What is the Galloway NYC Running Club?
The Galloway NYC Running Club follows Jeff Galloway's run-walk-run training method, specifically designed to help runners of all skill levels/fitness levels/ ages complete a half or full marathon without injury... or just enjoy getting outdoors and running with this friendly and inclusive running club. Even out-of-shape individuals can complete a marathon or half-marathon at the end of the training period by adhering to Jeff’s unique approach.
The training program establishes a run/walk ratio that enables participants to go the distance while remaining healthy and injury-free. and requires just three runs per week: two 30-minute runs on your own, and a long group run on the weekend. Long runs safely increase in distance from 3 to 26 miles over the 6-month training season for those preparing for a fall marathon (up to 14 miles for half-marathoners), adding only 10% in length from week to week. Regular "magic miles" provide a guideline for the expected race pace for distances from 5Ks to marathons.
The run-walk-run method allows the legs to refresh themselves throughout endurance events. This is beneficial for new/beginning runners, older runners, heavy runners, and experienced runners recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions... as well as younger and competitive runners who want to have fun while running and enjoy a speedier recovery after long runs.
Galloway Marathon and Half-Marathon Training Programs and Running Clubs are organized in cities around the world by local runners with a passion for helping others realize their running potential and achieve their fitness goals. These programs boast a 99% success rate!
(Note that many Galloway NYC Running Club members do not have a marathon or half-marathon goal race planned every year; they just enjoy running with the Galloway run-walk-run method -- which no other running club in the NYC area supports -- and appreciate the group atmosphere, camaraderie, and great events... see below for more details!!)

JOIN US FOR A FREE RUN!!
We love guests and visitors! During the running season (May-November), if you are a Galloway Running Club member from another location, please contact us to join us for your Saturday long run, or to meet up and say hi. Non-members are always welcome to join us for 1-2 free "trial runs" to see how fun and easy it is to train for a marathon or half-marathon the Galloway way, before deciding whether or not to become a member. We have training pace groups from 8 mins. per mile to 18 mins. per mile. |
New Volunteer Coordinators!
Galloway NYC members Telisa Walter, Michelle Karwejna and Patrick Dillon are organizing Galloway-sponsored fluid stations at the remaining NYRR 5-boro races and the NYC Marathon!! Almost all of our members already volunteer at numerous NYRR and other local races -- but doing it as a team increases camaraderie, promotes the Galloway NYC running club to the community, and lets us earn some benefits for the team while giving back. Each volunteer receives +1 volunteer credit and guaranteed entry into the 5-boro race for 2017 (not the marathon, of course)... plus, for each 20 people who sign up at the Galloway fluid station and check in on race day, we earn one guaranteed 2017 NYC Marathon bib for the team.
Friends and family are welcome to sign up and cheer you on if you are running... or sign up yourself to cheer on your teammates if you're not in one of the races. Students who need community service activities can count this NYRR volunteer work towards that requirement. It's a great way to spend the day and support your team!! Just be sure to sign up at the Galloway-sponsored station. Thanks to Telisa, Michelle and Patrick for spearheading this effort and extending the Galloway NYC leadership!!

Great First Group Run -- and First Runner Clinic on Nutrition!
Galloway NYC welcomed many new runners -- and many returning members! -- to a slightly damp first run in Central Park. After the run we had a terrific nutrition presentation from longtime Galloway NYC friend, nutritionist Andrea Moss, at the nearby West Side YMCA. Wonderful start to the new season! MEMBERS ONLY: Access recipes and nutrition guides under the "Members Only" section under "Clinics and Social Events"
Full Capacity at all Events with Jeff Galloway -- Including Galloway NYC Kickoff 2016!
We enjoyed a full day of fun events with our founder and mentor, Jeff Galloway, at the McBurney YMCA. Jeff led a seminar on Running Till You're 100, track demonstrations of cadence drills and acceleration-gliders, a fun run along Hudson River Park -- and was the keynote speaker for the Galloway NYC Running Club and Marathon/Half-Marathon Training Program 2016 kickoff. What a great day!

Marathon 101 Clinic
Nice attendance for a delayed, rainy morning run and post-run clinic led by current and former Leadership Team members, covering all aspects of marathon day preparation, including nutrition and gear (nothing new on race day!), a checklist for marathon morning, and a turn-by-turn tour of the course. Many thanks to Joel, Ruth and Robin for valuable information and a fun presentation!

Terrific Custom Presentation by NYU-Langone Musculoskeletal Center / Sports Performance Center / Running Lab Especially for Galloway NYC Members!
Dr. Harry Pino, Senior Exercise Physiologist and experienced marathoner (18 total, 14 Boston!) together with Head Physical Therapist, Richard Kassler, gave a terrific presentation on a wide range of services and treatments of benefit to runners. These included Running Lab and one-on-one Runner Evaluations which provide running video analysis, strength and flexibility assessment, nutritional consultation and personalized recommendations... a Strength and Conditioning Class for Runners... P.T. for running injuries... Alter-G running in reduced gravity... and Metabolic Testing including VO2Max and Lactate Threshold, and how to use the results to design a customized and effective marathon training program.
