About the Gainesville Galloway Training Program
This is a weekly training group, not a single race. The group follows the Jeff Galloway run-walk-run method and meets on rotating mornings at different spots around Gainesville, mostly on smooth asphalt bike paths through parks and away from traffic. Routes are built around half and full marathon prep, so the mileage tends to be on the longer side.
The group gathers at different locations each week, so first-timers should reach out ahead of time to find out where to meet. A local grocery store plaza has served as at least one starting point. The first session is free, and the pace and approach are shaped around building distance without injury rather than chasing speed.
