Cole Gibbens: 2:16 debut / Building an online community / How much mileage is too much?

In this episode of The Easy Double Podcast, we’re joined by Cole Gibbens for a deep dive into his journey through running, life, and content creation.

We go back to where it all started, from his early years and influences to how his time at university shaped him into the athlete he is today.

Cole opens up about his YouTube journey, the highs and lows of sharing everything online, and how running has impacted his mental health.

We also get into his recent injury, how he’s dealing with it mentally, and what the road to recovery looks like. Plus, a look at how he balances training, work, and content — and how things have evolved along the way.

A major highlight of the episode is his debut marathon at the London Marathon, where he ran an incredible 2:16:52. Cole takes us inside race day, the key moments, and what was going through his head in the final miles.
