Testamonials

At Personal Best Running, we successfully coached hundreds of marathoners.  Our participants range from first time marathoners to serious competitive marathoners. Here's feedback from a few of our marathon program participants:

Lee Gallardo (4:15 Fleet Feet Sports, owner): "This is by far the best marathon training program in the area regardless of your ability or experience."

Mary Davidson (3:04):The variety of workouts, the quality of speed work, the focus of the schedules, and the exceptional coaching, igives a runner of any level the best possible preparation to run a personal best marathon.

Bob Spearing (3:38, First Time Marathoner): Being trained and coached by accomplished runners and doctors who had my goals as their goals, this program was the right prescription to bring an injured runner back to form.

Karen Tomimatsu (6:12, First time Marathoner): It was great to meet and train with others who had similar goals and ran the same pace I did. This is the best program in the area!

Bob Gac: Over the past year, I had recently suffered from some heart problems. After working with the Personal Best training program, I had a stress test and my heart is back to 100%. I really do think that I owe both the speed of my recovery and the fact that I did not have a heart attack to running and this program. For example, I would never have gone to the doctors in the first place if I were not obsessing about my performance in the Chicago Marathon last year. To some of us "personal best" means being here to see your kids smile and for that, I credit Coaches Ron and Neil for my recovery and performance. Now I have no excuse for not pushing myself.

Experienced Runner: No question, I will be signing up for the winter training program. After almost 23 years of running and only 1 season with Personal Best I feel like a "born again" runner. It's been fun and exciting and I definitely want to continue.
