The Jeff Galloway Method

The Jeff Galloway Method.


Who is Jeff Galloway and what kind of method is that?


*About Jeff Galloway:


John Franks (jeff) Galloway is an former Olympian, he did long distance running.
Jeff designed and experimented with the run-walk-run method in 1973, the real training program began in 1976, to help non runners to become runners.


It's a running method great for people who start to run, with strategic walk breaks to control fatigue and injuries, now a days not only beginners use this method but also experienced runners.


Since September 2, 2010 is Jeff Galloway the official RunDisney training consultant, in that time also the Disney's Series changed to RunDisney.


You can meet Jeff at the RunDisney Events.

*About the method:


Run-Walk-Run


It is really that, you will run abit, walk abit and you repeat that.
There are diffrent times you can run and walk.
That's perfect for a starter.
You can start the program on a 5 sec run and a 30 sec walk.
You can get the times up till you can run a 5k all the way, if that is what you want.


The runners that I know who are using this program run for 30-45 sec and walk for 30 sec.
You also can  change the times for running and walking in your training plan.
If you feel that you need more you change your next run in 60 sec run 30 sec walk.
And so you can challenge yourself and find a great pace for your runs.


The training plan also gives you a time table so you can see if you do a 30 sec run and a 30 sec walk, how fast your mile is.


If you do the RunDisney races you need to do 1 mile in 16 min.
So you can train for it with the time table.


You can find the training program here:

And that's it, it's a great way to get in to running and enjoy it.


Like me I don't want to run a 5K all the way, I want to enjoy my runs.
I think I'm still a slow runner (like Jen Lefforge told me ("no your not a slow runner, your just less fast"), so a little bit faster would be great.
I love to run a 5K in 35 min with the Jeff Galloway Method.
And I will be there but for now it's around 37/39, and that's ok.
I'm enjoying my runs and that is all that counts..


So find your training program and get your running shoes, Enjoy your run on your new journey.


Enjoy Your Running Journey.
Enjoy Your Run.
