Firstly, if you want to run less to run faster, you have to question your reasons for running.
Secondly, if you could run faster for less miles, why aren't Haile and Paula doing a weekly recipe of 40 miles a week plus legs, bums and tums 3 nights a week?
I can see it could make you faster - particularly if you're someone who doesn't already follow a structured training programme - but ultimately, more miles = faster times. Less running at a faster pace leads to more injuries.
And a plantar fasciitis cure in 5 minutes? Bloody hell, I wish...!

Rach, I got rid of my shoes and *whispers* orthotics to rid myself of PF. Racing flats with no arch support, and almost instant relief. Different reasons for it of course.
And totally agree with the Haile/Paula (and add every other elite distance runner in the world) statement.

I think you are all beastly. Looky here now:
"The book ends with a bonus section on how to qualify/train for the Boston Marathon. Additionally, you get an Appendix A (pacing table) and an Appendix B (how to calculate pacing). "

can't be bothered to read back on this one...just to echo the following;
if running less makes you faster then why don't the worlds elite athletes do this?
The only way I can see this working is for the 'club runner' who constantly trains too hard...you know the sort. The runner who trains at race pace and wonders why they can't get any faster. As soon as they ease off a little, the body does the adaptions and hey-presto...they get quicker.
I would hazzard a guess that if you had two runners of similar ability and experience. Trained one using the "Run Less, Run Faster" method and the other is given a proper structured training program one they will both make some progress but the one with the structured training program will eventually make the biggest improvements.
That said...it's horses for courses...not everyone has the time or will to progress their run training to 50/60 plus miles per week.
