  • To the outside world, Markelle Taylor was an inmate. But behind the walls at San Quentin State Prison, he had a different reputation - the fastest athlete with unmatched grit. Now, he's racing on the world's biggest stages as a free man and making strides toward a better life. As part of the "CBS Mornings" series "Pushing the Limits," our lead national correspondent David Begnaud joined Taylor as he trains for his next race and overcomes obstacles along the way.

    We don’t talk enough about the the help people need before we vilify them… particularly on the internet. I’m so sorry for what happened but he clearly turned a heartbreaking mess into a message that can benefit so many lives. God bless this man. ❤️

      It highly depends what they’re in for. If somebody robbed me or somebody I cared about at gunpoint, I honestly wouldn’t care how they turn their life around. Edit: So he assaulted a pregnant woman and killed his own unborn child… Not quite a forgivable offense if we’re being honest.

      @@gummy5862 I get what you’re saying on the surface but what if the person you loved was the one holding someone at gun point? What if the details of the court filings and public charges weren’t quite factual - because I’ve learned that many are not? I could go on but the larger point is : what generational trauma did he inherit, by no fault of his own, that lead him to make poor choices? How can we deal with that? What opportunities did he have to learn proper emotional regulation and what reinforcements were in place to help him succeed? How can we make sure that happens for young men in his position? Most abusers were abused. Hurt people hurt people. I strongly believe we miss the point when we write someone off as “bad,” lock them up, and pat ourselves on the back cuz… he’s off the street. To me, this man’s scenario is as good as it can get for such a heat-breaking set of circumstances.
      He made poor decisions with poor tools and lost HIS own child as a result. He likely lost the woman he loved at the time, too. He was probably shattered and likely still replays that day in his head. But He used that time to actually rehabilitate his mental health and then found productive outlets and positive rewards. Then to speak so publicly and vulnerably, so the younger generation in his shores can avoid the same path or restore faith in themselves - you can’t ask for much more than that. There are people who are full of 💩 and haven’t learned anything from their punishment but He’s using the language of someone who has a healthy fear of ever becoming what he once was and showing a commitment to maintain the changes.
      Not that he would even care about my random self labeling him as unforgivable since he’s managed to do what most can’t and forgive himself … but either way I can’t find reason to consider him a lost cause.

    First of all, I can't believe this guy is 49yrs old! Proof that exercise has much influence. Listening to this story, I just wished this guy could have gotten help or someone to lend him some type of support to get help before things got out of control. But they say things happen for a reason and I guess this was his life lesson although it was difficult this may have been something that just had to be done in his life. Best wishes to this man!

      My mother would wake me up from sleep at 4 am and wash all of the clean dishes all over again if one fork or spoon had dried on food on it. It happened to me twice and to this day, I am a beast when I wash dishes. Fast forward, If my husband placed a dirty dish in the drying rack, I don't freak out I just put into the sink to be washed later. No way was I going to awake him or our teenage son to redo the dishes because of one dirty dish. I'd let our child know what was up so he would be careful next time. That's all.

      Respect and love to your for your home life coming up. It's terrible to know how many people have endured such an ordeal.
      Please don't put your outcomes on to other people. It's judgemental and unhelpful.
