Cory is a fantastic coach Cory is a fantastic coach! He plans challenging and fun workouts. The daily communication and feedback on runs is so motivating. Under his coaching I was able to PR in the half marathon. If you are looking for a coach to take your running to the next level Cory is your guy!

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.

Long term client I've been working with Brandon since 2019, and he has been an amazing coach. I've set big PRs in every distance from 5K to Marathon! We've navigated tough injuries, life stresses, travel, and everything in between. I find it so helpful to have a one-on-one cheerleader in my corner.

Brandon is an amazing trainer! Brandon is an amazing trainer!! I have made vast improvements in my running career (doing less work than before) due to his training. I have gone from thinking I was going to die during an ultra race to finishing strong!! I'm 64...so that's a huge deal for me!! Amazing trainer and person!!
