Question: Can anyone finish a marathon?
Answer: I’ve heard from well over ten thousand runners, including many in their 60’s and 70’s, who take their first running steps in our Galloway program and finish a marathon within 9 months. Those who could not run around the block have used the Galloway program to finish with strength without injury. Almost anyone can finish a marathon if they 1) go slowly enough on the long runs, 2) gradually build the distance of the long one close to 26 miles, and 3) use the correct run-walk-run ratio, according to my experience.
