Today's conversation is one of those chicken and egg scenario's, what came first? Where some runners lace up and strike gold on their first try, others spend years in the single pursuit of a goal. So is it potential that requires hard work or hard work that unlocks potential?

Nick Bester, running coach and founder of Best Athletics, helps us navigate the subject. We chat about what really moves the needle when it comes to making performance progress, the pillars that uphold his training philosophy and finding the balance between committing to goals and actually enjoying the process.

Whether you're someone who is just getting into the sport or perhaps you find yourself stuck on a plateau, this conversation provides excellent insight and a roadmap to exploring your running potential.

We hope you enjoy it and share it with your running buddies! Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with any questions or suggestions or follow us on our social channels @makingarunner.
