It is no secret the huge fan of Jeff Galloway I am. I trained for my very first half marathon with a Galloway Group and have been a follower ever since. Without Jeff’s Run/Walk interval style of running, I would not be active. I LOVED his December JG 13.1 race, my recap is here. I was thrilled to be selected as a Galloway Blogger sharing Jeff Galloway Training and Motivation Tips because Jeff is probably one of the most encouraging people I have ever met.
Yes, that is ME in the blue skirt in the distance getting the thumbs up from Jeff at this #OnTheRoadToDisneyParks event in 2013
I live in the same city as Jeff, and NO, I don’t stalk him. I did happen to see him running on the side of the road a few years ago and in my excitement screamed out to my husband… “Look its Jeff Galloway!!!!!!”. It’s not everyday you see an Olympian working out in public. Mr RWR, he is not into running and was like who ? I know, sigh.Now to be fair if I screamed out “LOOK ITS PHIL DALHAUSSER” or “OMG, TODD ROGERS!” I would have had his attention, as he is more into volleyball than running. But back to me and Jeff….
The first time I met Jeff was at the first session of his Galloway Half Marathon training group back in ’99. He is humble, kind and so encouraging. I try to make it a point to talk to him when I see him at a race expo which is often as he is the official runDisney Training Consultant.
Jeff Encouraging Me to Keep Running at On the Road To Disney Parks Event 2013
If you know of anyone who is considering getting active, I highly recommend Jeff’s Run Walk program. I love his interval app as you can hear Jeff giving tips and encouragement as you are working out and training. His voice is so calming. If you are at an event where Jeff is present, go talk to him, especially if its your first race.

I had no idea you started running back in 90. Wow, we are newbies compared to you Julie. You are lucky to live in the same city as Jeff, he truly is so supportive of all runners whether you are the Olympic champion of the back of the pack. And using Run Walk Run for marathons is awesome!
My first running stint was short lived, 99 to 2000…. and then I took a LONG hiatus until 2011. I was dating a guy a runner, we had even signed up for the Donald….. we broke up Thanksgiving and I never went to run Donald. I ran Tybee Island instead and then, well that was it until PHM 2011. I am so grateful to Jeff, he rocks!
Congratulations! I just love Jeff Galloway, and his method has worked so well for me.
Yep HUGE fan over here! He is the best!
Congrats, Julie! Jeff is such a great guy. He’s always willing to help others!
