Event details and schedule
General Info:
The Jacksonville Galloway Training Program meets on Saturday mornings at various locations across the Jacksonville area according to a published schedule hosted on our training platform Final Surge, and follows Olympian Jeff Galloway’s training guidelines to get you safely across the finish line of a half or full marathon if your goals are to finish, or to achieve a ‘PR’. Our group runs feature walking breaks at regular intervals based on your skill level. Pace groups (of usually 8-15) are set up according to current fitness level, and a Group Leader is assigned to keep the speed slow enough for all members and to enforce walk breaks from the beginning to the end.
Running is more fun when running together, as each member is motivated to run more often and stay injury free. As you share stories, (gossip, issues) and pull one another along, the miles go by much more quickly. Lifelong friendships are formed in these mission-oriented, but laid back groups.
