About this episode
Jeff was an average high school runner, who, by not giving up, went on to be an All-American at Florida State, and an Olympic Athlete (1972 10,000m). He started running as an avenue to be part of a high school team, when he was told that the cross country coach was the most lenient of all coaches. It didn’t take long for Jeff to realize how running could change his life. Jeff is the creator of the strategic Run-Walk-Run method as a way to increase fitness levels without accruing injuries. He is a well read and well educated coach that has written several books, most notably, Galloway’s Book on Running https://rb.gy/xzvdth Which is regarded as the quintessential book on the art and science of running. The “Human Metronome”, when it comes to pacing, Jeff finds a great deal of satisfaction in training and mentoring other runners, believing that he can coach runners to run until they are 100. Jeff’s his biggest thrill was when he paced his friend Jack Bacheler to qualify for the 1972 Olympics.
