The Results

Broke the sub 3 hour marathon, three times in a row!

Duc Tran, 45 years old

"The Personal Best Program has not only allowed me to finally run a sub 3 marathon, but most impactfully I'm now a much happier and healthier runner. I could never imagine being able to run three consecutive sub 3 marathons and each time getting faster to a 2:49 marathon, and still, I feel the best is yet to come.What a game-changer!”

This program has helped me tremendously!

Tina Osborne, 50 years old

"As a 50-year-old mom that works full time and is trying to improve my fitness level, Floris and the Personal Best Program helped me tremendously. I think anybody could benefit from the PB Program. I've seen the elite, the faster guys and girls on your page improve with it. People like me a back of a packer old lady can benefit. I think absolutely anybody could.

Man or woman, slow or fast can definitely find a lot of benefit in this program."

Half marathon PB by 26 minutes, from 2:32 to 2:06!

Ken Nguyen, 53 years old

"I ran the San Antonio half marathon and was able to run a PR by 26 minutes, from 2 hours 32 minutes to 2 hours 6 minutes on a very hilly course, so I could have done even better. I'm very happy with the Personal Best Program. It's a continuing process, I'm getting better and better.

It's a great program for anybody who want to improve their PR time.”

Beat her sub 3 goal time by 10 minutes, in 2:49!

Julianne Dickerson, 33 years old

"I ended up running my marathon in 2:49:52. I beat my original goal time by about 10 minutes. I was very, very happy with the result.

I think having a detailed written plan to follow, it helped me to be consistent and it had a very good result."

Big PB's in the 5K and Marathon races!

Jonathan Pitayanukul, 64 years old

"Before I started the program, my 5K PB was 27:49. Last Saturday park run was 24:07, which I felt is still very comfortable. My marathon record was 4 hours 10 minutes and I was always looking to improve my performance. After 5 months, I successfully ran a sub 4 hour marathon in 3:54, a PB by 16 minutes.The program answered all my questions."

Marathon PR by 32 minutes! From 4:50 to 4:18 in just 6 months.

Hyduke Noshadi, 40 years old

"The minute I started training for the most recent marathon that I had my PR, I just followed the advice of the program. I was actually thinking that if I can PR by 30 minutes, I would be more than happy. Surprisingly enough, I even beat that time. I wasn't dead at the end, which is basically the first time. I run five marathons and New York was the fifth one. This is the very first time that after a marathon, I wasn't beaten up. I could just go out and run the next day morning.

The Personal Best Program has all the information very well collected in one place to use. It's just a Wikipedia of low heart rate running."

Real talk? No, you don’t need this. Plenty of runners have successfully improved their running through trial & error – including me!

But if you’re looking to save time by learning from my mistakes, skip the overwhelm, and avoid being distracted by the shiny objects you’re bound to come across – then this is for you.

I wish this course was available when I started my running journey many years ago because it would have set me up for success and fast-tracked my progress.

Right away! All course videos and training schedules are available right after purchase plus you can immediately request access to the Personal Best Facebook Group + Strava group. This course comes with lifetime access to all training materials.

Our training schedules are very flexible and editable. You can easily adjust your training schedule based on your specific race date.

This program comes with 5 base building schedules and 18 race specific schedules. Specific breakdown below.

The 5 base building schedules are:

1.5 to 3 hours per week
2 to 4 hours per week
3 to 6 hours per week
4 to 8 hours per week
5 to 10 hours per week

This program starts with 12 weeks of base building, with most or all workouts at low intensity. This can be adjusted shorter or longer depending on when your race(s) are. The race specific schedules should be followed AFTER a base building phase has been completed.

The race specific schedules:

5k schedule = 8 weeksbeginner intermediate advanced
10k schedule = 8 weeksbeginnerintermediate advanced
half marathon schedules = 12 weeksbeginner intermediate advanced
marathon schedules = 18 weeksgoal finish marathon goal sub 5 hour marathon goal sub 4 hour marathon goal sub 3:30 marathon goal sub 3 hour marathon
50k schedule = 18 weeks

50 mile schedule = 18 weeksgoal finish well
100k schedule = 18 weeksgoal finish well
100 mile schedule = 18 weeksgoal finish well

For all running goals in this program, we will be providing workout details for the different stages of training, your current fitness level and race goals.

