The way a PB happens as part of my training is like this. I go out and begin my planned run. On a rare occasion, within my first mile, I feel I have great energy and a great pace. As I run that first mile I make a mental decision as to whether I can maintain a strong pace and give 100% on for the entire planned mileage. At that point I commit myself to making this run an attempt at a PB. Below are some random PB (mostly training runs)

These are great! You keep a great pace! I'm glad you posted this, I'd like to measure my times against yours to see how close I come! Keeps things fun ya know? I'll try your methods for achieving a PB though and I think only good things can come!
