## Resource

Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, we had special guest Cole Sprout on the podcast! Cole was a 6 time NCAA D1 All American at Stanford and is now training professionally in Oregon under legendary coach Jerry Schumacher. We went through Cole's career to date on this episode and also talked about where he is going next - the marathon! We chatted a lot about how Jerry trains his marathon runners which was quite interesting! Cole said they do a lot of threshold work but do a lot even faster, including the "30/40" drill workout which he broke down on the episode. He also gave his opinion on if volume or specific sessions are more important + told us why he takes creatine!