The Personal Best Program is broken into 10 modules with 14 hours of core content and 10 hours of additional content and bonuses.

You also get a 19 page companion workbook full of content and exercises to complete as you progress through the course.

No worries! We understand life can get pretty chaotic, which is why we created this to be a go-at-your-own pace course.

You can binge watch all the lessons on the first day, do 1 module a month, or take 3 months if you need! You’ll also have lifetime access to this course, so you can revisit it when you are ready to tackle the course in your own time.

The Personal Best Program is the only training program that I offer.

This program has my best video content and training schedules that are not available anywhere else.

This is also the only way to have live coaching calls with me inside the PB community, as well as ask questions in our PB Facebook and Strava community.

The Personal Best Program comes with lifetime access to all course materials (course videos, transcripts, workbook and training schedules). You also get lifetime access to the Personal Best private community on Facebook and Strava. The cost for the Personal Best Program is a one time payment of $397 USD (or $39 USD per month for 12 payments).

Each new member of the PB Program also receives at least 12 months free access to our weekly PB Coaching calls. These are live group Q&A calls on Zoom, twice a week for 1 hour. Here coach Floris and others answer any questions you may have and you meet other members in our program. There will also be occasional guest speakers and Extramilest podcast guests to share their experiences.

We guarantee that we will keep doing Zoom coaching calls for at least 12 months after your purchase. There is no additional fee after 12 months to keep attending our Zoom calls. For example our earliest program members have been able to attend all Zoom coaching calls over 3+ years and they can keep attending these calls as long as we keep doing them. So we guarantee at least 100 hours of Zoom coaching calls with Floris Gierman, however this will probably be (many) more hours than that.

The program will include a flexible base building period of 3 months, depending on progress can be longer. After the aerobic base building period has been completed, there are race specific schedules based on your fitness level, experience and race goals.

These are editable worksheets, so I’ll provide the template, then athletes can move the workouts around and adjust frequency and duration based on available time to train, stress levels, fitness levels and fatigue levels. Workouts are mostly in time (minutes), not distance (miles / km).

I fully agree that each athlete should learn to listen to their body and adjust training plans accordingly to stress levels and life circumstances. I do however see that many athletes can experience from specific training plan templates that can be modified to fit in their specific situation, based on available time, stress levels, race goals, fitness levels, etc. Combining this with the right mindset and clear race strategies based on HR and pace, and you have a strong formula for success.

I’ve tried my best to include both imperial and metric measuring systems for measurements, so paces and distances are described most of the time in miles and kilometers.

To be honest, no. Running a Personal Best in a race requires some luck with things lining up for you and race day weather conditions. But I believe we all play with the cards we’re dealt, and with the right training framework and racing strategies, we can give ourselves every advantage to increase chances to reach our goals.

Every training cycle and race teaches us something new. Even if we don’t reach our race goal first try, it will help us grow as a stronger, healthier, happier athlete. When you have an open mind, train consistent and patiently, this course can absolutely help improve your chances to reach your goals.

If you find you’re not feeling more confident about your training and racing, or you are not satisfied with the course, that’s where the 60 Day Product Guarantee comes in. Email my team here: flo@extramilest.com, show me you did the exercises, and we’ll give you all your money back.

You don’t need to blow money on fancy gadgets and gear to make the most out of this course. All you need is a GPS running watch, a heart rate monitor chest strap for the most accurate heart rate reading, and the courage to try new things.

Our PB members are located around the world in different time zones. Our Zoom calls are typically 9:30am Los Angeles Time and the other day is noon or 4pm Los Angeles Time.

We rotate days and times to facilitate as many time zones as possible. Replays are always available within 24-72 hours with the topics discussed. We have an archive of hundreds of calls and topics you get access to.

The Zoom coaching calls are an opportunity to ask Floris Gierman live questions. Occasionally other PB program coaches and Extramilest podcast guests join to help answer questions. The amount of people per Zoom is different each time, but everyone gets an opportunity to ask their questions ahead of time and during the call.

Awesome! Send them over to my team at flo@extramilest.comand we’ll get back to you ASAP.
