Josh Kerr's Mile Vs Sabastian Sawe's Marathon & Training Secrets | Nike's Running Head Coach Bennett
About this episode
Chris Bennett discusses the complexities of running and how enjoyment and confidence can enhance performance.
Running isn't complicated. Runners are complicated. Nike Running Global Head Coach Chris Bennett joins Spencer to challenge the obsession with pace, PBs and performance metrics, and explain what actually makes you a better runner. Chris shares why enjoyment can unlock better performance, how confidence is built through the work you do before race day, and why your fastest race isn't always your best. He also explains why knowing when not to run can be just as important as pushing through. From coaching millions of runners through Nike Run Club to changing the way we think about goals and success, Chris reveals why becoming a better runner isn't just about getting faster, it's about getting closer to your potential.
