Guess what y’all! I am a Jeff Galloway Blogger! Everyone knows how much I love Jeff Galloway! When I first started running, it was because of his Run Walk Run method that I was able complete my first half marathon AND my first full marathon injury free! Jeff Galloway is truly one of the nicest, most encouraging people I’ve ever met. I remember meeting him for the first time at the Princess Half Marathon expo in 2014, but little did he know I was already a huge fan. Well, he knows it now! He even helped me figure out the best interval ratios for my first runDisney race and he helped me configure my Run Walk Run Vibrating Timer. Talk about dedicated to runners! I am beyond thrilled that I was selected to be a part of the inaugural Jeff Galloway Blogger Program and I can’t wait to share Training and Motivation Tips with you!
Olympian Jeff Galloway has coached over a million runners to their goals through his clinics, wonderful retreats, training programs, books and e-coaching.

I find these tips extremely helpful and they will be beneficial to runners of all levels. I’ve run continuously and I’ve found that the benefits of run-walk-run are significantly greater. I just completed my seventh half marathon (recap here) using run-walk-run and I PR’d by 7 minutes, 12 seconds! I can’t wait to share more of Jeff’s wisdom with you in the future!

Do you use Run-Walk-Run? How does it work for you?
AWESOME !! I want one.
LY Artney you’re the greatest !!
Thank you, Lisa!!! :)
I used Jeff Galloway’s method when I ran the Princess last week! I would NOT have survived otherwise! And why am I just finding out about this Run Walk Run vibrating timer!!!??!! I need this in my life!!
I agree, LaShawn! Changed my whole (running) life! The timer is awesome. I love using it on the treadmill too. Sad thing is…I lost mine at the start of the WDW Marathon (haha!) so I need to get a new one. :)
I have never used the Run Walk Run program. I might have to try it.
It’s really a great method to use even for seasoned runners. I have friends who qualified for Boston using Run Walk Run. It’s worth a try!
Congratulations on becoming part of the Jeff Galloway blogger program! I have been running for about 8 years, but only within the last month have I started to experiment with the Galloway run-walk-run method. I have already started to push myself to farther distances (gradually, of course!) and I’m looking forward to see how far I can go using this method. As someone who has been plagued by various minor injuries throughout my time as a runner… I’m intrigued by all the incredibly positive testimonials.
That’s awesome, Katherine and thank you! One thing I know is…it just works! I’ve had several friends BQ using his run/walk method. I’m just happy to be able to carry out these distances and being able to recover faster. You’ll do great! I wish you all the best!
How awesome is that! I need to try out his techniques because I really want to get into running but don’t want to hurt myself.
It’s a great plan for anyone desiring to run, especially distance running. Almost all of my runner friends use his method as well! It’s worth a try. Let me know when you get started!
He is SUCH an amazingly nice man! His methods have helped so many people believe that they actually could start running longer distances.
That’s true, Amy! Countless runners have achieved their goals and now they are creating new ones!
I love that tip about RUN-WALK-RUN… now i don’t feel so bad for not running the whole way through! I’m so glad you got to meet him!
Thanks for posting this! I’ve never heard of this training method. I plan to do more research. I would like to learn to run better.
You’re welcome, Ramona! Jeff Galloway has great resources. All the best on your journey! :)
