This is the best personal coaching program in the National Capital Area and is designed for the experienced runner. A simple, step-by-step, proven, guaranteed training program that any experienced runner can follow. However, only a select few will get the chance to be personally coached and mentored by the Personal Best coaches. Only 60 runners will be handpicked for this program. Those of you selected will be taken by the hand and guided to the healthiest, most successful and motivated running you’ve ever experienced.

No one is even close to developing this kind of program. You’re invited to apply for membership in this elite group. We will evaluate applications on a first come-first serve basis. Once we reach our limit of runners who qualify for this program, no additional applications will be accepted. If you apply too late, and we are unable to accept you, we hope you’ll understand.

1. You must have a goal to run the half-marathon in 2 hours or faster, or 10 miles in 1 hour 35 minutes or faster.
2. You must be serious in your desire to improve.
3. You must be willing to invest the time, energy and resources to maximize your success.
4. You must be willing to take action.
5. You must follow the plan we develop as closely as possible.

We at Personal Best are far more interested in your desire to improve and your willingness to take action to achieve new results in your running than we are about your ability, experience, past success or failures.

Runners accepted into this level will be trained to achieve a specific time goal or qualifying standard. Emphasis is put on goal achievement, motivation, fun and injury prevention.

The Specifics

Upon registration you will fill out a running profile questionnaire and have a personal consultation with a coach to determine your goal and address any special concerns. Our coaching team will then design your personal half-marathon or 10 mile training program. Next, you will attend our seminar on "Seven Steps to Successful Running". This will be held on Sunday, May 14^th, at 6:00 PM at the Fleet Feet super store in Falls Church. At the seminar you will be introduced to the coaches. You will receive your Personal Best singlet, and a customized binder containing program materials.

Your custom tailored coaching program will be a 6-month program beginning on Monday, May 21st, and ending approximately 1 month after your half-marathon or 10 mile race.

The first month of your marathon program will be a build up phase. This portion is designed to develop a foundation and allow a smooth transition into the next, more intense phase. You will receive a weekly workout schedule detailing your workouts for each day along with distance and pace. During the build up phase we will be monitoring your progress by phone, e-mail, and fax.

Your personal program is reviewed on a weekly basis and modifications are made when indicated.

The last month of the program will be a recovery phase. This portion is designed to guide you back into a regular running routine while staying healthy and motivated during the weeks following your half-marathon or 10 mile race. You will receive a weekly workout schedule detailing your workouts for each day along with distance and pace. During this final phase we will be monitoring your recovery by phone and e-mail.

We will schedule various races into your Personal Best half-marathon or 10 mile program. These races are an essential part of the program and you are expected to participate. They are great fun, motivational, and allow us to evaluate your progress. Race entries and fees and not included in the program.

We will bring the program to a close with our famous Personal Best Celebration! At this party we reflect back on your accomplishments, trade "war stories", and enjoy some good natured "runners roasting".
