What is there to write about running? As it turns out, quite a bit—so much that easily half a dozen excellent blogs didn't make this list. The aim here was to reach as many corners of the running blogosphere as possible, which meant leaving out plenty of athlete blogs, a first-rate exercise-science blog, and more blogs than we can keep track of about the competitive side of the sport. And that's not even counting Alex Hutchinson's Sweat Science blog or Pete Larson's Runblogger—certainly two of the finest running blogs around—which made our list of best fitness blogs instead. If you enjoy running anywhere as much as we do, these 10 blogs should keep your RSS feed humming well into the new year.

How was Will Run For Food not included on this list????
Flag ThisI'M WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL A TRACK GEEK, AND I'VE NEVER HEARD OF MOST OF THOSE BLOGS. WILL RUN FOR FOOD, LE BLOG DU ROB, AND EATRUNSWAG DEFINITELY DESERVE SPOTS ON THIS LIST, NOT RUNNING TECHNIQUE TIPS.
Flag ThisAgreed! WRFF is awesome
Flag Thisi too have not heard of most of these sites. how did u come up with this list? i l<3 Outside.
Flag Thisantonkrupicka.blogspot.com ! Great blogger and mountain runner
Flag ThisExtreme athlete Marshall Ulrich's blog, which is about more than running but includes a lot of unusual running insights, strategies, etc. http://www.marshallulrich.com/blog/
Flag ThisRunning Technique Tips, I have heard of - Will Run For Food? Never heard of until he/she started complaining here of not being included on the list. Pretty obvious when you post as "Will Run For Food"? Sour grapes, anyone?
Flag ThisI love Will Run For Food. As a running blogger I am pretty on top of the running blogs and agree with Will, I haven't heard of most of these. I do love iRunfar. I love Predawnrunner and Ultrarunnergirl as well. All of that being said, it is a subjective list. My site is not going to teach you how to run, nor will it tell you how to properly fuel, but it will make you want to lace up your running shoes and get it done. No sour grapes here though. I appreciate the opportunity to search out more sites I have never read before. BTW, mine is http://www.annsrunningcommentary.com
Flag ThisHi, www.trailrunningreview.comn for the shoes.
Flag ThisWhile it is useful to have an English language site about running in Japan, the guy who writes Japan Running News will only post your comments if you agree with him. If you offer a differing opinion on any topic regarding Japanese running, you will be blocked from posting comments. This is not professional journalism.
Flag ThisJason, only three of the blogs on this list are run by professional journalists. I must say that I'm skeptical of your charge that Brett deletes and bans dissenting commenters. There are several differing opinions in the comments section even right now.
Flag ThisAside from Coach Jay Johnson, this list is pretty bad

Flag ThisOf course there are a lot of other great blogs about running. lets just post them here in the comments. so everybody can have a look and maybe your favorite blog is in the top 0 next year. I think you should look at mij favorite blog. www.sweatscience.com from Alex Hutchinson
Flag Thishttp://sub15minutes.blogspot.com/ These guys are a couple of MD/PhD students who run workouts submitted by blog viewers and then record them on video. They are trying to break 15 minutes for 5k.
Flag ThisI'm new to the blog world, I love seeing what other people put out there. Despite our differences on what makes a "good" blog and what doesn't... at least we all love to read and write about the same thing, right? I say read on, write on, and run on. Maybe give mine a peek . . . www.runjulierun.com
