FIRST to Finish

June 16: After looking at several training programs I have decided to go with the FIRST program. 3 days of running, 3 days of cross training per week. There is a big emphasis on establishing pace and staying on course. I'm not sure my knees could take (or at least enjoy) 6 days of running every week so I think this program will work well for me. Ramsey used a similar program in preparing for the 2005 Richmond Marathon with success.
