    I trained for a marathon with USA Fit. They use a run/walk program very similar to what Galloway advocates. I injured my knee on my final training run (21 miles) and so I never finished the marathon. The run/walk system took me a little while to get used to. It seemed disruptive to the natural rhthym of running. I got used to it after a while and even began to enjoy my one minute breaks. I found training with a group to be very helpful. If you can find a group using Galloway's plan in your area, I would definitely recommend it.

    Awesome, thanks! I will see -- I find I LOVE intervals so it seems more up my alley for treadmill training. Right now, toooo hot for outside training. So, again, thanks!!

    Jeff Galloway is a GOD! I worship the ground he runs on...

    All his programs are great - his books are well written and very easy to read.

    I 100% encourage you to follow the program that is right for you.
