ABOUT THIS REPLAY (TRIBUTE) 

I’m replaying this episode from July 2022—back when this show was called GRUFFtalk—because Jeff Galloway recently passed away. And I wanted to honor him the best way I know how: by letting you hear his voice, his encouragement, and the simple method that helped millions of people get moving.  

Jeff had a gift for making running feel possible, not intimidating. He used to say, “If you can walk, you can run.” That message didn’t just inspire me—it changed my life. Jeff’s Run/Walk/Run approach helped me train for my very first marathon… and since then I’ve run 17, with #18 on the horizon.  

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE 

• Exactly how the Run/Walk/Run method works (and why it’s so effective for beginners) 

• How walk breaks can help you go farther, feel better, and lower injury risk 

• Smart recovery basics—why rest is part of the plan, not a failure 

• Simple strategies to stay motivated (even if your “goal” is just getting out the door) 

• Jeff’s practical tips if running feels tough on your knees—including options for runners with arthritis
