Hurdle

233. Chris Bennett, Nike Running Global Head Coach


Listen Later

This is about running. This is not about running. Chris Bennett, better known to athletes worldwide as Nike Running’s Coach Bennett, has a special way with words that encourages athletes of every level to be their best. In episode 233, I'm sitting back down with one of the show's most-listened to guests to catch up on what he's been up to on his favorite weekend of the year, Nike Cross Nationals (NXN). We talk about why NXN is such a special time, what it looks like to be a stellar teammate, and his hopes for the running boom we’re in right now. Plus: How Nike is showing up to cheerlead the next generation of athletes, and how his work has shifted over the pandemic.
