Nike Running’s Global Head Coach Chris Bennett on Good Coaching, Community, & More
Manage episode 423328715 series 2394684
Chris Bennett is the Nike Running Global Head Coach and Senior Director Nike Global Running. Translation: Chris is an absolute powerhouse of a coach and runner.
I got to chat with Chris about his role at Nike, how runners approach the sport from a variety of angles, what often prevents us from achieving our goals, his message to every runner in the world if he had the opportunity to speak to the global running population, and so much more.
In this episode, Chris and I talk about:
- The multifaceted nature of coaching (it's not just creating workouts).
- Don't overcomplicate running; it can be simple and accessible.
- How runners' motivations have shifted from performance-driven to stress relief and mental wellness.
- How all runners can explore the sport beyond just competition and time.
- The growth of running and its perception as a competitive sport.
- You need more than just time goals.
- Common obstacles to consistent and effective running training.
- Adjusting training plans based on the athlete's needs and self-awareness.
- Don't rely on a coach entirely; listen to your body and mind-- and speak up!
- Self-sabotaging by "doing" too much without enough recovery.
- Running with the legendary Joan Benoit Samson.
Send this episode to anyone who could use more play and exploration in their running goals.

Thank you Previnex!
After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I’m cautiously changing my tune. I’m now a Masters runner and in my personal life, I’m optimizing for longevity. I want to be my healthiest self for as long as possible and I’m excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen.
Previnex uses the most bioavailable, clinically tested ingredients, the optimal form and dose of each ingredient, pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, testing of raw ingredients and finished products. For every purchase you make, they also donate vitamins to kids in need.
Their new Muscle Health Plus is something I'm now taking. Turning 40 - and having a thin frame - has made me realize that I need to prioritize lean muscle mass to stay healthy and age well. Muscle Health Plus has creatine, essential and branched chain amino acids, and it's designed in a way to maximize protein synthesis and the absorption of amino acids.
Muscle Health Plus will help you prevent muscle damage, which is particularly important for aging runners who want to protect themselves from muscle loss and recover faster after hard workouts. As is true for all of their products, Previnex adheres to the highest of standards: their ingredients are clinically proven to do what they say they’re going to do.
Previnex offers a 30-day money back guarantee. If you don't feel the benefits of their product, you get your money back no questions asked. With their focus on quality and customer satisfaction, I hope you’ll try it! Use code jason15 for 15% off your first order at Previnex!
