Discover a transformative plan designed for runners of all skill levels, aimed at improving race times with less training. Now fully revised and updated, this strategy caters to the modern runner in our fast-paced world. Authors Bill Pierce and Scott Murr have revolutionized the way we train with their innovative FIRST (Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training) program.
FIRST’s distinctive training approach makes running more enjoyable and manageable, reduces the risk of overtraining and burnout, and significantly lowers the likelihood of injuries, all while helping you achieve faster race times. The crux of this program is the detailed training plans for 5k, 10k, half-marathon, and marathon runs, known as the 3PLUS2 program, which includes:
– 3 quality runs: track repeats, the tempo run, and the long run, all designed to enhance endurance, lactate-threshold running pace, and leg speed
– 2 aerobic cross-training exercises, such as swimming, rowing, or using a stationary bike, all geared to improve endurance while helping to avoid burnout
Offering practical tips on goal-setting, recovery, injury rehab and prevention, strength training, and nutrition, “Run Less, Run Faster” revolutionizes the way runners approach and train for competitive races. This revised third edition includes a new introduction, training plans tailored to the latest qualifying times for the Boston Marathon, new exercise images, charts for adjusting training practices based on elevation and climate, and the latest nutritional recommendations. Embrace a new way of running – less is indeed more.
