Galloway Program Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Galloway Training Program?
The primary objective of the Galloway Training Program is to get you across the finish line “injury free”. This program has a pace group for every level of running and walking.
What is a “Magic Mile”?
Participants begin the program by running a “Magic Mile” time trial. The “Magic Mile” is a unique tool developed by Jeff Galloway that will determine pace group, run/walk interval and predict a reasonable time goal.
What does the weekly training consist of?
Pace groups allow particpants to meet new running friends, receive support and motivation, and facilitate running goals. Each group has a leader with experience using the Galloway training method. Weekly training consists of two weekday low mileage runs and a Saturday long mileage run.
What are the benefits?
Participants will be able to run their targeted race within 4-8 months depending on program (over 95% of the members do). Participants run with a pace group each week at their ability level on interesting and varied routes with water and sports drink every 2-3 miles.

Runner Training Frequently Asked Questions
What if it rains?
We run in the rain. Since it is so hard to predict Florida weather, workouts will not be cancelled ahead of time. In the event that lightning is present in the immediate area, workouts may be delayed or cancelled at that point. Workouts will only be cancelled if absolutely necessary. The only exception to this will be hurricane watches. If we are expecting a hurricane and the police have asked everyone to stay off the streets, we will abide by their decision.
Can I still join if I can’t make all the scheduled workouts?
Yes, you can still join one of our training programs even if you are unable to make every workout. It is in your best interest to attend every workout, but we also understand that this may not be possible. Ask your Program Director or pace group leader what you can do on the days that you will miss; they will be glad to provide you with workouts.
Can I bring my baby jogger, stroller, or children with me?
No, we regret that we are unable to allow baby joggers, strollers, or children to attend workouts. We have a large number of participants in all of our programs; therefore, children or strollers on the track or the road put the children and participants at risk.
Can I enroll my child in a training program?
The training program is not designed for children, but for individuals 18 years of age or older. If you are interested in finding a fitness program for your child, we suggest you contact your school or local YMCA.
