The Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training (FIRST) was a topic of conversation in the January 2012 issue of the national magazine, Running Times. Rachel Toor wrote about attending a FIRST training retreat in an effort to improve her running times, and Furman professor Bill Pierce, director of FIRST, wrote about the challenges of coaching a creative writing teacher who wasn’t convinced that the program could deliver what it promised.
