feel good vibe about them.

Yep, long ThisMessyHappy.

Track All Access isn’t “Has Potential” or even “Quality Content”. You need a separate category, “Insane, Unbelievable Content” for TAA.

100% agreed. I want to see a 10k road race Allie vs Phily….. Daniel is the best video editor around…. Can’t choose between Georgie and Phily and Daniel’s cat for cutest pet. I might spend a bit too much time watching YT running channels..

[@IssieAndLife]

Allie’s 10K PB is nearly 30 seconds faster than Phily’s, but I think Phily’s is more recent. I’m here for this showdown!

[@T1MB05L1C3]

When it gets to the point where you’re convinced his post on Kiptum’s passing was clickbait, you know it’s bad

[@ari7gam77]

Bro is so humble. You’re definitely the GOAT Spence. You been on the KZbin game for a really long time, and you post some amazing running content.

[@chinter]

Olympic Heptathlete Chari Hawkins has the absolute BEST running drill shorts. She deserves a spot somewhere.

[@adrunner9]

I didn’t know a lot of these channels existed, definitely agree about Phily. Great video!

[@kellenkraft8304]

Eric floberg has a great KZbin channel. Awesome production as I think he is a film guy professionally. Good content especially being a “normal” guy who has built up over the years to a very respectable marathon time and shares the whole journey. Also made a pretty awesome running documentary.

[@jordanweers7916]

wish you did the running channel and jog on (uk) but i get it if you choose individual's instead of doing group channels but the list was amazing

[@jimmywu5924]

You should check out those UK KZbinrs - they are really good!

[@bakedbeans198]

Surprised you didn't include Jeremy Miller or Nico Felich. Andrew Snow, Lee Grantham, and Yowana are crazy underrated as well.

[@garrettjohnstonn]

Yowana is goat status 🐐🐐

[@jo_cho]

there's only so many yt channels you can remember tbh.

[@Thespecificgeneralist]

Lee is a recent discovery of mine. Rate highly!!

Having Noah Lyles but no Kenny Bednarek on here is CRAZYYYY. Also, massive shout-out *Jumpman,* *Runnerboi* and *The Final Leg* for their great content!

[@GarbageGamer-fz8tz]

Niko young, cougar distance, and Evan runs are goated KZbinrs that I really think should’ve been apart of the tier list

[@remcodejong9149]

[@oethcrom1]

L&L in has potential is crazy, respectfully. They have such a massive impact for high school and younger runners.

Fun list, definitely subscribed to a couple of channels. I've always been a huge Kofuzi fan as I feel like I'm a similar runner as him.

[@Daviddiff4]

Ginger Runner for OG status

[@rajmathew6220]

I was hoping Lee Grantham would be one of them. Love his channel.

[@rolandhoward8421]

Elliot Giles channel is fun plus amazing journey this year to Paris 24 and setting World Road mile record (of sorts).

[@settlers33]

Excellent review! I've seen everyone of these stations at one point or another. Just watch about 5 consistently

[@ShaneKelliher]

Cici runner is the absolute goat. First running KZbin video I ever watched (cross country tips), and largely I have to thank him for getting me into running from the start.

[@kimaboe]

Poor brits :P I follow the Bens and they both have very positive, high quality content. They are both marathon focused, but Felton (Ben is Running) also does a lot of track races and XC.

[@ellenmoeller]

This was great! I only follow you, Allie, Clayton and Phily. Lots more to follow now!!!

[@leahmcdermott4189]

No hate at all and I get that you’re from the US, but what’s up with you not really watching any British channels just because you’re from the US? I’m British and I’m familiar with 99% of the US channels you rated here, cause I’m into running, regardless of region. Sometimes, I can barely understand what some of them are saying due to the strong accents and different dialect but I still enjoy these channels. Nick Bester & Ben Running is definately GOATED over in the UK. Nick is amazing! Check out his content 😅

[@singeylhendup1440]

100% - not sure how he could rate any of the UK channels when he has never watched most of them. Kinda ruined the video and should have just stuck to the channels he knew

[@DMGC529]

Phily Bowman, John Heymans, Morgan McDonald, Fogdog, Steve Magness, Sweat Elite, Ben is Running, The Distance Project etc etc…….these are just a few channels, mostly not American, that are better quality than most of the channels on this guys one eyed American list.

