Greg - 5K to marathon?

That's no good what about all the other distances - smacks of elitism to me! ;-)

Harsh, Mr Bee. The book does say it will help you qualify for Boston. Which is kind.

It gets better.

"The 3rd section covers performance factors which include such things as running in hot and cold climates, nutrition, and injuries (readers who have plantar fasciitis that interferes with their running might also be interested in The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution)".

What happens if I buy it and it makes me qualify for Boston, even though I don't want to?

Do you *have* PF, Mr Bee? I think you're just being negative.

And Pudds, dear, I think it will help you qualify for Boston even if you *don't* buy it. It is a bit like Jesus. It loves you even if you don't love it. Or indeed believe it exists.

what are the qualifying times for Boston?

seems to me that the book doesn't cater for folks that just want to go out and enjoy running

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.
