    National Record Holder, Champion, & 1:48 800m Runner Cole Boone Shares His Secrets Of His Breakout Year

    High school mid-distance sensation Cole Boone joins us today, fresh off two monumental performances in March that have solidified him as a national champion.

    Cole, a junior at Pulaski County High School in Dublin, Virginia, has been crushing the 2025 campaign so far. The bar is set high for his senior campaign next fall.

    On March 4 at the Virginia High School League Class 3 State Indoor Championships held at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Cole set a new national high school indoor record in the 1,000m with a time of 2:20.14.

    Cole then competed in the New Balance Nationals Indoor meet in Boston, where he delivered an impressive 1:48.29 in the 800m to win the championship and claim his first national title as a junior. This is the second-fastest national high school 800m indoor time this year.

    Cole has been grinding since middle school, when he ran a 2:10 in the 800m as a 7th grader. He currently runs 25-30 miles a week as a mid-distance guy and has lofty goals for the future.

    His current PRs outside of the 800m and 1,000m include:

    • 400m Outdoor: 49.82

    • 1600m Outdoor: 4:07.05

    • One Mile Outdoor: 4:08.60

    • 3200m Indoor: 9:33.63

    In today's conversation, Cole walks me through his breakout year, what went into it, living on a farm, his ambitions for the future, what his training looks like, inside his 1K National Record, his plans for outdoor, and much more. Tap into the Cole Boone Special.
