If you are into running, chances are that you will be chasing your PB (personal best) times. This post is about using R to search for your PBs, and to monitor them over time. Usually runners target four distances for PBs: 5 km, 10 km, half marathon and full marathon. It’s likely that a PB will come in a race of exactly that distance, but not necessarily.
