The Furman FIRST training programs are the most detailed, well-organized, and scientific training programs for runners that I have ever seen. For many runners, especially those hard-pressed to find time for their workouts, the Furman FIRST programs will also be the best.

Recently, he decided to take a break from competing on an international level and pursue his life-long dream of becoming a physician so he enrolled in medical school which he completed in 2010.
