1 THE BOOK You don't have to wonder anymore what to do each day! This book will organize your running life, telling you what to run (with other optional exercises) throughout the year to prepare for the goal of your choice even if you want to be a more consistent runner. With each week's workouts, you'll receive a motivational tip, with suggestions about how to increase your running enjoyment. Jeff Galloway has run in the Olympics and has coached over 150,000 people. Here, he reveals the plans used by his highly successful runners, which any person can follow in a minimum of time compared to other training programs. Whether you just want to make it around your block, or you're training for a marathon, this book will provide the motivation, and tell you whether a goal is realistic. With A Year Round Plan you will follow the specific workouts needed to get you ready for your challenge. THE AUTHOR Jeff Galloway, based in Atlanta, Georgia, was an average teenage runner who kept learning and working harder, until he became an Olympian. He is the author of the bestselling running book in North America and a Runner's World columnist, as well as an inspirational speaker to over 200 running and fitness sessions each year. Jeff Galloway has completed far more than 100 marathons, and he spends the time necessary to answer the questions of thousands of beginners, recreational runners, aspiring marathoners, and time goal runners every year. His innovative ideas have opened up the possibility of running and even completing a marathon to almost everyone. Philosophically, Jeff believes that we were all designed to run and walk, and he keeps finding ways to bring more people into the positive world of exercise.
