Jeff Galloway seems to be very big in the States, but not over here for walk/run method. Is there anyone in the UK who does the same?

I am not in the UK (am in Australia) and I have used Jeff Galloway 5K training programme from the MAYO INstitute as a leadup to do this 5K programme. I am intending to do a 14 K run in August and will be using one of Galloways Disney 10 mile 18 week training programmes. He has run in around 156 marathons, is now an older man - and primarily concentrates on developing injury free runners. I am 67, and so far in 3 months have not had a twinge of anything. He is worth listening to. There is a fair bit about him on the Internet, vids on Youtube and he has written quite a number of books.

I have also read a couple of his books and follow his method for my long runs with great sucess

Thanks for reply. Do you know if you can enter 10ks and not run all the way?

Interesting? How so?

[paterson in reply to Tinyrun]

Meant run/walk a 10k

I've done 6 10Ks and walked the first 2 of them (the last one was 2 years ago), and ran/walked the rest. I want to be able to run one completely (but out local 10K course has a hill that even the 'elite' runners write about online and call it a 'killer' lol

[paterson in reply to Theziggy]

This is good news as having to run all the time would put me off doing a 10k but if I can run/walk it is doable.

[Theziggy Graduate in reply to paterson]

I know when I walked the whole 10K, I was quicker than some joggers - though when I started running/walking my times decreased!

[paterson in reply to Theziggy]

Amazing! well done you for doing 10k
