The Fitness Routine of 100 Year Old Runner Mike Fremont | Rich Roll Podcast 697

Mike Fremont is a 100-year-old retired engineer turned climate activist who - in addition to being pretty darn with it – holds a slew of age group world records, including the fastest recorded marathon for a 91-year-old, and at 96, he set the American one-mile record for his age group, and at 99 he raced the Canoe National USCA Championships. Now at 100 years old, he has no intention of stopping.

What’s perhaps most remarkable about Mike is that his running career didn’t even kick into high gear until his 60s – which - for context - was 40 years ago. If you may be feeling like it’s too late -that you’ve missed the boat on regaining fitness, take a cue from Mike because it certainly is not.

I loved chatting with him – I consider him a new friend – and I’m proud to share his story with you.

Doing pull-ups at 100 and I can’t do them at 32. I need to get my life together and fast. This guy looks great.

[tomlib]

This is the definition of a self actualized human being

[mrc.p]

Its been a pleasure!! ...Yes sir, its been a pleasure to listen to you talk about your experience👍

[TechOutAdam]

Age is truly just a number. Loved what he said about stress and diet. It's so true!

[stevecollis]

Seems like an amazing chap, looking forward to watching the whole interview Rich.

[l-train]

I too want to say “it’s been a pleasure” when I’m his age💜

[dahhhkness]

Wow. That smile is so full of life and brightness, I truly envy him

[giovanniruiz]

He's going for another 22 years, what a legend

[asabovesobelow]

I love you sir! I thank you for the opportunity to be in this realm with you.

[johnnytheyoungmaestro]

That's incredible. I walk for one of my hobbies, and it feels great. I hope to be walking into my 70s, 80s, or even my 90s, if I make it that far. Bravo, sir! :)

[evedotcom]

Had to google the conversion of miles to km to get a sense of how much a week he was doing and ?!?!? wtf?! Even going down to 5 miles, 3 x a week is WAY more than I’m doing and feel capable of at this moment in my early 30s. Amazing! I’ve just recently got into running and feeling very inspired 💛

Psychologically speaking, it's entirely possible the Rich Roll Podcast could be more successful if the table was shorter, which results in guests feeling safer, closer and able to be more vulnerable. 💯

[Duane_the_carpenters_Sensei]

bless this man and everything he lives for.

[cruzleonelramos]

The level of respect this man has from me because he is were I hope to be one day.

[karenjudd]

HE'S A PLEASURE !! HE MADE MY DAY 🥰

[mattellinger]

This really puts into perspective what all I'm putting my body through; I'm definitely not going to make it that far even now, I can just feel it. I need to make some big changes in my diet and actually start exercising

I don't want to lose/leave everything I love and have worked for 20-30 years earlier than I could have lived with it all :(

[eduardojuarezsanchez]

Love seeing both angles! Great work team. Loving the podcast as always!

[ronsuriyopas]

Man, how the hell could anyone manage to run 10 miles THREE TIMES A WEEK all the way up to 98?? I was able to run a 5K (roughly 3.1 miles) when I was around my mid-30s. Today I'm 43 and will tire out pretty good after running just a mile. This guy is truly super human!

[genericwatcher]

Having a good SOCIAL LIFE is more important than exercise and diet
