The Runaround Podcast

Part 2: This is a Podcast About Running. This is Not a Podcast About Running. (With Coach Bennett)

Sienna McEneaney Episode 29

In Part 2 of my conversation with Coach Bennett — Nike’s Global Head Running Coach — we dig even deeper into the philosophy that has made him one of the most influential voices in our sport. We unpack his signature saying, “This is about running. This is not about running,” and how it came to be. 

From bridging the gap between elite and everyday runners to his deep belief that running can make the world a better place, this episode offers perspective that goes beyond the world of athletics. If you haven't already, be sure to listen to Part 1 of this conversation before jumping into this one. Enjoy!
