Even considering the swamp this site can be, I’m astonished and disgusted by the down cups some cretins have left on yours and others comments.
I’m one of those people who Jeff’s book got off the couch after not running for 10 years after college. I chose it because, as a runner in the 70s, I knew of his accomplishments. It was a great kickstart and led me to more advanced training sources.
I didn’t personally know him but he appeared to be a rarity. One who was ultimately successful and influential in his career yet remained grounded and humble. Thanks Jeff for your contribution to the sport we love and RIP.
As a younger master, at 65 I would have scoffed at walking. At 73, and several years of non-running I met two Galloway disciples older than myself. They got me on the Gym Boss timer and routine of 1:20 running and 0:10 walking. It made all the difference. My PT theorizes it is the unloading of the tendon.
In regard to downvotes, I have been on this site long enough to have accumulated my detractors. It really does not matter what the topic is.
