Jeffing

What is Jeffing I hear you say to yourself. Jeffing  got it's name from the American Jeff Galloway and is a structured form of run / walking.

Please see below for a more detailed look into it.

According to his website, Galloway created his method in 1974 when he was training a group of students who had not been regular runners. In order to keep the injury rate low and to give them success, he established a “huff and puff” role: walk when you’re huffing and puffing.

At the end of the ten-week class, all of the students were able to run a 5K or 10k without any injuries and every single student finished! As he experimented over the next two years, he eventually came up with the Galloway Training Program.

Like constant running it takes time to find your perfect ratio. You can try using the magic mile method or you can just play around with different lengths of run.  I recommend no more than a 30 second walk. but this is something we can work on together, so that it works the best for you.

Pros - Can be faster than constant running

         - Doesn't fatigue your body as much 

Cons - Very few running clubs accept Jeffers

          -Constant runners get annoyed with you              passing back and forward.
