A New Start: Jeff Talks The Power of Run Walk Run and Olympic Resilience

You Can Do It with JEFF GALLOWAY

Imagine facing a setback on the world stage, only to rise stronger than before. That's the Olympic spirit we dive into today with Jeff Galloway and co-host Mark Lane Holbert. In this episode of the You Can Do It podcast, we reflect on the resilience of athletes and the excitement of the ongoing Olympic trials. You'll hear Jeff recount a poignant story about his Munich Olympics roommate Rick Woolhutter, and how these personal tales mirror the struggles and potential comeback of runner Mo after her unfortunate fall.
Get ready to be inspired by the story of Coach Jean Holbert and her profound influence on her son, Mark Lane Holbert. Growing up in a household brimming with the passion for cross-country and track events, Mark's journey from a competitive youth runner to a marathon enthusiast is a testament to the transformative power of running. We'll explore his coaching experiences at USF and the Tampa Bay Galloway program, shedding light on how the Galloway method has helped sustain long-distance running and foster a sense of community and camaraderie among runners.
Discover how a small, innovative idea turned into a nationwide phenomenon with the Run Walk Run method. Starting from its humble beginnings at Phidippides, the first running specialty store in the U.S., to its integration into runDisney events, Jeff Galloway's approach has revolutionized running culture. We discuss the importance of research-based practices for long-term fitness, the role of the Magic Mile, and how running at a comfortable pace builds lasting friendships. Tune in for heartwarming stories of personal transformation and the ongoing influence of the Run Walk Run program in creating an inclusive and supportive running community.
