well we will see if the run less, run faster regime works.....seen as I'm injured and am slowly,very slowy getting back to running - I did 5 miles yesterday, 1st proper run in over two weeks. I am taking to the bike though and will be getting in (hopefully - if work does'nt keep getting in the way!!!!) a few rides this month.

Fancy having a town named after a group - whatever next.

It worked for me I ran 2:54 in my first marathon on this schedule.

Running more days will make you faster but if injury prone or bored of high running mileage it's really good.

About This Thread

Maintained by GregP
What do we think, guys?

Cut and paste from a review on Amazon:
_____________________________________________

The book is for anyone who wants to improve their running performance and is divided into 4 sections. The first section explains the FIRST approach, where a "3 plus 2" format is the foundation. This means you have 3 quality runs each week and 2 cross training workouts.

The second section is how to follow the program. Briefly, one day is a cross training day, then a "track repeats" day, then a cross training day, then a "tempo run" day, a day of rest, a "long run" day, and then either another rest day/or optional cross training day. Cross training days include activities such as cycling or swimming.
