What do we think, guys?

Cut and paste from a review on Amazon:
_____________________________________________

The book is for anyone who wants to improve their running performance and is divided into 4 sections. The first section explains the FIRST approach, where a "3 plus 2" format is the foundation. This means you have 3 quality runs each week and 2 cross training workouts.

The second section is how to follow the program. Briefly, one day is a cross training day, then a "track repeats" day, then a cross training day, then a "tempo run" day, a day of rest, a "long run" day, and then either another rest day/or optional cross training day. Cross training days include activities such as cycling or swimming.

If you don't break it'll make you faster, but you may well break.

Classical big corporate activity, creating something appealing but not very nutritious and regularly changing the packaging to make people think it's something new.

It sounds suspiciously like the Hal Higdon masters 3-runs-a-week marathon plan to me?
