Cole has been incredibly fortunate to have had several coaches with varying opinions on what was best for himself and his own running at different points in his career. Some of these mentors were “conservative” while others may have been a little “brash”. Nevertheless, once Cole began coaching athletes of his own at the college level, those vast differences in coaching styles enabled him to have a range of knowledge to draw from when writing workouts for others.
Cole believes we run for a lot of different reasons, but one that most of us share is to test the limits of our hearts. One will get out of running only what they choose to put in. As your coach, he will help motivate you to test the limits of your own heart, in a smart and safe way. It’s all about building a strong castle on stone and not sand. You can’t run two miles until you’ve run one.

Walk With A Purpose
Website: www.walkwithapurpose.net
After retiring from soccer, I ran the California International Marathon in 2000 but faced hip and IT band issues due to overtraining. Determined to continue running, I sought sustainable training methods and found help from trail runner Gordy Ainsleigh. Inspired by him, I ran my first 100-mile race, the Western States 100-mile endurance run, in under 24 hours. Since then, I have completed 50+ marathons and ultra marathons, remaining injury-free for two decades. I’m sharing my expertise and assisting runners of all levels, from high school athletes to beginners and seasoned marathon and ultra runners.
