    I've wanted to start running for two or three years, but never had the guts to just do it. I felt horribly stupid and inadequate, never had fun running in school (the last time I ran, 15 years ago), I'm overweight and unfit. But watching your videos, especially this one and the one about breathing techniques, really helped me get started. So I went on my first 'run' (1 min. run, 1 min. walk for 10 min. total) 9 weeks ago. Yesterday I ran 6 km without a needing or wanting to take a break to walk. Probably could not have done it without your info! Thank you so much for motivating an helping me start running!

    I’m a convert. For a few years my running has been plagued by injury and ITB pain. This method seems to have eliminated this... so far. Also, no loss in pace/times and a big increase in enjoyment! This is NOT just for beginners, it can be very useful for runners at all levels. Swallow your pride and take a walk!

    I coach the Galloway method, from Couch to 5k through to Ultra. It really DOES work, as long as it is followed consistently. Purists hate it, but it is actually very sensible, and - surprising to many - actually produces PBs on the same course as constant running. Excellent intro to Jeffing, a system that is tested and proven.

      @Nic777 and what % of runners aspire to be in the olympics? or better what % make it to them? youre comparing a very tiny % of elite runners to the majority of overall runners....................i know marathon runners who have used this method to run under 3 hour marathons so definitely can be used for intermediate and advanced runners also

    • @n.running6536
      @n.running6536 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Nic777 Keep in mind the majority of runners do it for fitness, enjoyment and the social aspects. Not everyone is trying to be a professional runner. Most trail marathons and ultras are 'jeffed' to an extent. If it makes the sport more enjoyable and more accessible I don't see how that can be looked at negatively. I used this method when I was coming back from injury and it was a great transitional method back to full running.

    I actually never knew this is an actual thing with a name! 18 months ago I gave up cigarettes after 10 years and started running. In the beginning I could not run half a km without stopping to hack my lungs up. Then I started to Jeff and could get 5k in if I jeffed 5 or 6 times. From there my fitness picked up and I cut down the jeffing gradually. I can now run 10km without stopping and am training for my 1st half marathon in October 2020! Love your videos thanks for all the advice!

  • @alfiecollins5617

    I fully believe the run/walk approach can be used by anyone up to elites. It's an interesting way of breaking up your runs, keeping you HR down and putting very little strain on the body. Also, walking is unbelievably good for you, and despite what the book 'born to run' says, I think we're born to walk. We evolved to walk vast distances, not run ultras on tarmac. Never in our evolutionary history would we have to have run 26.2 miles in one go. In the past I have run 50-80mi per week, but now I'm just going to go by time (aiming for around 14 hours per week) and include my walking as time spent training.

    I discovered Jeffing by accident!
    I ran my first 10K a few weeks ago. A few days later I went for a long, fast walk. I got bored, so I decided to just run every other kilometer. In the end I was faster than at that 10K, without even trying! It absolutely works, but yeah, you gotta walk pretty fast.
    I love the name, naturally. So this is now officially "my" thing too :D

  • @alfromtx245
    @alfromtx245 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I've noticed that certain running forums aren't the best place to bring up this method. Unfortunately, a lot of purists seem to really hate it. I used run/walk/run for my first marathon. This allowed me to increase my mileage significantly without getting hurt. For my second marathon training, I began shifting the balance so that I was running more. By the time of the race, I was just taking a 30 second walk break every mile and would also use this as my fueling break.
    Since then, I've shifted to straight running. But there's no question that run/walk/run played a huge part in my development as a runner.

  • @galeriestrasbourg2527
    @galeriestrasbourg2527 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I started walking during races in trail events because sometimes everybody walks up a steep, rocky hill, and it just doesn't make any sense to try to run. Now, I integrate walking to my training as a quick recovery and I find it helps with the drinking and eating too. Hydrating and refueling can be a messy task for me. Thanks for the video!

  • @MrCol104
    @MrCol104 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Jeffing is a great idea, especially for new or inexperienced runners.
    If it encourages more people to be active, that is brilliant.
    Most Ultra runners will include walking in their race, as standard.
    It’s all about getting from ‘A to B’ by whatever methods suit you best.

    • @runningchannel

    • @maureenseel118
      @maureenseel118 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Even for experienced runners it's great. I'm very injury prone if I'm not careful and the walk break has made it possible for me to make it up to 20 miles (Granted-shortly after I got stress fractures...and yes-my form is correct before anybody tells me it's not).

  • @peterseager6970
    @peterseager6970 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Thanks for the explanation. Jeffing pretty much sums up my running technique at any distance. I came into running late (50+) and can’t keep up a decent pace for long. But walking breaks keep me going the whole distance.

    I consider myself an intermediate runner, coming back after a period of little to no running. Having just treated myself to a Garmin running watch, I have decided to try out one of the training programs offered by Garmin. As I have never really been able to stick to a program, I have chosen to see how using Jeffs method will impact my 10k time. Thank you for this great video and for putting some more perspective on his method.

    I have a slight personal variation on the method. When my breathing becomes more intense I start jogging on the spot, waiting till my heart rate and breathing slow down and proceed when I feel more comfortable. I repeat this method till I become fitter and stronger.

  • @markreid7233
    @markreid7233 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I have done the run walk method for over a decade. The walk is always at the same two points on my running route the halfway mark and the end of a lap. The later is where I hydrate or fuel up during longer runs. It isn't a long walk but enough to bring down heart rate and reset.

    This is the strategy I use for all my long runs. I still do some regular runs without walking, but this has been a life-saver for me. I can make it so much further without feeling exhausted (well...still as exhausted as you'd expect after a 13 mile plus run).

      I have to admit I am a little new to the walk run method myself so I'm not sure I am the most knowledgeable person on the subject but from my understanding the magic mile page just tells you what pace and milage you're capable of based on your mile time rather than telling you how often you should walk vs. run. In this video she said that you should walk whenever you feel like you're huffing and puffing so I'm not sure if there's a set amount of time you're supposed to do either. It just comes down to what is comfortable for you. From what I've read online you should just gradually keep adding more mileage to help build endurance. Hope that helps.
