Run stronger, better and faster…by running less? Discover the science of running.


Can you actually be a better, stronger runner by running LESS? The answer is YES, and Bill Pierce can show you how. This professor, author and running expert shares how he got into running back in the 70′s and experimented until he found the ideal regimen to improve endurance, speed and fitness—all scientifically proven through his work at Furman University.

Bill talks about the strategies outlined in his book, Runner’s World Run Less, Run Faster and explains how it’s not the mileage, but the quality of your workout that has the most impact. With a combination of speed runs, tempo runs and endurance runs—plus cross-training—you can give your current routine a kick in the pants and earn a whole new personal best.

Bill Pierce, a collegiate half-miler and experienced marathoner, is professor and chair of Furman’s Health and Exercise Science Department. He is the co-author of Runner’s World Run Less, Run Faster.
