Exercise Each Day As If Your Life Depends On It!

- This is my daily exercise routine; my run to work is my run to keep my health!
I live 15 miles from my office in Midtown New York City. Each day I get to work by foot - I run to work! Exercise is one of the most important parts of my life, if I don't exercise daily I just don't feel good.
Having a tangible reason and benefit to running to work takes the mental pressure out of my mind on whether I will make time for exercise or not each day. I have to get to work, so I have to run, it's simple, it's routine, it's a better life and lifestyle.
When I'm training for ultra marathons I run home too! Running 'double' workouts is another secret to my success in staying injury free, being accomplished in the ultra distance races, and keeping mental burnout at bay.
If you can work your exercise into your daily routine so it has a tangible use and benefit then you'll have developed an important lifestyle habit that will improve all other areas of your life.
No excuses! You can commute to work too! Instal a shower at your office. Take a sponge bath in the bathroom. Shower and change at a local gym. Run home from work at the end of the day and shower at home, do it, you can make it happen!

Never ran more in my life than when I stayed with Mike in NYC.
If you want to be a better runner, hang around better runners.
Goes for anything in life.
Victoria talks about you in her videos. She has great things to say about you. She mentioned that you were like a brother to her and even if you act crazy, she still accepts you. She is so full of wisdom and I find that sexy as hell. Mike is a lucky guy! I hope he knows what he has. They do make a great team though. Victoria runs more because of Mike and she also changed him for the better by introducing him to a clean diet. I hope you guys all become a team again! The force would be way more effective to the world!
Run more again bro!
Mike is awesome. I've been wondering where he is these days !Does anyone know now that he's finished this time?🏂⛷️🏌️🕺💃🏃🏃🏃
I started running "regularly" about 4 months back and though I am nowhere close to your distance but love the dedication. I try to cover almost 7-8 miles a day first thing in the morning I wake up. Running has made me not only lose weight it has made me eat healthy, be energetic through out the day and has given me a self belief. I no longer use the word impossible instead my mantra is lets try to do it, lets see where we end up.
I absolutely believe that running should not be a chore rather it should be a routine like eating and sleeping. The sooner you have that mindset the more enjoying running becomes.
+Nishant Wadhwa Thats awesome. When do you sleep at night and when do you wake up?
8 miles this is nice
This guy doesn't give a fuck. Just runs right through traffic like there's no tomorrow
True, he thinks he's a car.
Can I like this video 100 time, when I was younger I used to walk to and from work everyday and I had the best legs. Now I'm going to try to find ways just to put some extra pavement on my feet. This video was so motivating. Thanks a lot!:)
I would run to school... But it's across the street
same😂
You never run in a straight line. When the distance to work or school is too short, you meander.
+Eddie Wu Why? Hating is like poisoning yourself and expecting the other person die. There is no room for hate in the world. It's useless.
Miles Ralls 😂😂😂
Wow... amazing!!! Okay, I'm inspired! Going to start upping the fruits and veggies immediately!! :)
what is incredible is this dude can talk so clearly while running. Now that is amazing condition. For the record, what is your heart rate(beats per minute)
+Amer Akber heart rate is individual , some people have more than others , keep in mind that , but is true that evry person that run that much is gonna lower there relaxing heart rate
How is this video not viral? This so impressive and so awesome!
Because most news shows and doctors will not support And all natural diet and no pharmaceuticals
This legend is running & speaking at the same time effortlessly.....❤
You are bad, bold, beautiful, and a little nutty. I love your audacity. Thank you for the inspiration. I do not run, but sometimes I find excuses not to do my yoga practice or to jump rope, or Pilates. Not any more. Bravo!
Wow! Absolutely amazing! So inspiring! Thank you.
This rocks. I am 12 miles from my work. I have run it about 5 times. However, it is a major production when I do. I aspire to be able to do it every week or twice a week---it is hard for me to image being able to do this everyday---I am usually walking by the end of my "run" to work.
However, this is still a noble, efficient, and inspiring thing you are doing.
You know-I know-you know... that running past people sitting in traffic feels good as f*ck! I loved it! Had to watch those last few minutes over a few times.
I first saw this video a little more than a year ago, at the end of my first full year of run-commuting. I showed it to my wife who replied: "why don't you film you own run-commute?".
So, I filmed my daily run-commute with a GoPro. The weather of Montreal provided the rest. 12 months later, 5300 km further and 430 runs stronger, enjoy some serious canadian meteorological events from the comfort of... wherever you may be: Beastie Runs: vimeo.com/87578324 (length: 3:22)
Love the vid man... Great
Great video - really enjoyed it. I guess I can't use the weather as an excuse when I'm feeling lazy ever again
sean bardsley : hehe, no you can't!
Good job dude !!!
Joan Roch Man, that was fantastic. You did a wonderful job putting that video together and the resolve to do that day in and out under those conditions is simply awe inspiring. Much respect!
