Synopsis
Finally, runners at all levels can improve their race times while training less, with the revolutionary Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training (FIRST) program. Hailed by the Wall Street Journal and featured twice in six months in cover stories in Runner's World magazine, FIRST's unique training philosophy makes running easier and more accessible, limits overtraining and burnout, and substantially cuts the risk of injury, while producing faster race times. The key feature is the "3 plus 2" program, which each week consists of: -3 quality runs, including track repeats, the tempo run, and the long run, which are designed to work together to improve endurance, lactate-threshold running pace, and leg speed -2 aerobic cross-training workouts, such as swimming, rowing, or pedaling a stationary bike, which are designed to improve endurance while helping to avoid burnout With detailed training plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon, plus tips for goal-setting, rest, recovery, injury rehab and prevention, strength training, and nutrition, this program will change the way runners think about and train for competitive races. Amby Burfoot, Runner's World executive editor and Boston Marathon winner, calls the FIRST training program "the most detailed, well-organized, and scientific training program for runners that I have ever seen."

    • Impossible to describe without sounding like I'm being paid...

      Upon recommendation of a good running buddy of mine, I bought and read this book a year ago; and it was nothing short of transformative. Buying my second copy, because I gave it to a friend and immediately regretted it. I had read a thread talking about this book online, and again it was impossible to think that the people talking about it had not been paid. No matter whether you're a beginning Runner or a seasoned marathoner, You will find something of value in this book! After reading it and following the training plan, I shaved 50 minutes (!!)off of my Marathon PR finish time, and 13 minutes off of my most recent Half Marathon finish time.. I've been running for 9 years now, and NEVER thought This kind of improvement was possible!! This book is my "bible" now, and I recommend it to ...

    • KINDA CONFUSING

      I would (at this point) call the content more confusing than compelling. I haven't finished the entire book yet. I do know what I have been doing has not resulted in any recent improvement. I hope Run Less, Run Faster will provide some useful information or insights.
