RUN 

We have a great interview to share with you this week. We are faithful followers of the run-walk-run method founded by America’s Coach and Olympian, Jeff Galloway. But we have never talked about all the resources available to implement this training strategy.  

We talk with Chris Twiggs, National Program Director of Galloway Training, on this episode. He shared his journey to becoming Program Director with us. Chris also highlights Galloway Training Groups worldwide that you can find and join to get in-person support. When that is not an option, there is an excellent value in Galloway Customized Training with Chris. He creates a 6-month training plan for you and hosts online conversations weekly. Customized Training provides an online platform called Final Surge to see your training, message Chris, and document your progress. Finally, if you want to, you can get coaching from Jeff Galloway himself through E-Coaching. You have direct email access to Jeff in this type of training. Jeff creates your plan and continues to modify it throughout the six months of working with him.  

You can find out more about all these training tools and more on www.jeffgalloway.com.  

Coach Twiggs, we can’t thank you enough for spending time with the Runcation Nation! Best of luck to you in your Ultra during The Donna Marathon Weekend in February!  

EAT

Chris talks about his own choices for nutrition before a run and during a run. He has toast before a race. Coach Twiggs is a lucky one who can rely on gels during a race. We also asked him what he likes to celebrate after crossing the finish line, too! For example, a place we have wanted to try at Disney Springs in Orlando called B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Company. In Jacksonville, he talked about a place that so many have recommended to us on more than one occasion, V Pizza. We could destroy some pizza after a race in Jacksonville!

DRINK 

Coach Twiggs shares his favorite beverage options. Before a race, he is a man after our hearts because he drinks coffee and has a Nespresso just like we do! During a race, he relies on Tailwind. We’ve always wanted to try it. After a race, where does he go to celebrate? It’s a place that we want to get to, Oga’s Cantina. Who could resist a drink called the Fuzzy Tauntaun? In Jacksonville, he says check out Flask and Cannon.

THAT’S A WRAP! - Here’s hoping you are off to a great year in 2021!

Again, Coach Twiggs, we can’t thank you enough for being so generous with your time! We hope to see you again at a race soon!  

Special thanks to our newest patrons, Cheryl Goodwin and Jennifer Hall!  Cheryl is our newest Fan and Jennifer is our newest Founder.