[@Jockuptown]

tbh i think his predictions for the UK guys were pretty accurate even if he doesnt watch them ben is running, ben parks and phily are all the best UK YT running channels IMO so philly should be goated, content is always different, fresh and there's a sense of journey you get taken along if you follow them. stephen and nick are probably next, stephen is such a breath of fresh air content wise, the mans monologues about just being honest with yourself and the work and what you put in and your expectations for results is well worth it, ive mentally just learned so much from listening to him. Nick is great but id argue the content is a bit stale, tips are kinda mid usually just rehashing the same stuff youll find everywhere, the workout videos and races are okay but i reckon the goated guys just present races better id also argue crown my run is more interesting to listen to while watching him race than Nick is. FOD i actually watch alot, i dunno why, guy is interesting to me. i think i relate to his struggles with training alot and he tends to enjoy the same shoes i do so i rate his reviews. I still think given the content hes appropriately placed on the list tho.

[@leahmcdermott4189]

@@Jockuptown I get what you’re saying and fair enough, everyone will have different opinions. I really love Nick and his content. But regardless, I stand by my original comment. Not sure why he’d put them in the video and give a rating when he doesn’t even know who they are. I think it’s a big trash that he doesn’t watch any UK runners just because he’s American 🥴

[@mystro_tony]

Ben Parkes as Goat status is valid he has amazing content.

Woah the fact you don’t know Nick bester is absolutely nuts!!! At bare minimum he should be sitting in quality content!! Super consistent, super reliable, super nice guys and very motivating and knowledgeable !!!

[@johnwardlaw6204]

Surprised you didn’t make a mention of the trail guys like Tom Evans, Billy Yang, The Ginger Runner or Jamil Coury. Jamil, TGR and Billy Yang have been making videos for more than 10 years at this point. While technically triathlon content, I’d put Lionel Sanders in there just because he’s been at the content game for forever too. Nice mention for Welsh Runner as he’s a really fast guy (something like 2:24 marathoner) and saved a guy at the London Marathon a few years ago

[@AMostlyFunctionalJess]

It's interesting to see which UK runningtubers have managed to expand beyond a mostly UK focused audience. Maybe one of your new years resolutions can be each month to watch 5 videos from the back catalogue of a running youtuber you know very little or nothing about! I'll join the other people in the comments reccomending Göran Winblad and Ran to Japan. Excellent channels.

[@gregorypetka8799]

I compare them all to Allie and Spencer, and so far i found they are the Goats of all time the way they treat us like genuine friends, and show lowlights to highlights, and Georgie for comedy relief, the rest all too serious, been in the running game for 40+ years but never made it past HS CIF finals status, It wasnt really a job back then, but then again true elites are just on another level. Cheers for ideas to watch. i watch about 10% of these

[@RDRuns]

No runnerboi or SDHJ is crazyyyy

[@PiestewaPeak]

Goran Winblad, Run steep get high, Mountain high life?

[@MichaelMiller-wn4yf]

One of my favorites is a UK professional runner (not a Top Teir athlete), Hannah Rose Irwin. She has a small KZbin channel and her videos typically get fewer than 10,000 views. One thing I noticed about the "Should Post More" those were all top runners, with Hobbs Kessler part of VNTC in MI. I'm thinking they don't want to reveal too many to their workouts? Would Allie be less open about her training program once/when she becomes a national champion, or qualifies for the World Champs or Olympics?

[@musclelessfitness2045]

GOAT is one, not 8. It should be VO2Max productions

[@klipk7296]

TLDW "He has a large audience so he's probably good, god tier" "I don't really know him but a lot of you seem to, so quality content tier" "I've heard of this guy and I can see that he has a lot of videos, goat tier"

[@ComradeXs]

Goran Winblad and Lachlan Earshaw should be in there tbh

[@cicirunner]

Yeah I should retire! It’s hard to make videos long term unless you can evolve your content or make content not dependent on your own running results.

[@AmyIous-f8p]

Omg I used to watch cicirunner back when I was a freshman in high school! Been many many years since then and surprised you know about him!
