Who right now is the best running vlogger OR podcaster?

I've not seen many in this space, but in recent months, I've started to watch Allie Ostrander's on YouTube and I've found it inspiring and entertaining and fascinating to see what a pro does in their training blocks and to get ready for and what it was like to run in a national championship race OR even a local turkey trot. It's not all sunshines and rainbows, either, as if you watch far back enough you find her struggling with injuries and how as a HS star and NCAA champ she struggled with an eating disorder.

In short, she comes across as very authentic and anyone into running can easily related with her training ups/downs, with a cast of friends and family that matches very much running culture. It's so much better than just people who are trying to be an influencer first and a runner, second.

Still, my biggest gripe while watching is all the product placement that can seem heavy handed although it's perhaps understandable because that's how these content creators help support themselves (She even has a video explaining how much money she made in the past year from the YT part of it to supplement her pro career).

Anyway, whether you like her or not if you've see it (I'm obviously recommending and would nominate her as one of the best currently), who else out there is worth watching AND/OR who do you think is the best?
