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.
