New marathoner - [19 Nov 2009]
I highly recommend the Run Less, Run Faster book and training program. I ran my first marathon last weekend at the Richmond Marathon in 3:43 time. I am not an avid runner and didn't have much time to put into the training due to job and a new baby in ...

Changed my (running) life - [06 Nov 2009]
I'll admit, the idea that you could successfully prepare for a marathon with only three running days a week seemed unlikely, and doubly so the notion that your times could improve. But after a few years of nagging injuries, it seemed worth a shot. Does...

Used in for my First Marathon - [04 Nov 2009]
I followed the First Marathon training plan included in this book. I ran my first Marathon, NYC, in 3:37. program allowed me to cross train, which is important to me as I had an ACL reconstruction surgery 12 months before I started training. If you combine...

This program improved my PR by 20 minutes! - [27 Oct 2009]
I am a believer. The book and program are great for a busy schedule. It is certainly tough to juggle family, work, a masters degree program and marathon training. I just wish I had dedicated even more time to the cross and strength training. I just ran...

Never expected to qualify for Boston, BUT... - [26 Oct 2009]
...it happened! I followed this book to the letter and am so glad I did! This was my third marathon, and all three have been on the same course, same time of year. I shattered my time from last year by 50 minutes and set a new PR 26 minutes faster than...

Great for a 3 day marathon program - [16 Sep 2009]
I really liked the basis of this book where you need to do runs 3 times a week over 16 weeks to complete a marathon. Having done 8 marathons and used a lot of milage gets really tough on the body. I followed Hal Higgdon in the past and thats far too much...

Training Plan, but little more - [13 Apr 2009]
This book provides with very specific paces, for three specific workouts. If you stick to the plan, I believe it works and it did, in fact, work well for me. However, every run has a pace and a purpose and unless your buddy is doing the exact same program...

Beware Slower Runners! - [25 Jun 2008]
A month ago I finished training for a marathon using the FIRST program from the internet (the one with a goal "to finish"). While I didn't finish in my desired pace (5:30), I did feel great while training and was ready to start training again sooner than...