OMG I'm so impressed with that video . Congratulations , well done xx love from London to you and your Wife
I don't run to work, but I cycle to and from work each day for 20 miles total, and then go back out and ride another 30 miles in the mid day. I can't run anymore because of knee damage, but I can still compete in cycling and there's nothing better for focusing the mind then a really good fast heart pumping ride to work, especially the hill I have to climb to get to work. Plus I'm lucky that I get to take my bike into work with me and store it in a safe locked up place. This guy in the video is really hardcore, good luck to him and his efforts to spread the word of healthy living.
Wow, 15 miles to work, not bad... and 30 when you're training for distance runs. Good choice of music too. Ratatat is on my player when I run.
I got mad props for this man
I hope someday I can share with someone else how much you've done for me.
hello. can you give us please more details on your run to work routine?, clean up process without a shower, cloths change without a wardrobe and more standar advice for people with common jobs and common restrooms at work.
When I was a senior instead of a getting a ride to school or riding a public bus to school and wasting money, I would speed walk for one hour and get exactly in time all sweaty though and second class was PE omg and then walk my way back home again after school I felt like I wasn't really tired getting home and to school was something I had to do and I was and great shape too:)
The most dangerous thing in the city is car doors. Yeah, Agreed! I used to ride my road bike from Astoria Queens down into Manhattan to work every day on W33rd. I can't tell you the number of bikers I saw getting clipped by car doors over those couple years. Horrifying! Anyway, you're in a place where car doors are not so much of a problem. Best of life Michael - ALOHA! Vern
thats like the little house that every child draws in childhood, the perfect house xx
damn dude... you inhaled a lot of smoke from the cars' exhausts... but it was just the last part (at least)
Running commute -- Will try that myself soon.
See you on the streets of NYC!
Awesome! Loved this. Thanks for posting.
this is awesome, quite deliberating. I wish I could do this. I am not a runner, but I do find joy when I get to walk to a destination. Way to go sir, that's really awesome!
Pure primal scream! That'S a cool 30 miles per days. Running is a way of living. I run to live.
I live in rural America, where I trian in solitiude and quiet on well maintained roads past open pastures and fields, over rolling hills, bridges with gentle creeks. I can run 15 miles and not meet 3 cars. I can't imagine training in NYC and Central Park.
WFF should have a march welcoming everyone to come out to Central Park where talked come be made products can be offered and excess fruit can be given away all in the effort to raise awareness!!! This is a MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here... brilliant stuff !
Manhattan is so awesome, you can just run right through traffic, in front of a cop, and he doesn't even flinch....
yes...agreed. methought after original posting, that biking would be better alternative....AND.....is what I am doing currently, daily; tks for commenting. Shalom Aleichem.
Lets take a moment -- is there a shower and clothes????
I was thinking the same thing . He must already have clothes and a place to shower. There was a time when I was thinking of biking to work since running isn't my thing.
just the fact that there is ratatat, fruitarianism, and running in this video makes it amazing
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!
Awesome video.#gets up grunting off the couch to exercise
1. Where are your workclothes?
2. Do you take a shower when you get to work?
I would love to do this, but there seems to be so many inconveniences.
This is so awesome. If I lived in NY, I would run the whole thing with you.
I have more energy (from my nutrition) than my body can handle every day in exercise.
Just started watching you videos after I ran across your Spartathalon fail and comeback. Awesome stuff. Sorry you're no longer crushing it but love the lifestyle here. Wish my body would let me run like that.
negative comments are discouraging and depressing
similar distance from my house to office 15miles but i would have 3 problems doing the same: it would take me many hours, i would not have shower or fresh clothes to change in office, and finally i would need to sleep after every 15miles. lol
agreed, good observation
Gee he is pretty quick. 28km a day run at that pace is good stuff. One thing that he is doing as well...is the time deadline, gotta get to work on time.
more than 1 marathon EVERY DAY .. this guy is aweomse
At his workplace and at his workplace :) He installed a shower and has his clothes there. Also he gives free fresh fruits to his employees
This is truly amazing!
I would love to run to work each day, but I can't arrive at work all sweaty. I would definitely need a shower!!
Dang, this guy is blinding me with his positive attitude, I'm much more grumpy on the way in to work.
Speaking of berrys...I eat blackberries in late summer. When I run, I don't feel hungry, but I know I have to eat some protein or my muscles will not be replenished for the next run.
JEEZE!!!! This guy is sooo awesome!!! Such an inspiration!!!
Everyday on my runs, I get about 3-5 close encounters with cars almost hitting me. It's a part of running in the city
Love it!! I am so inspired by your videos, please keep them coming! I am training for my first Marathon this Nov 6, 2011. And I am totally hooked, planning my next one!
I can not imagine it's healthy to run in a polluted city every day. It is awesome to train like that every day but I have read about people with health problems as a result of training in polluted areas every day.
