Do it Better: Ratio Tips For the Galloway Run Walk Run Method

Jeff Galloway's run walk run method is an awesome way to enjoy running for both beginner and experienced runners. Having used it for several years, I've develop some guidelines and tips on the run walk ratio. It's made running half and full marathon races possible for me, and it also can for you.

I bought his book Marathon many years ago and used it to train for the Big Sur marathon in California. I had never run a race before! Anyway I finished in 5 hours and 45 minutes and got to meet Jeff Galloway there too!

Love the channel. I'm 52. Did a 20 mile long run yesterday using run walk run. Feet are a little sore, but I'm otherwise ok. Jeff Galloway is awesome.

You're the expert on this. I love this information!

When I started running many years ago I had to do the run-walk method. It worked great for me.😊

Doing Jeff Galloways c25k app. Started today. Feels good to get moving again this winter!

Thank you for breaking this down. I'm an avid runner and for some reason kept getting confused the way Jeff explained this. I understand it now. Thank you!

I have been running for a year, aged 46 now. Run walk run for last 3 or 4 months. Did my first ever marathon 8 days ago 4mins run 30 sec walk from the very beginning. 28,000 did the race but I didn’t see anyone else walking at the beginning 😂. Came in at

Great tips. I've started run/walk to get my fitness back and its surprising me with the paces I'm able to get with it to the point I believe it's just a better way to run(and walk) thanks for the video.

I just turned 57 and running my first marathon (NYC) in a few days. I didn’t train with this technic but I’m going to use it this Sunday. They say “nothing new on race day” but I don’t see any possible downside as long as I keep the ratio low and don’t walk for more than 30 seconds. Thanks for an informative video.

I'm training for a half marathon and have been using the run walk run method after seeing your original video on it. I'm typically doing 2 mins running versus 30 seconds of walking but might experiment a bit as I am finding the long runs hard going at the moment and it's shaking my confidence. Thank you so much for your videos.

Thanks for this video about the run/walk method and how you use it. I'm 66 and run/walk is my only choice for training lol. I may have missed this in the video (you talk faster than I do, haha) - but do you always do run/walk workouts (except the trail running)?

[@janetpaul8029]

Any plans for training and running a full marathon in your future? That would be so interesting to follow your journey and something like that.

This strategy got me around a half ironman run with no running training due to a calf injury.

Your video quality is outstanding! Did you get a new camera? The sound during your run was also excellent and I could hear you clearly. But something happened to the sound when you were indoors. I could only hear your voice in my left earpiece and some kind a background noise in the right. I thought something was wrong with my headphones until I heard you clearly in both earpieces during your run. The sound was uneven during your indoor recordings. I played the video through a second time just to make sure it wasn't my headphones. Hope you can fix that. Otherwise, great RWR information.

I like the Galloway method, but I have so many questions about it. According to the online magic mile calculator, my recommended long run pace is

I been walking and running for more than a year and I want to do marathon of 10K what tip would you give me

[@ryanjohnston8237]

Thoughts on run and stop? I just run until I'm tired and stop until I feel good. I went from two minutes to three hours using my lazy method. ha
