Summer Runnin' FREE with Personal Best in Overland Park, Kansas

/

Personal Best is hosting free summer runs for the entire KC metro area in June and July!

Interested runners need to contact our free run coordinator, Doug Stinson to be included on the e-mail list: dstinson1@kc.rr.com. This will assure you are notified of any changes/cancellations.

PB's summer runs include a variety of 10-mile courses starting from Sport+Spine at 105th and Marty in Overland Park on these dates:

June 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th
July 11th, 18th and 25th

Runs will include a map, flagged course and aid stations every 2 miles. Start time is 7:00 AM. Those needing to run more than 10 miles should arrive early/stay late to get in the extra distance and bring their own water for that portion of their run.

Before the start of the PB fall session in August, marathoners should be running 14 miles comfortably and ready to step it up to 16 miles. Those running half marathons should be running 4-6 miles comfortably. Need a little help with your summer training plan? Basic summer training programs are available for $25.00. e-mail Coach Amy: kcrunning@hotmail.com.

The PB Fall Session will begin August 1st. Details TBA.

Group Run Saturday
A big thank you to Amy Stucky for designing and flagging our Olathe course this weekend! Look at JJ's awesome pic above!

Tuesday night, meet at Roe Park 6:30 PM for a bit of speed play. This is our last organized speed work session for the spring PB 2015 season. Bring a stopwatch or Garmin and water/sports drink.

This weekend Amy S. and Erica will be heading up our last run of the season as Coach Amy will be in sunny FL. Be nice to our girls - flagging a course is much tougher than it looks. We will be set up for 10 miles, starting from Sport and Spine at 7:00 AM. HH runners and late spring halves - you are all in taper - easy does it this weekend - trust the training!
