Jeff Galloway Running Tips

February 13, 2015 | blogging, fitness, runDisney, running

Hello everyone! I was selected as a Jeff Galloway blogger and can’t wait to share some of his tips with you. I have had the opportunity to meet Jeff many times over the past few years and he is just the sweetest kindest man and I am thrilled to get to share some of his tips with you all.

I am running the LA marathon next month and am slightly undertrained, so I will be using the run/walk/run method to make it through. I have found that my finish times are VERY similar from running straight through or using the run/walk/run method. I tend to run faster during the run portion when I know I will be getting a walk break!

See below for more tips:

-A well-paced run enhances vitality for the rest of the day. Start each run at least 30 seconds a mile slower than you will run at the end.

-If you have a Run Walk Run strategy that is right for you on that day, it’s possible to feel good after every run-even the marathon.

-Running is the best stress reliever I’ve found. Research shows that running tends to activate the conscious brain which over-rides the emotional subconscious brain and manages the negative and anxiety hormones during and after the run.

-Research shows that as runners get faster, their stride length shortens. A quicker cadence is the mechanical key to faster running.

-The finishing of a run that is longer than you’ve run in the last 3 weeks can bestow a sense of achievement that is unique and empowering-due to positive brain circuits that are turned on.

-You can’t run a long run too slowly or take too many walk breaks. You’ll get the same endurance based upon the distance covered.

Thanks for the tips Jeff! I will be sharing more with you all soon!

    Congrats on being selected as a Galloway blogger! If it weren’t for his run-walk method, I’m not sure that I would have completed as many races as I have.

    I have never done the walk run thing but there are tons of girls in my running group that swear by it!!

    I used a 2 min run/:30 walk for the W&D, but recently switched to a 1 min run/:30 walk and have improved my pace on the run segments. I met Jeff at the 2014 Glass Princess expo and he was so nice!!

We originally got it as a solution for rainy or co We originally got it as a solution for rainy or cold days during the holidays, but it quickly became part of our weekly routine — especially for family game night or those super hot afternoons when going outside just isn’t an option.

What I love most? It gets us laughing, playing, and moving together. The games are active and designed with real child development principles in mind — which means I feel good about the screen time. And when she plays solo? I know she’s safe — no online strangers, just fun, movement, and confidence-building play.

Whether we’re all competing or she’s playing on her own, @nexplayground has become one of our favorite ways to stay active and connected as a family.
