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!

Very cool that you got to meet Jeff! Runners like to who set a race objective, train for it, and do it inspire me and others! Congrats on finishing the race!

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.

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 3:35:44. Without the walk breaks in that last hour I don’t know how I’d have made it. I was VERY tired even with them! Recovery was decent until I played cricket Saturday then ran 15k Sunday. Too much too soon 🙄

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.

That's great! Some say their pace improves with RWR because they're not getting so tired early in a run. Thanks for the feedback and watching the 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.

Thank you for the positive feedback! I appreciate it. Perhaps 2 minutes is too long for you to run. I typically run 1:30 on my long runs. So do experiment with your times. Thanks for watching 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.

Thank you for the video feedback and kudos to you on running your first marathon! The “nothing new on race day” doesn’t really apply here as all you’re doing is adding some walk breaks, unlike adding a new food or article of clothing. I believe on race day you have three goals: enjoy the race, finish the race, don’t injure yourself. Good luck!!

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)?

Thanks for watching the video and commenting. Yes, I do run/walk for all my runs: long or short. Because I walk hills or dangerous sections on the trail, my trail runs end up being run/walk too, just not regular intervals.

Stephen, I do not have any videos on calf muscle issues. Perhaps in the future. You might consider massage, either with a percussion massager or with a professional massage therapist. Good luck with your training!

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.

In the original video the background music was too loud and people said they could not hear me. I ditched the music and now hear me just fine, so I'm not sure why you have left/right channel differences. Thanks for the feedback.

My tip is to find and follow a training plan. Here is a marathon training plan from Jeff Galloway: www.jeffgalloway.com/training/marathon-training/

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

I think whatever gets you out the door to run is great. Whether it’s run/walk/run or run/stop/run, it’s all good. Keep it up!

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 16:03. But two days ago, I walked 5 miles with an average pace of 15:43. So should I even run at all?

Thanks, Tim, for commenting. In all honesty, I've never done the Magic Mile. It just seems like too much work to get started! If you want to run, you should consider doing RWR. I have a playlist on doing RWR that I'll link below that would be helpful for you, but you might watch this video first: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2x_tsGjo5a4hLw.html RWR Playlist: kzread.info/head/PLC8vL4GhTV1hc23K2kxG7FCfmnIxisck9
