ABOUT JEFF GALLOWAY

Jeff Galloway competed in the 1972 U.S. Olympics in the 10K. Since then, Jeff has devoted his life to running and promoting fitness for everyone. More than a million runners and walkers have read his books, attended his retreats or running schools, received e-coaching, had an individual consultation or joined his training programs. Jeff designed his run-walk-run method in 1973 to help beginners start running. Strategic walking breaks allow runners to control fatigue, which helps to eliminate significant running injuries. Surveys show that veteran runners often improve their finish times when they shift to run, walk and run.
