About

Who we are

Beyond the Bib Run Co. is based in Wilmington, NC. We built it to put the races, group runs and a sensible training plan in one place, for local runners first.

What this is

Beyond the Bib Run Co. is a weekly newsletter for Wilmington runners, plus training plans for anyone who wants a clear, safe way to get ready for a race.

The plans combine real workouts (track sessions, hills, tempos and long runs), paces based on your own fitness, gradual mileage and plenty of recovery, in a plan you can follow wherever you run.

How the plans are built

Paces come from the Daniels/Gilbert VDOT model, using a recent race of yours. Mileage rises gradually with cutback weeks and a taper, hard work is capped as a share of your week, and plans that look unsafe are adjusted with an explanation. Every session comes with a short reason for why it is there.

Independent by design

No club, coach, race or timing company pays to be listed or ranked here. We list every local group and race we can find and treat them the same, and if that ever changes we will say so on this page. Anything sponsored will be labeled as sponsored.
