{{DISPLAYTITLE:Jeff Galloway's Marathon: You Can Do It!}}[[File:GallowayMarathon.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[http://www.amazon.com/dp/093607048X Marathon – : You Can Do It!]. ]]The Jeff Galloway training program is based around taking [[Walking Breaks]] to increase the distance that can be covered, and to run the [[Long Run]]s slowly. These plans are a good candidate for a 4:30-5:30 marathon runner and probably the best option for 5:30+ hour marathon runners. In addition they may be appropriate for people whose injury history makes running the marathon distance continuously problematic. The use of the Galloway approach for faster marathons is a little more controversial. (Note that Jeff Galloway has two books with Marathon plans – [http://www.amazon.com/dp/093607048X Marathon – : You Can Do It!] and the earlier [http://www.amazon.com/dp/0936070277 Galloway's Book on Running]. He also has more details on [[Walking Breaks]] in his book [http://www.amazon.com/dp/1782550062 The Run-Walk-Run Method]. (This article should be read in conjunction with my [[A Comparison of Marathon Training Plans| Comparison of Marathon Training Plans]].)
