I make running, trail and ultra videos: training plans, honest gear tests and Apple Watch how-tos. I'm an American ultra runner based in Nice, France, and I finished UTMB in 2024 in 34 hours, 40 minutes.
If you make something for running, trail running or ultras, here are the numbers behind the channel and how I work with brands. Email me at running4views@gmail.com.

Most people find my videos through search. 92.4% of lifetime watch time comes from viewers who are not subscribed, and 83.2% of the monthly audience are new viewers, so a video keeps reaching new runners long after it goes live.
Product videos
Gear and tech videos have 49,364 views, about 1 in 6 views on the channel. My most watched video is a product how-to, and it's still finding new viewers almost three years later.

How I work with brands
I test a production unit on my own runs before I agree to a paid video, and the review is my honest opinion. If a product doesn't hold up on my runs, I'll tell you before I make anything.
Paid and gifted videos are always labeled as paid partnerships on YouTube.
Formats and rates
| Format | What you get | Starting rate |
|---|---|---|
| Mention in a video | A 60 to 90 second segment in one of my regular videos | Product plus $50 to $100 |
| Dedicated review | A full video about your product, tested on my own runs first | Product plus $250 to $400 |
| YouTube Short | A short vertical video about one thing the product does well | About $50 |
