‘This book is a gem … [Coach Bennett] is a moustachioed motivator, and real life Ted Lasso' CHRIS EVANS

‘Coach Bennett taught me a lot … his stories give such a beautiful insight into how we can all find more from the miles than just the numbers’ WILLIAM GOODGE

From Nike Running’s Global Head Coach Chris Bennett comes a bold, welcoming book for runners, non-runners, and everyone in between. Rooted in the coaching philosophy that has helped millions take their first steps forward, it’s about finding the courage to cross the starting lines in your life.

This Is About Running. This Is Not About Running. is a deeply motivating, funny, and unexpectedly moving book about what happens when we dare to step up to the starting lines in our lives. Drawing on the philosophy that has inspired millions around the world, Coach Bennett reframes running not as a test of speed, distance, or competition—but as a practice in showing up, moving forward, and discovering what’s possible when you take a chance on yourself.

With his signature mix of positivity, pop-culture wisdom, and back-to-basics insight, Bennett strips away the pressure that keeps so many people stuck. Instead, he offers a refreshing invitation: you don’t have to be fast, fit, or fearless to be a runner. You just have to start. And once you do, running has a way of teaching you about far more than running: about resilience, confidence, self-trust, and the quiet power of momentum.

Whether you’re lacing up for the first time, returning after years away, or simply looking for a new way to think about progress, this book is a reminder that forward is forward, and that something extraordinary can happen when you take that first step.

Because the best running isn’t really about running at all.

It’s about life.

‘This book is a gem, if you want to start running it’s a gem, if you know someone who loves running it’s a gem … [Coach Bennett] is a moustachioed motivator, and real life Ted Lasso’

I’ve loved Coach Bennett for years and he’s been a genuine inspiration to my running journey, this book is everything that it should be in that respect and one I’ll listen to on repeat. The advice is sincere, genuine and teaches you to embrace running and all its positives. Thanks coach and cheers to you.

Everything about Coach Bennett in a book

The title probably doesn’t explain well what I meant. I’ve run with Chris Bennett’s guided runs for many years; I still do. Even I remember them; I remember what I pass in each part of the different runs and I listen to the books in between. The book is everything that I wanted it to be: motivation, some personal stories, and some goofing off; I call it a rollercoaster of every run. He always says that he is not great at titles, so now you know how we feel ;)

Extra-long guided running journey

As someone who has only been running for a year, every single chapter of this book made me feel like a true runner.

Coach Bennett captures the emotional reality of the sport, reassuring you that struggling isn't a sign of failure, it is simply part of the process. His personal stories never feel self-indulgent; instead, they tie seamlessly back to core mindset shifts that stick with you long after the chapter ends.

Listening to this for the second time ahead of my second 10k, the message lands even deeper. The title couldn't be more accurate: it’s entirely about running, and yet not about running at the exact same time.

Whether you are stepping onto the pavement for the first time, preparing for a race, or navigating everyday hurdles, this book offers the exact inspiration and perspective you need. Highly recommended for runners and non-runners alike.

Love Coach Bennett.
Talks about running, the body and the head and the other stuff that makes and break us.

Always good
