 Our 2012 marathon and will kick off will be announced soon!

 
Jeff Galloway and some of our members at our 2011 SLC kick off! 

What is it?

A marathon and half-marathon training program designed and administered by Jeff Galloway, US Olympian and long-time marathoner which utilizes intervals of running and walking in order to minimize injury and improve finish times

When do you meet?

We meet on Saturday mornings, and in locatons which are easily accessible for those living in both Utah and Salt Lake Counties. Times and locations vary each week depending on the training schedule and weather conditions.

How can I benefit?

You will be able to run a marathon within six months (over 95% of the members do).

You will be able to run with a group each week at your ability level with a definite training schedule while enjoying good conversation

You will receive group support as you run your marathon

You will receive a personalized training schedule, one of Jeff Galloway's books, a Coolmax training singlet, a year's subscription to Runner's World magazine, as well as training advice, and endless encouragement

Do I have to have prior running experience?

Although our program caters to new runners, we do ask that you be able to comfortably run three miles before joining the group.  For useful tips on getting started and building your base mileage, click here . Once you join the group, you will be placed with other runners with a similar pace and running experience.

Is the program just for marathons and half marathons?

No. Our program director will set up an individual training program for you based on your chosen race, whether it is a 5K, marathon, or any distance in between.

Do I have to train for a race, or can I just run for fun?

Several members of our program just enjoy running recreationally and prefer the support as a group, and training for a race is entirely up to you.

Who are the Program Director?

Jim Levy helped create the Salt Lake City chapter of this program.  He was previously a member of the LA Leggars program in Santa Monica, CA, which introduced him to Jeff Galloway run-walk-run method some five years ago when he ran his first marathon. Since then he has run nine marathons and many other races using the run/walk method and watched his marathon finish times improve by almost an hour.
