Personal Best (PB)

A Personal Best (PB) is an individual's fastest or most successful performance in a particular activity or sport. It represents the highest achievement they have reached for themselves, rather than compared to others. For example, if you run a 5K in your quickest time ever, that time is your PB. People often aim to beat their PB to improve their skills, endurance, or performance, making it a personal milestone of progress and achievement. Recognizing PBs can boost motivation and help track personal development over time.
