"Runner's World" Run Less Run Faster by William James Pierce

Hailed by the "Wall Street Journal" and featured twice in six months in cover stories in "Runner's World" magazine, First's unique training philosophy makes running easier and more accessible, limits overtraining and burnout, and substantially I cuts the risk of injury-while producing faster race times.The key feature is the "3 plus 2" program, which each week consists of: quality runs, including track repeats, the tempo run, and the long run, which are designed to work together to improve endurance, lactate-threshold running pace, and leg speed; and aerobic cross-training workouts, such as swimming, rowing, or pedalling a stationary bike, which are designed to improve endurance while helping to avoid burnout.With detailed training plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon, plus tips for goal-setting, rest, recovery, injury rehab and prevention, strength training, and nutrition, this program will change the way runners think about and train for competitive races.

Pierce, Bill: - Bill Pierce, a collegiate half-miler and experienced marathoner, is professor and chair of Furman's Health and Exercise Science Department.
