Summary
We were so sad to hear about the passing of America’s Coach Jeff Galloway this past Wednesday at the age of 80. Jeff was so important to our own running journeys, as his Run-Walk-Run method has gotten us out on the streets and trails and over finish lines again and again. We will miss Jeff so much, and he will always be in our hearts as we continue to run (walk-run) into and beyond our middle age.
To honor him we decided to rerelease our interview with Jeff from July 2022. Topics range from pro-walking to winning marathons to exercise psychology to the history of running for fitness in America. And in our closing segment “Jeff Galloway, Block Deflector,” we lob excuses at the master and he batts them away without breaking a sweat. It is truly a thing to behold.
We love you Jeff! And Happy Run-Walk-Running, Gomernation.

| 0:04.2 | Anthony and I were really sad to hear that Jeff Galloway, |
| 0:09.0 | America's coach, died this past Wednesday at the age of 80. |
| 0:14.9 | Jeff Galloway, long-time listeners will know him. |
| 0:19.6 | He invented the run-walk run method that has been such an integral part of our lives and |

| 0:31.5 | You know, I just had my leg surgery. |
| 0:35.0 | I'm going out tomorrow to run for the first time since then, and I am |
| 0:40.4 | running with the run-walk run method. This past marathon, sorry, half-marathon that Anthony and I just |
| 0:46.8 | did. In January, we did the run-walk run method. This has gotten us out on the road, out on the trails in a way that no other running |
| 0:59.1 | method, running strategy has done. And we know that it's done that for thousands, tens of thousands, |
| 1:06.1 | hundreds of thousands of amateur runners all over the world. So what we thought we would do is repost our interview with Jeff Galloway from 2022, |
| 1:17.8 | the biggest get we ever got on the Two Gomer's podcast. |
| 1:23.1 | You're about to hear that full interview with him, and you're going to hear really who he was, |
| 1:29.2 | right? |
| 1:29.5 | Like he was so wise, so fun. |
| 1:36.9 | He really rolled with our punches, our technical difficulties, but also just our general |
| 1:42.9 | goofiness and our fun ideas that we had for him. |
| 1:46.6 | He was so game. |
| 1:48.2 | And so we re-labled him, Jeff Galloway, block deflector. |
| 1:53.0 | We threw running blocks at him, and he just would bat them away without a second thought. |
