Kicked off running camp with an hour's run along Scenic Drive with Jeff Galloway.

Key Take-Aways from our first run:

• Jeff is still recovering from his heart attack earlier this year. He's listening to his body and using everything he's learned coaching others to navigate his own cardiac comeback now.
• Major perk of being a slower runner myself is that I got to run with Jeff while the others took off ahead. I definitely chose the better portion!
• Listening to his heart, Jeff runs a 10 second / 30 second run/walk interval for the first 20 minutes of his run. This allows his heart to get warmed up. I loved this 20 minute warm-up time which gave us a chance to admire the scenery, and share stories.
• After his warm-up, Jeff switches to a 15 second / 15 second run/walk interval, which he used even before his heart attack to run a marathon a month.
• If you do it right, 15/15 is a GREAT interval split!
• An hour of running can seem like just a few minutes when the pace is swift and the stories are grand.
• There is so much more to Jeff Galloway than running or coaching. He is a national treasure!
