Jeff Galloway, the much-loved mentor of many American runners, who became a formative figure in the running movement by his tireless promotion of the sport and its life benefits, died on Wednesday at the age of 80 from complications from a stroke and brain bleeding, Runner’s World has learned.

After becoming what he called an “unlikely Olympian,” Galloway applied his teaching skills to his love of running, and for more than 50 years he was ingeniously inventive in finding ways to recruit, inspire, and educate runners. He was a pioneer of the run/walk method, also known as the “Galloway Method” or “Jeffing,” which instructed runners to add walking intervals into their runs.
