Jeff Galloway, who inspired people with his run-walk method, dies at 80

Jeff Galloway, a member of the 1972 U.S. Olympic team who for decades inspired elite athletes and countless everyday runners by promoting a run-walk-run strategy, whether in a marathon or just a neighborhood jog, died Wednesday at age 80. Galloway had a hemorrhagic stroke and died at a hospital in Pensacola, Florida, daughter-in-law Carissa Galloway said. Galloway's family announced the surgery on Feb. 20 and invited the public to express support.
