[00:38] The Origins of the Galloway Method

We take you back 25 years when the running community was much smaller.

Coach Valerie shares her first encounter with Jeff Galloway's revolutionary run-walk method. In many ways, this approach changed the marathon training landscape.

[01:25] Ultrarunning Success Story

Here’s an amazing example of the Galloway method's versatility: A woman who completed a 100-mile ultramarathon using the one-minute-run, one-minute-walk approach.

[03:07] The Magic of 30-Second Breaks

Did you know there's a "magic number" for walk breaks?

30-second breaks can effectively rest your body and heart. This method even helped save Galloway's life during his own heart condition.

[04:39] The RunRX Reset Approach

Instead of just stopping to walk, tune in here to learn about our unique "reset" approach that helps you get back into proper running form.

[07:03] Understanding Movement Patterns

Walking and running are completely different movements, and it's crucial to understand both.

Learn how proper "pulling" action applies to both activities and why this knowledge is essential for your running experience.

[09:35] Everyday Movement Mindfulness

Coach Caroline shares a personal example of applying running principles to daily life, describing how she practices proper form even during a simple 100-meter walk to get the mail.

[10:20] The "Dead Butt" Phenomenon

What’s a dead butt? It’s an issue of inactive glutes from sitting too much. The good news is you can activate your glutes properly for better running performance.

[12:43] Practical Movement Integration

Incorporating simple exercises like glute walks and pulling actions into your daily routine can significantly improve your running.

Whether walking or running, maintaining proper form through chest positioning and knee bending can enhance your overall movement quality.
