Imagine facing a setback on the world stage, only to rise stronger than before. That's the Olympic spirit we dive into today with Jeff Galloway and co-host Mark Lane Holbert. In this episode of the You Can Do It podcast, we reflect on the resilience of athletes and the excitement of the ongoing Olympic trials. You'll hear Jeff recount a poignant story about his Munich Olympics roommate Rick Woolhutter, and how these personal tales mirror the struggles and potential comeback of runner Mo after her unfortunate fall.

Get ready to be inspired by the story of Coach Jean Holbert and her profound influence on her son, Mark Lane Holbert. Growing up in a household brimming with the passion for cross-country and track events, Mark's journey from a competitive youth runner to a marathon enthusiast is a testament to the transformative power of running. We'll explore his coaching experiences at USF and the Tampa Bay Galloway program, shedding light on how the Galloway method has helped sustain long-distance running and foster a sense of community and camaraderie among runners.

Discover how a small, innovative idea turned into a nationwide phenomenon with the Run Walk Run method. Starting from its humble beginnings at Phidippides, the first running specialty store in the U.S., to its integration into runDisney events, Jeff Galloway's approach has revolutionized running culture. We discuss the importance of research-based practices for long-term fitness, the role of the Magic Mile, and how running at a comfortable pace builds lasting friendships. Tune in for heartwarming stories of personal transformation and the ongoing influence of the Run Walk Run program in creating an inclusive and supportive running community.

In today's episode, we talk with Marko Cheseto. Marko's story is pretty crazy and unbelievable. Marko is a Kenyan born world record holder in the Marathon. But his journey to success is quite different than any other Kenyan Marathoner. Marko came to the US sight unseen in 2008 on a running scholarship to the University of Alaska. And yes, he had no idea what snow was. He would find success battling competitors on the track, but it was off the track where he was fighting a much more serious opponent. His struggle with mental health drove him to overdose on his antidepressants and go for one last run. When he miraculously emerged from the snow after three nights, he somehow managed to stumble to a hotel for help. His life changed both physically and mentally that day, and he would say for the better. Ten years of dedication, struggle, and learning to walk and run again on prosthetics, he has emerged as the fastest man to run 26.2 miles without legs. Marko's story is unbelievably inspiring and shines a light on the issue of mental health in today's society. We are delighted and honored to have Marko share his journey and story with us today.
