In this chat with Allison Gaillard, Jeff Franco shares his journey from an unmotivated eighth grader pressed into running to a competitive, driven runner conquering numerous races.

Jeff discusses the significance of having the right running gear, especially shoes and socks, and how injuries got him into cross training and a healthier running lifestyle. He also delves into the immense fun he finds in running races - right from running in local groups, the races themselves, and the post-race celebrations where he indulges in his love for donuts.

Talking about his goals, Jeff expresses a desire to run a full marathon, discloses his competitive nature, and encourages listeners to get over inhibitions and just start running.
