Training with Jeff Galloway

Jeff Galloway Training is the official training program for DONNA.  Jeff Galloway’s Marathon and Half Marathon Training Programs are for all levels of runners, from beginning runners to Boston qualifiers. This Low-mileage, Injury-free Training Program is for those who have jobs, families, and a life!

The achievement of completing a marathon/half marathon training program and finishing the event will be your treasure for the rest of your life. The training schedule which follows is the latest evolution in a minimal mileage, low-impact training routine which has been used successfully by an estimated 100,000 marathoners since 1978.

Jacksonville Galloway Training Program

The Jacksonville Galloway Training Program follows Olympian Jeff Galloway’s training guidelines to get you safely across the finish line of a 5k, half or full marathon. The group runs feature walking breaks at regular intervals based on your skill level. Pace groups 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.

Members receive the best training possible with the additional help of our training partners in nutrition, cross training, recovery, and apparel. Each week our training partners educate you to ensure your running at your best!
