The authors Jeff Galloway was an average teenage runner who kept learning and working harder, until he became an Olympian. He is the author of the best-selling running book in North America (Galloway's Book on Running) and is a Runner's World columnist, as well as an inspirational speaker for more than 200 running and fitness sessions each year. He has worked with over 150,000 average people in training for specific goals and Galloway's quest for an injury-free marathon training program led him to develop group training programs in 1978. Galloway is the designer of the walk-run, low mileage marathon training program (Galloway RUN-WALK method) with an over 98% success rate. After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Oregon, David Hannaford went to the Podiatric Medical School in San Francisco. Returning to Oregon to practice, he treated professional, recreational and U of O athletes where he had a staff appointment. Five years later, leaving Eugene for Seattle, he worked in the Sports Medicine Division of The Virginia Mason Hospital. Since 1991, he runs a private practice in the San Francisco area where he almost exclusively treats runners. Some of the best athletes in the world are among his patients. During his time at the University of Oregon, he himself began his career as an avid runner. After hundreds of races, his running interest has progressed to ultra marathoning. He has currently completed 46 ultra marathons and become the 2nd place man (at 51 years old) in the Badwater 135 mile race in Death Valley, CA (126 °F heat).
