Running into my new AG with Run Your Personal Best Simple, Direct, Honest, Personal and Blunt: Working with Coach Birdsong has been simple - I told him my running goals and what type of cross training I like to do and he creatively builds weekly workouts to fit my needs. Our 6-days a week communication style has been direct and honest. I tell him daily how I feel after a workout or a mental struggle at work and we go from there in a positive, uplifting, and guiding momentum. The personal workouts that Coach Birdsong builds in my Final Surge app are always prompt and push me to be the best athlete that I can be. I'm pretty blunt about my personal running struggles and how I take myself way too seriously and Coach Birdsong handles my pirate mouth like a pro! I had the opportunity to meet him in person and I found him to be genuine and a total sweetheart. The monthly fee is well worth investing it in myself. If you are on the fence about using an online service for a running coach - you should definitely consider Run Your Personal Best.

Coach Brandon Birdsong Brandon Birdsong has been my coach for about 2.5 years now and I can’t recommend him enough. I have to say one of the things that I really love is the fact that he takes every single athlete’s goals seriously. I’m not elite or even in the competitive arena but he has always pushed me just the same and cheered me on as if I were about to make the Olympic team. He is always approachable, so incredibly down to earth and one of the most genuinely kind human beings I’ve ever met. Don’t let that fool you though, he’ll still kick your butt and whip you into shape. I can’t even describe all of the ways I’ve improved as a runner and all around athlete since we started working together. He knows his stuff and has a unique ability to tailor training to each individual client and meet you where you are as an athlete whether you’re just beginning or ready to win.

Best Running Coach! Brandon is an amazing coach. I've been working with him for almost 3 years and have improved my running more than I could ever imagine. He is super attentive and really takes his coaching to a personal level. He knows when to push me and when I should back off to avoid injury. I highly recommend Brandon and Run Your Personal Best. If you are looking for a coach look no further. You will not be disappointed!

Plateau -> Running PRs Coach Brandon is the best! When I was looking to run a marathon, I knew that I couldn’t do it alone. So thanks to a recommendation, I found Run Your Personal Best. I got matched with Coach Brandon and he has helped me PR tremendously! I went from a 3:40 marathon down to a 3:04:08 marathon. Thanks to Coach Brandon’s guidance we were able to pin a strategy that was optimal for me to race well. I was also able to PR in the half marathon as well coming from a 1:26:55 half all the way down to a 1:22:03 half. Would highly recommend Run Your Personal Best if you want to optimize your running. I stopped plateauing and started PRing which is what I wanted! Thanks Coach Brandon! You’re the best!

Cory is an exceptional coach Cory is an exceptional coach! His communication and scheduling of workouts have been on point. He provides motivational comments and helpful input after each workout. I sincerely feel that Cory’s coaching method has helped me feel accountable for my workouts. (I wake up each day, excited to work out)! After four months of working with Cory, I’ve seen unimaginable results which include my fastest mile, 5k and 10k. I look forward to working with Cory for the foreseeable future.
