Jeff Galloway Training

If you have ever been interested in training for a Marathon or Half Marathon, the Jeff Galloway program is a great place to start. This season’s training will target preparing runners for the Soldier Marathon and Half Marathon in Columbus, as well as the Jeff Galloway 13.1 Half Marathon in Atlanta.

This year’s schedule will once again include the Columbus Roadrunners’ Summer Series.  Speedwork beginning on April 1, will be targeting this race series.  Remember speedwork and 5K races are a great way to increase your pace for marathons and half marathons.  If you want to get faster, participation is encouraged.

Try out the Galloway program this Saturday, May 17, at 7:30 am in front of Big Dog Running on Broadway. Come early to find parking.

For more information on the Jeff Galloway Training Program contact Shelly Dinkin at columbusgallowaytraining@gmail.com
