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.
