Boab, Thanks for the tip - interesting! I was actually thinking of going back to more structured shoes when I started running again as I was convinced it had been caused by a lack of arch support in some trainers I'd switched to in November (although it may have been doing too much running in the snow in spikes in December/January). I'm so glad you got it sorted though.

*If* you have a good BASE already, and you do the X-training and Rest, it isn't an unreasonable programme, is it? Although buying the book seems superfluous as the review seems quite comprehensive

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."

Rach summed up my initial thoughts before i read this thread, i didn't think Haile did FIRST training
But i now feel ill i do when ever the words run less but race faster are mentioned
Whats wrong with a few extra miles

Lol. It's good if you doing tris and fitting in cycling and swimming too.
I did actually use the FIRST sched when I worked fulltime 12 hr night/day shifts of no reg pattern as kept having to miss sessions of the more trditional sheds.
Psyhologiclly that worked well as I wasn't 'missing' training.
The mara where I did a more traditional sched looked on course to be a big pb tho ( till the tropical heat of Embra blew me out the water!)

Rach I trained with it for months. Turns out the pressure of the structure of the shoes/orthotics on the fascia was too much, enflaming it at the heel and for most of the time along the arch. Agony in the morning and eased off during the day. Within days of switching to proper flats it had gone, and the 140 quid orthotics with it!!! It would appear that my feet did not need any arch support.

Greg, can you place it on the book swap thread, I would like to trade it with a book of equal arse wipe potential - "BNP - The future"
