Run-Walk-Lawrence
Northeast Kansas’s Official Jeff Galloway Training Program
Jeff Galloway’s proven Run-Walk-Run method makes longer distance training not only doable but enjoyable. The first few workouts are FREE, so come try it out and see what you can do with Galloway!
Olympian Jeff Galloway’s quest for the injury-free training program led him to develop group training programs in 1978. Over the last 40 years, these programs have helped hundreds of thousands of people improve their lives through walking and running. Beneficial for everyone from beginners to Boston Qualifiers, Galloway’s Run-Walk-Run® method produces better runs, faster times, and fewer injuries than with continuous running.
“I started this program because of the effect running has had in my life. I ran in school, but not the whole time; and I’ve run a good portion of my adult life. But there have also been extended periods when I was not active and did not run. And if I’ve learned one thing from it all, it’s this: I’m happier as a runner.
“The Galloway method is the best way I’ve found to enjoy all the benefits of running while avoiding injury. I’ve used it to come back from years of inactivity; I’ve used it to qualify for the Boston Marathon, running a marathon sixteen minutes faster at the age of 39 than I did as a 27-year-old cross-country coach who ran with high school athletes every day; and I’ve used it to complete an ultra–the 44-mile “Brew-to-Brew” run between Kansas City, MO, and Lawrence, KS, each Spring. You too can find more enjoyment and better results in every run using the Galloway method. Please come join us for a run and see for yourself!” — J. Jenkins, Run-Walk-Lawrence Program Director
