I tried 'Jeffing' to get back into running - now the walk/run method is a staple in my routine

Jeffing is an exercise developed and named after Olympian athlete and coach Jeff Galloway. Instead of running for endless minutes, the technique encourages runners to incorporate some walking into their workout.

I got into Jeffing without knowing what it was. After my first marathon last year, I didn't run for about three months. I was tired of the training schedule, and after months out of my running shoes, I was nervous. So, instead of aiming for a 5km or even running for 20 minutes, I returned to the walk/run workout I did when I first started running over six years ago.
