First Fall Season Run Details

Our first run of the fall season is right around the corner.

We will meet at Johnny's Tavern at 83rd and Mission at 6:00 a.m. Please arrive 15 min. before start time for check in and announcements. The route will be set for up to 18 miles - out and back as always - you go as far as you need to for your training.

Training schedules for the races are available on the members only site once you've registered and if you register before the packets are printed, you will receive a printed copy in your packet. For more details see Members Only Site and Training Schedule Details.

Meet and Greet - your mission on this run is to make a new friend. Come back to home base with a name and at least one morsel of information about your newest buddy!

Join us for packet pick-up on August 5th from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Metro is offering a 25% discount on shoes that night! If you are new to Personal Best, I recommend you attend the orientation from 7:00-7:30 p.m. This is followed by a Runner's 101 clinic from 7:30-8:30 pm.

Training Schedule Information

Runners come in all shapes, sizes and speeds. Many factors play a role in successful running including intrinsic factors such as body type and genetic traits. These are harder and in some cases impossible to manipulate. We can impact extrinsic factors such as nutrition, psychology and training and this is where PB comes in!

There are many different training schedules that are successful in preparing runners for the demands of a half or full marathon. Personal Best plans are based on the exercise science principle of progressive overload and the philosophy that more is not better. Over the years, our training plans have evolved to keep up with the latest research on the science of running.

PB offers two training schedules per race. The two schedules appear on the same race training chart and differ primarily in the total weekly mileage and long run mileage. Read the Explanation of Training Schedules in your handbook before you choose a plan and before you begin training.