When you only eat high quality fruit, you only make high quality videos. Great stuff Mike!
I don't know whether to be amazed or extremely jealous. This guy is living life at a 10.
Hi ---love you're trifecta for health. I'm going to watch more of your videos. Inspiring. I hate when hear people getting back into meat as in the paleo diet in which carbs are the enemy! How can eating critters be the best path for our planet? Anyway, I'm preaching to the choir, but thanks.
That's very encouraging
its good to see you running just make sure you watch out for those cars!
Haha he's just running through the cars like nothing
2 days until my 2nd marathon (inspired by the frutarian) and im playing this video every morning
Looks like he is running from an area NW of Manhattan into Manhattan. There are gyms all over the city. You could get a membership deal somewhere and use their showers. Maybe companies and health care plans will subsidize memberships. And the membership will pay for itself with the money you are saving on train/subway fare and parking fees. Biking is another option if impact/time/showering are the concerns.
Trifecta ... Exercise + Raw Fruit/Vegetables + Sleep ... sounds good to me!
At 00:36 they say to you "Vaffanculo!" :) Probably they're Italians and it means... well, they don't like you run in the middle of the street. Btw thanks you for being so inspiring!
Great video and what a fantastic way to get to work. Can I just ask....does your workplace provide shower facilities and large lockers for your work clothes ? I think this is a stumbling block to most people running to work....getting sweaty and no changing facilities. You must work for a good company 👍👍
totally inspirational
Very cool video! And that's coming from someone who can't run past then end of the fence.
Very inspiring!
What's in your bottle? What juice is it? Well done! You are very inspiring!!
you are my hero !
This is an inspirational video 👍
Loved your video. Looking forward for more such content from you. Damn inspiring!
That's so cool! But why the hell do you run in the middle of the road when there's a huge sidewalk right there LMAO that's why the city is so dangerous because you're playing peek a boo with cars
Hy
Yeah and that's why I love living in Europe. Most of the big cities here in Finland have banned cars in their city centre.
Wow. Wish they did that here in 🇺🇸.
yup ..smoke from car is bad too ...
drive one day a week and leave enough there for the next week. I'm sure you can figure something out. I need to figure this out for me, I have no idea how to get to my work by foot... It's about 25 miles, but I'm sure I can find a shorter route through small streets, I live in Germany now though and I have no idea how to find those paths etc. I have my work cut out for me.
thanks for the tip! I am looking foward to running to highschool too!
Holy fuck thats a killer pace for 15 miles!!
Beat that cab Mike, beat that cab!
What do you do in the winter time? Do you just bundle up and work the same routine?
This is priorities getting in that workout on the way to work or reworking your schedule to get that daily run is essential to daily positivity I think when your goal everyday is to make some positive choices like run fruit sleep you have a better outlook on life and it keeps your mind in a positive state
You look in great shape! 2 months ago I was having a running schedule, got a throat infection, prescribed anti-biotics killed my intestinal flora, and provoked a painful gastritis. I kept doing yoga and stretching. Sidetracked by all that, I read a book by Mark Lauren on bodyweight exercises, where he refutes the benefits of running. My motivation plummeted and confusion increased. Can you help me on this? Is running really good?
I watch this video once in a while to dream about the day I can have that type of mileage base. Next summer or die trying!
Cool!
Whats the name of the first song of this fantastic motivational vídeo?
Great inspiration ! Congratulations ! I'm considering running to school. Do you have suggestions on how to run with water, fruits&books 10 km ? I'd highly appreciate your opinion. Thanks !
1.) ...and he thought he was getting his own office because of his work skills. 2.) The trifecta of health left out an important #4 -- beer.
Great video - greetings from germany
I'm watching your stride Mike, and it seems like you land mid-foot, superior to the common heal to toe method, and it appears that you are wearing a shoe with minimal sole. Do you prefer a minimalist shoe and concentrate on landing on the ball of your foot? I am looking it "barefoot shoes" such as the Nike Free and Vibram Five Fingers, and am interested in your opinion. Thanks for all the great videos, can't get enough!
Good, inspirational stuff man. ~ Jeremy Snowden
@franzabananza I worked at IBM and we had showers for runners. I suspect many companies encourage exercise.
Great video.
I wonder how long it took him to run those 15 miles. how early does he have to leave his house?!
He's the CEO of a company so he has a lot of freedom.
love this video
What a concept! How do you run so much?
I envy him!! I want to run across nyc!
Oh my. I want to be this healthy..
He owns is own highly successful business so he can turn up sweaty if he wants! Plus he has a shower at his office, please don't be jugdemental and negative till you have at least looked a bit deeper. Ironic how you tell others to open there eyes when you yourself make blind comments!
Peace
i would run to work only 10K away but its on a major high way where no cyclists or walking/running aren't aloud. so i run after work :) right next to a bike trail with 50 miles at my disposal :P
great video man super inspiring glad I came across it
