Book - 2018
"This is the book that will take any woman, at any fitness level, into the running lifestyle. Jeff Galloway, a US Olympian in 1972, has helped over 150,000 people make this journey while reducing or eliminating aches, pains, and injuries suffered during most training programs. Jeff developed the Run Walk Run® method of training, and together with his wife Barbara, he offers a step-by-step program specifically designed for the needs and concerns of women. Included are lots of tips on staying motivated, building endurance, selecting shoes, stretching, and strengthening, as well as making smart nutrition choices, and much more."--Page 4 of cover
