Step back in time with us as we relive the poignant and powerful Olympic journey of runner and coach Jeff Galloway amid the energy of Atlanta. Our special episode, recorded with a live studio audience during the Jeff Galloway weekend, takes you through the highs and lows—from his electrifying qualification for the 1972 Olympics to the intense race that tested his limits. Jeff paints a vivid picture of training with the legendary Bill Bowerman, the friendships formed, and the life lessons learned, transporting you to a time of pure athletic pursuit.

The thrill of competition is matched by the emotion of Jeff's Olympic race story, where overtraining and illness cast shadows over athletic dreams. The conversation takes a somber turn as we remember the Black September incident and its impact on the athletes and the Games. Yet, in the midst of challenge, Jeff's narrative is punctuated with moments of lightness—family support, the unexpected presence of Bing Crosby, and the cherished Olympic tradition of pin trading that even Steve Prefontaine couldn't escape.

As the episode unfolds, the spirit of the Olympics comes alive with tales of international camaraderie and Jeff's personal reflections on the legendary Steve Prefontaine. The legacy of "Pre" continues to inspire runners today, and we honor his memory with stories of his tenacity, empathy, and unyielding passion for the sport. Join us for this unique blend of personal anecdotes, historical insights, and the electric atmosphere of our first live recording—an experience that we invite you to be a part of as we continue to bring more inspiring stories and guests to the forefront.
