Jeffing

I’ve just read an interesting post on Jeffing and wonder if someone can tell me how to get more info on it

Thank you so much for the Jeffing info it’s really appreciated. I’ll always feel like I’m letting myself down if it walk a bit but it makes sense if it’s done in a planned way and has positive outcomes 🙏😀

Absolutely, it’s the correct approach in my opinion. I only wish I’d known about it at the start of my journey. It can be very disheartening if you have the “well I’ve walked therefore I have failed” mentality, when in fact what you’ve done is perfectly normal, especially on hills in the early days too.

I've never Jeffed properly as I don't find it helpful. However, as someone who loves running hills and trails, I'll walk when it's more energy-efficient or safer. That's usually on steeper uphills or downhills, or where the surface isn't runnable. Sometimes it's the only way to get round!

Jeffing is proper running - a method developed by Olympian Jeff Galloway. There is more about it here girlsthatjeff.co.uk/blogs/n... is also a Facebook group "Girls that Jeff" that has lots of pinned posts about how to work out your run:walk ratios. Really useful!
