What PR means
PR stands for personal record, your single best mark in a given event. A new PR means you just performed better than you ever have, which is the truest sign of improvement no matter where you place.
A PR, or personal record, is your best-ever performance in an event, the fastest time or longest distance you have ever achieved. It is the number every athlete chases, because it measures you against your own progress rather than the field. Here is what PR means and the related terms you will hear.
PR stands for personal record, your single best mark in a given event. A new PR means you just performed better than you ever have, which is the truest sign of improvement no matter where you place.
PR and PB (personal best) mean the same thing and are used interchangeably. SB means season best, your best mark this season, which may be short of your all-time PR. Coaches track all three.
Placing depends on who shows up; a PR depends only on you. Chasing PRs keeps the focus on personal progress, which is why a last-place PR can still be a great day.
