That's interesting, I'm trying the FIRST method too this time, and I will probably do most of the running on the treadmill. The intervals are a bit of a pain to do on a treadmill.

The book mentioned doing rowing as one of the cross-training workouts. I think I will try alternating that with the cycling, and kickboxing.

My problem is that I got psyched to get started with the program, and I find out that the only half marathons for the rest of the year are on Sundays. The next long distance event on a Saturday is a marathon in February. So, I guess I will try doing a 15k in September, and maybe go for the marathon in February. Any ideas of what kind of workout to do in the meantime? The marathon schedule is 16 weeks long, and the actual race is 28 weeks away.
