About Floris Gierman

I’m Floris Gierman, founder of extramilest.com. I'm very excited running and coaching runners to become a stronger, healthier and happier athlete.

Many athletes want to run a Personal Best in any race distance, but they do not know how to accomplish this.

Several questions come up, like:

• How do I become a faster runner?
• How to create more structure in your workouts and feel under control?
• How to avoid hitting the wall in a race?
• What should you eat and drink during your training and on race day?
• How to prevent or deal with running injuries?
• How can I increase my energy levels and happiness levels?

You’ve come to the right place! I ran my first marathon in 4 hours 11 minutes and it was a miserable experience. 5 years later I ran the Boston Marathon in 2 hours 44 minutes, a PR by 87 minutes and it felt great!

Over the years I’ve done a lot of research, conducted countless self-experiments, and surrounded myself with some of the brightest minds in health, fitness and endurance sports. I’ve learned how to become a stronger, healthier and happier athlete.

That is what the Personal Best Program is all about.
