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.

I can not recommend Run Your Personal Best enough! I've been working with Coach Brandon for over 2 years. He has coached me to PR in every distance from the 5k to the marathon. Since working with Brandon, I've shaved over 15 minutes off my marathon time, from 3:40 to 3:24, qualified for the Boston Marathon & ran a personal best at Boston. Brandon genuinely cares about his clients and their success. He is knowledgeable, personable, and motivational - he is relentlessly supportive. I highly recommend Coach Brandon & Run Your Personal Best to anyone looking for support & coaching in their running!

I’ve been working with Coach Brandon for almost 2 years now and I can’t recommend him and the Run Your Personal Best team enough! Brandon helped me get my marathon down from 3:24 to 3:00:52, and my 10k from 38:40 to 36:13! RYBP features structured workouts, detailed training plans, nutrition and mental health seminars, and daily feedback and communication. Whether you’re looking to gain some PBs, or stay in great shape, this is the team for you!

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!

I have worked with Brandon for several years (starting in my late 30s), having never had a running coach previously. It has been incredibly mentally refreshing to work with a coach, particularly one as good as Brandon. He has helped me transition from marathons to ultras and given me the confidence that I am doing the right training and preparation for a new and very different type of running. Brandon’s pre-race motivational messages are a particular highlight!

Working with Brandon has been great! I have lowered my marathon PR 8 minutes and also pr'd in the mile, 5k, and half marathon.

Best decision ever made. Totally changed my running experience. Training with Brandon and runyourpersonalbest.com is absolutely necessary if you have goals - get a coach.

Cory is a great coach! He knows how to create a running plan that fits both your lifestyle and running goals. He is very responsive and will adjust workouts whenever the need arises. I love having a schedule I can count on that helps me achieve my running goals, even during a very busy time in my life! Best of all, since using him as a coach, I have not been injured and I attribute this to following his plan and advice.
