the galloway method of running

if your getting started as a runner or training for a longer race, i highly recommend checking out the Galloway method. it's designed to help you with endurance and protecting you from injury by building in active rest time, which basically means that you build in really brief walking (active rest) into your longer runs. i used this method when i did the seattle half and it was a great experience. there are training schedules and more info on the website - there are even local running groups in some areas - there's a group in NY molly! http://www.jeffgalloway.com/index.html
