I’m an experience software engineer, but I have a had a hard time just “jumping into Rust”. I really want to know the language, but I’ve struggled to build something in it.
However, I watch YouTube videos while I run on the treadmill at the gym. I’ve tried to find a series that explains the Rust borrower and some of the concepts surrounding that, but I’ve been unable to find a good one. I’ve watched ~15 videos on Rust, but a lot of them just stop after the basics. They are supposedly “series,” but once they hit the borrower, they stop the series prematurely. I’m not sure why.
But if anyone knows of a good YouTube channel that sort of does a “Rust language overview”, which does a reasonable job of covering Rust’s flavor of references, structs, generics, Box<es>, borrowing, and some of the advanced features, I’d appreciate a link. I’ll be going on a 3-4 mile run tonight and I’d love something to occupy my brain so I don’t suffer so much.
Read the Rust-book.
Let’s Get Rusty channel has a playlist that goes over “The Book” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX9HJsJUDxA&list=PLai5B987bZ9CoVR-QEIN9foz4QCJ0H2Y8
Bogdan does a good job explaining the content for beginners.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for but
No Boilerplateis an amazing channel that has videos on Rust“Lets Get Rusty” has a 44-video playlist that goes over the Rust Language book in pretty good detail for a newbie. It got me started a few weeks ago.

Fasterthanlime has some good rust stuff but I don’t think it’s good for listening to while running. There’s too much going on on the screen. Definitely check out his channel, though. He has some nice articles on his website too, which are like his videos but go more in depth.
YouTube tutorial videos are about the least effective way of learning Rust. If you actually want to learn it, it would make more sense to just read the Rust book and do the Rustlings course, which you can access from the Rust website. I can’t help you with your workout plans.
