So it's in a book rather than online or anything?

Yes I sort of do except I don't do any 'sessions' and I assume Furman has lots of them! I thought I was going to be back in time to race Cyprus half in March, but that will now be a jog round and then hopefully will start to get back to some sort of racing at some point later in the year.

It's a book GF, but the plans are online. I've copied at least one into the FE database too, I'm sure. I'll go have a check.

If you look back on my training from end 09 into SPring 2010 that was all Furman. Swim and bike will look tiny to you. But the runs were Furman runs. Very specific interval, tempo and MP paces. :-) G

Depends. Need to analyse the athletes strengths and weaknesses, plus immediate previous training.

Sometimes it's about being mentally stimulated as well as physically prepared?
