Coach Bennett is coming to Chicago!
Join us a few doors down from our Fleet Feet Old Town store to celebrate the launch of Nike Running’s Global Head Run Coach, Coach Bennett’s new book, This is About Running. This is Not About Running, out 9/1.
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.
Doors open at 5:30pm, Q & A starts at 6pm.
All tickets come with a copy of Coach B’s book.
