Same here. BTW, Garmin coach training plans for Galloway method may be wrongly implemented, people are really struggling to follow the plans, see Garmin forum discussions.
Think of it as coasting instead of gliding. it’s like when you’re driving your car in a 55 mph zone and the. come into a 30 mph zone. You don’t slam on the brakes; you just coast down to the slower speed. Of course, if you’re like me and your running pace is slower than your walking pace, the. I guess you do the opposite. 😅
@hubmacfan gives a great example of relating gliding like a car. If you are driving a car and you were to take your foot off the gas, your car would naturally slow down the further you went because your foot is not on the gas anymore. This can be like running when it's time to do your walking interval. If you would walk abruptly right after running, it can cause injury. But, if you get to your walking interval and naturally slow down, it's easier on the body.
Thanks for this video! Garmin has been killing me ever since I started a training program and couldn’t find descriptions on each exercise.
Same😂

I’m doing a Garmin program, too, and I was like, What the heck is this?! 😅
Garmin program is also the reason I'm here right now!
Same 😂 for HM sub 2 lol
Great video. Found the the explanation I was looking for. My Garmin watch brought me here as well.
Thanks for posting this! I did my first Acceleration-Glider Drill today, and this helped a TON!! Thank you 😊
Should these drills be incorporated weekly into our training runs?
Yes. It's a good idea to include both in one of your weekday training events
I still dont quite understand the "glide" portion of this drill 🤷♂

If it helps, I try to myself coming to the bottom of a hill. I want to use that momentum and gradually glide to walking speed.
