**Updated 2018

Did you know that RunToTheFinish started way back in 2007?
Did you know since then I’ve published over 2,000 posts?
Did you know that roughly 2million blog posts go live daily around the world?

Over the many years, I’ve seen many great blogs start and great blogs die and not so great blogs sink before they ever got afloat. It surprises most people to realize just how much goes in to creating content that others will enjoy reading or find valuable. I certainly didn’t start out providing much value! My posts were 100-200 words of blathering about my run with stamp sized photos and Twitter wasn’t even a thing!!

I get asked a lot what other running bloggers or fitness/health related blogs I am a fan of. The truth is two-fold: I don’t read as many blogs as I used to and there are so many wonderful blogs I couldn’t even remember them all!

A few lists that I’m happy to be part of and will guide you in the right direction for finding the best fitness blogs as well.

Looking for a great running blog? Here is a round up of active bloggers!

Scroll down for fitness and healthy food focused bloggers.

Running Bloggers

Clearly this is not an exhaustive list of running blogs, but it should be a list of bloggers who are posting regularly with content that is useful, interesting, funny or motivational with a general focus on running.

I’ve divided the list among those who focus mostly on informational fitness content (similar to RTTF) and those who tend to share mostly updates on running/race reviews and motivation from the see I can relate perspective.

You will notice these are all individual bloggers, not brands like Womens Running or Active.com which obviously also put out running articles.

Informational Style Running Blogs

I’m making no judgements about who is the best running blog, but I  have gone through what’s out there to say these are the one’s I found worth spending time on…the rest, I’ll leave up to you. Unfortunately, each year this list gets smaller and smaller as the number of high quality bloggers seem to drop off because it’s hard to put out tons of great content year after year and find new creative ways to get is seen on social media!

Healthy Eating Bloggers

Running is made better by great food, so I tried to pull out some of the great places I find recipes alongside fitness motivation. You might notice a great deal of RD’s or nutritionists on this list and let’s be honest that’s great news!! It means when they tell you something is sugar free or gluten free or a great recovery snack it really is.

  5. Aw thank you for including me, Amanda! And yes, many of my must-read bloggers are in this list. Great round-up! 🙂

  13. Great list! Thanks so much for including me. I am so excited as I LOVE your blog! I can't wait to check out some of the others you mentioned.
    My recent post Pet Peeves

  20. Thanks for including my blog! So happy to be part of your list and there are a lots of other great ones as well. Pinning it for future reference!

  24. This is a nice list. I've read several of these blogs and I have to agree that they are great. I'll have to look and add to my blog reader.

    I've been blogging since 2010, and it's definitely hard to believe how many people blog or what is published these days! Blogging and social media has changed a lot since then too.

  28. Wow, great list! Like you, I don't read as many blogs as I used to but there is SO much great content out there! Thanks for rounding this up and including me, too. 🙂
    My recent post Running Goals for 2016

  31. wow! That's a LOT of bloggers…what on EARTH do they talk about since everything has pretty much been said about running- I started my blog in the early 2000s, and took it off a few times. Now I just write when I want to journal something and don't necessarily care who reads it. After 40 years of running, I guess I have read it all (the "how tos" and spare me the "race report"!) so don't find it necessary to read many. Anyone can call themselves an "expert" in anything on their blog site. It's pretty amusing sometimes.
    My recent post Firsts

  43. Hi Amanda, I’m looking forward to investigating at these blogs. So many! I’ve got a list of British, Australian and North American women running bloggers over 50 on my site: http://runyoung50.co.uk/blog-lists/
    A few of the running bloggers on your list are on there too. Always glad to hear about more.

  46. This is an awesome list! Several of which (especially Matt the Running Dad) were inspiration when I first got started running. I started sharing my running journey on my blog a little over a year ago. I’d be honored to be added for the updated 2016 list!

  49. What a great and conprehensive list. I love that you put this together and shared it! You have many of my favorites on your list, and I appreciate you including me among many great bloggers. xo

  50. So many bloggers! I have my old favorites but could definitely add a few new ones to the group and this gives me tons of ideas! Thanks for including mine, too!

    • no lie, it’s one of the reasons I like the list! It reminds me of who to look to for things to share!

  56. Hi Amanda! My name is Jenny and I am a physical therapist as well as a marathon runner. I have a blog focused on physical therapy, running, and nutrition called Step Ahead Athlete (stepaheadathlete.com). I would love to be included in your list someday. Thanks for your consideration!

  58. I’m sure they are all great blogs! Still somewhat new to the game. Check my blog out if you get a chance. Any advice, I’m open to some constructive criticism.
