The Top 5 Running Youtube Channels To Help You Become A Better Runner and Person
“The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life.”
1. Clayton Young
Olympic marathoner Clayton Young has a completely dope video team filming him for Asics. His channel features fantastic documentaries on his build for the 2024 Paris Olympics and his most recent build for the Boston Marathon. Clayton is such a refreshing athlete and person in the age of Instagram athletes and personalities. He’s a true high level professional athlete as well as a true high level person. Asics is making extremely high quality videos on his running journey.
“I do it because I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn’t.”
2. Eric Floberg
Videographer Eric Floberg makes running sub 2:40 marathons, fatherhood, career and just being a decent guy look casual. His honesty is undeniable. The guy pounds out miles. Miles on the treadmill, miles in the cold and miles for a purpose. He’s also a great storyteller as evidenced by his fantastic documentary on runner and photographer Joe Greer. Just like Clayton Young, Floberg is so refreshing in our culture.
3. Sova Running
Cole Hocker and Cooper Teare are pure comedy and pure running savages at the same time. They’ll casually chat about shoes and then go out and rip sub 13 minute world standards. They are currently training with Team Sova in Blacksburg, Virginia and have a lazer focus on breaking records and winning. We all know about Cole Hocker but getting to know the hilarious character of Cooper Teare is worth watching every video on Team Sova’s channel. They are great athletes and their channel, just like their running, is just getting better and better.
4. David Roche
David Roche shocked the running world by crushing a 19-year record at the Leadville 100 in 2024. He’s a mad scientist runner that believes in himself deeply. With a foundation on precise fueling, Roche calculates that exact pace he needs to run to destroy records and win 100 milers. His youtube channel is now documenting his training for the Western States 100 in June. There he’ll mostly take on Kylian Jornet and show the world what he can do, or what he can’t do. All I know is, I’ll be watching. David’s a true ambassador for running, highly intelligent and an absolute monster of a runner.
5. Marcus Milione
Marcus Milione and his brother Shawn have steadily grown their brand via TikTok and their company Minted New York. What’s refreshing about Marcus is his complete unwavering work ethic and drive to be his best. Whether working on his company or training, Marcus pounds out miles and work. He and Shawn personally fulfill and box Minted New York orders in a warehouse in New York. They’ll run 15 miles at 5:30 am in the snow on the streets of New York and then spend the entire day working with suppliers, building their company and just flat out working really hard. It’s a great youtube channel and inspiration to runners and entrepreneurs.
