Jeff Galloway wasn’t always a runner. He was once an overweight, lazy 13-year-old who hated to perform strenuous activity. But when he discovered running, its positive benefits changed his life, eventually earning him a spot at the Munich Olympics and a career teaching others his unique run/walk/run method. Galloway will share his plan and explain how walking with short jog segments turns on the brain for better memory, better learning, and new growth of brain cells, and gives each exerciser control over attitude with more energy and empowerment to face the challenges of life.

  • Ive been going on consistent runs for 2 months now and I’ve noticed my moods better, I feel more awake, and I have better grades. I’m never stopping

    Don McNelly attempted to run but was unable to complete his 745th marathon in 2010...at age 90. He passed away February, 2017 at age 96. What an inspiration to keep moving and keep busy.

    Thank you, Jeff Galloway! You may be the most influential person in the history of running; thank you for your influence and for sharing your wisdom and experience. I had the pleasure and privilege of running with Don McNelly on a few occasions. I still have a photo of him hanging over my desk with the word "Courage" beneath it. He was truly amazing and a joy to spend time with.

    Time + Matter + Chance...now that takes greater faith than I have! Otherwise, I really appreciate Galloway’s philosophy.
  • Looking forward to running again! Especially using Run Walk method
  • This motivates me to start exercizing ! I will start tomorrow gently and slowly and we'll see what happens
