Running & Jogging

Author Biography

Jeff Galloway, based in Atlanta, Georgia, was an average teenage runner who kept learning and working harder until he became an Olympian. He is the author of the best-selling running book in North America and a RUNNER'S WORLD columnist, as well as an inspirational speaker to over 200 running and fitness sessions each year. Jeff's quest for the injury-free marathon training program led him to develop group training programs in 1978. Jeff Galloway has completed far more than 100 marathons, and he spends the time necessary to answer the questions of thousands of beginners, recreational runners, aspiring marathoners and time-goal runners every year. His innovative ideas have opened up the possibility of running with great enjoyment and benefit to almost everyone.
