Easily Run Farther with Incremental Effort and Galloway Run Walk Run Method

I was over 60 when I started running. My simple, three run process enabled me to train, compete, and finish several half marathons and a trail marathon. I did it with incremental effort and the Jeff Galloway run walk run method.

At last! Someone who’s putting out interesting and useful info for ‘older runners’ - and he’s not talking about 40-year olds! I am 66; running half-marathons since my mid-50’s. A lot of the advice Ralph gives - like 3 runs a week 2 short and 1 long - I had already figured out for myself, but it’s great to hear it from someone else.

Thank you Christopher for watching the video. I’m glad you found it helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. Happy running!

[@danflowers8584]

Your a wonderful inspiration to me. I’m a few years younger but all your advice is very much appreciated. Thank you. I’ve subscribed to your channel.

[@TheAgelessRunner]

Thank you Dan for your nice words. Thanks also for watching my video. Keep running!

[@raiseyourvibration1411]

I'm glad you found it helpful! Thanks for the feedback.

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

So much good info here!

[@TheAgelessRunner]

Glad it was helpful!

[@midgicegg874]

I'm currently trying to increase the distance of my weekly long run so this video is very helpful. Thanks for the insights and inspiration.

[@TheAgelessRunner]

I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching my video. Keep it up!

[@jmdrummer7]

Once again, great info.. It's key to keep a consistent routine that involves rest, and a walk or two. In the past I have fallen into the trap of running more days to compensate for holiday eating habits, not a good idea.

[@TheAgelessRunner]

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I find consistency is best for me, too.

[@alecgrant3628]

You are very helpful, sir. Thank you.

[@TheAgelessRunner]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching the video and commenting.

[@richardhughes4872]

I love this channel. Do you do the run, walk, run method on all your runs? Thanks for your time.

[@TheAgelessRunner]

Thanks Richard for the positive feedback! I appreciate it. Yes, i do RWR for all my runs... short, long, and trail. I vary the RW intervals/ratio depending on the run (more on this in an upcoming video).

[@bouffon1]

I would suggest increasing your long run, yes, but to do this in a 'hard' week (Fartleks, intervals etc). The following week, tale it back a little, take it easy, then think about taking it up a notch. Once you have attained your aimed for distance , in my case 18K in preparation for the half marathon, you can follow that up with a 15K the following week, etc.

[@TheAgelessRunner]

Thanks for your feedback and this suggestion to also build distance. I appreciate you watching the video and taking time to comment.

I’m running about 3 miles and was Really feeling good and then I came down with plantar fasciitis. Will it be possible for me to pick up my running again? Sorry this may not be the right question for this forum but you seem to have a lot of knowledge thank you

[@TheAgelessRunner]

Thanks Joni for commenting. I also had plantar fasciitis a few years ago and what cured it for me were calf stretches that a podiatrist gave me. Perhaps I’ll do a video on this. In the meantime, I found this video that is close to what I did: ua-cam.com/video/XINGaYD0Zz0/v-deo.html

@@TheAgelessRunner thank you!!!

I cured mine with the tv infomercial rigid like insert for $40

[@ThePreteelady24]

How do you feel about the ratio 20/30? 😊

[@TheAgelessRunner]

Any ratio that gets you running and walking is an awesome ratio! There is no right, wrong, or best ratio. With that said, a ratio less than 1 (as in your 20 sec run, 30 sec walk) means you walk longer than you run. So the less than 1 ratio gives you plenty of recovery time from running, which makes it great for newbie runners or those exploring the idea of being a runner. As you become stronger, shoot for at least a 1 ratio (for example, 30 sec run, 30 sec walk). Thanks for watching the video and commenting.
