Jeff Galloway
The IMT Des Moines Marathon partners with U.S. Olympian and America’s Running Coach, Jeff Galloway, to provide you with the following Run-Walk-Run® methods designed specifically by Jeff for YOU:
Jeff Galloway’s quest for the injury-free marathon training program led him to develop group training programs in 1978 and author Runner’s World articles and blogs used by hundreds of thousands of runners of all abilities. His training schedules have inspired the second wave of marathoners who follow the Galloway run-walk, low mileage, three-day suggestions to an over 98% success rate.
Run-Walk-Run Programs
Jeff Galloway’s proven training program has led more than 500,000 runners and walkers across the finish line while reducing the chance of injury to almost zero. Only three weekly training days are needed: 30-45 minutes on Tuesday and Thursday and a more extended session on the weekend. Half of the weekends, most will run and walk for an hour or less.
