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." |

 Written on January 1, 2008 Summary: Working so far! This book is for the runner who wants to take their running to a new level, minimize injury, and be efficient and smart in their training. It covers a variety of topics such as stretching, strength training, nutrition, but most importantly it gives you the why, how, and when answers to get pr's at multiple levels. I just dropped a minute on my 10k pr and was astounded. Train faster not more. It works! Written on November 22, 2007 Summary: Great running plans for all levels I really benefited from each chapter of this book, though I am not ready to run the Boston Marathon. It is still good information for the future. I know a lot about flexiblity, strength training and nutrition. If your goal is to be the best runner you can be, this is an excellent resource. I graduated with a degree in Exercise Science and I know the information that is given in this book is accurate as well as proven by research. I just started one of the programs and I am excited to see improvements.  Written on November 22, 2007 Summary: Did not Work Just ran my 5K today. After working my behind off all fall on this program I really thought I was going to improve on my 22:10 time back in August. No luck. Lost 8 seconds. Extremely disappointed. I think the program may be a good starting point the first few weeks, but runners have to push harder and faster the latter half of the schedule. Ignore the times in the schedule and try to go faster instead. Plus, I'm going back to logging in the miles. That's what worked for me in the past. Written on November 21, 2007 Summary: Awsome book!! Awsome information!! This book is GREAT for anyone serious about running. It just makes sense. Thank you FIRST!! Written on November 15, 2007 Summary: Highly recommended This is an excellent guide to running more efficiently. It focuses on the marathon, but includes training plans for all distances from "couch to 5k" to the marathon. At the moment I only run very short distances, and I found the references to marathoners inspiring rather than offputting! The additional information on cross-training (more training plans if you need them) and nutrition is plentiful and very helpful. Most running writers are passionate about their subject; these guys have added in some science and managed to make it an interesting read into the bargain. |
