What is the Galloway training program?
Jeff Galloway's training programs are specifically designed to help runners of all skill levels, fitness levels and ages to complete a half or a full marathon without injury. Even out-of-shape individuals can complete a marathon or half-marathon at the end of the training period by adhering to Jeff’s run-walk-run approach to training. This approach establishes a run/walk ratio that enables participants to go the distance while remaining healthy and injury-free.
The program only requires 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 16 miles for half-marathoners), adding only 10% in length from week to week
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 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!
The 26-week training program offers:
- Group support structure for training and multiple pace groups - no runner left behind!
- Weekly training schedule that builds slowly to goal races (marathon or half-marathon)
- Fully-stocked aid stops at training runs over 10 miles + at NYC marathon
- Galloway guidance on running techniques, gear, nutrition, and injury prevention
- Special clinics on topics of interest to runners, plus fun social events
