Chasing Greatness with Cole Gibbens - Ep.18
Episode 18
Friday, 16 May, 2025
Nick Bester, founder of Best Athletics, sits down with Cole Gibbens following his remarkable debut at the London Marathon, where he clocked an impressive 2:16:52 to finish 25th overall. They unpack how the race unfolded, what Cole expected going in versus how it played out, and the kind of brutal 200km training weeks it took to get there. Cole shares insights into his strength work for injury prevention, his journey from his very first 5K to now, and how he manages the balance between creating content, working, and training at an elite level. They also talk about his long-term ambitions, including whether a GB vest is within reach, and the marathon time he truly believes he can one day achieve. Plus, there’s a light-hearted dive into the best brand of rice pudding, what’s coming next in his racing calendar, and where listeners can follow his journey.
