In this episode, I chat with Jacob Thomson, a professional runner with Under Armour, living and training in Flagstaff, Arizona. He also runs Thomson Training, a coaching service catering to all ages and levels of running. Jacob recently competed in the Chicago Marathon, finishing 12th place with a time of 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 49 seconds. He also competed in the 2021 US Olympic Trials 10k. His PR's include: 3:57 (mile), 7:50 (3k), 13:28 (5k), 27:57 (10k), and 2:15:49 (marathon).
We discuss his current training, his preparation for the Olympic Trials earlier this year, his preparation for the Chicago Marathon and being featured on the Sweat Elite YouTube channel, and how training now compares and contrasts to his training in high school and college. We also cover his coaching philosophy, how he programs training, and how he started Thomson Training.
