Running Coach Chris Bennett 9-1-2026-2026

Running is having a moment-and it's not slowing down. From neighborhood 5Ks to packed marathon starting lines, more people are lacing up than ever before, drawn by something deeper than fitness goals or finish times. They're discovering what every lifelong runner already knows: the miles change you. Because the best running isn't really about running at all. It's about life. In THIS IS ABOUT RUNNING. THIS IS NOT ABOUT RUNNING: Lessons for Between and Beyond the Start and Finish Line, Nike Running's Global Head Coach Chris Bennett draws on decades of personal and professional experience to provide the guidance, motivation, and inspiration every runner-and human being-needs.  He joined Mike Pomp on the Morning Information Center to talk about the running community and the new book.
