Same here...not taking anything away from him, but that kind of exaggeration is silly.Quote

Absolutely, but far from the first time this sort of nonsense has been peddled. So many times I've read that he does 10 miles a show but work that out - he'd be moving at 5 miles an hour for the whole show. It's ridiculous. None of which is to say of course that he's not incredibly fit; he obviously is and it's been an inspiration to me for many years now.

Yeah I've always hoped he would at least write a book/article on how he keeps fit more in depth for daily use for us all...
They all look fantastic. Mick of course is a physical marvel, but Ronnie is remarkably fit himself, especially when you consider all the abuse he subjected himself to.Quote

The one that amazes me the most is Ronnie, i mean he has buried himself in drink and drugs for most of his life and he is so fit now, he's this ball of energy all over the stage, almost 71, he never moved like that when he was young, his body looks as good as Mick's and he appears to have done very little to get these results.
Ronnie is a one off, a one in a million, he was never bloated when he drank, never got fat, just mind boggling.
He only gave up cigarettes a couple years ago.
These guys are all unreal, Keith the comeback man of all time, Charlie back from cancer, its just outside of reality, fictional stuff but its real.

12 miles in 2 hours that's 6 miles per hour, means Mick is running fast the whole time. Wow. so when he stops for a few slow numbers that means he must run at 9 miles per hour the rest of the gig to cover 12 miles, wow that's sprinting, that's impressive, perhaps he runs so fast we miss him and it looks like he's walking fast..
He can run, and he does run on stage from time to time but this is the Daily Mail again, its likely BS.
I doubt he runs 8 miles a day when training these days, its like they take bits from previous interviews over the years and put them into one, running 8 miles a day would be crazy for someone his age, it would make him prone to injury's running 56 miles per week, i think he might have done that in 81' 82' when that video clip was recorded. I'm sure Mick said a few years back that he doesn't do running so much these days. He probably jogs 3 or 4 miles on the treadmill to warm up in the gym.
He's obviously in great shape for his age and he's not about to let the public know his secrets, there are enhancers out there these days that he won't go into, Mick never reveals what he takes and how he trains and eats in any detail, perhaps this article is genuine but i can't see it. Pasta before he goes on stage, food smoothies shakes for breakfast or dinner. So when he and Matt go to dinner in these lovely restaurants Mick orders a smoothie with extra protein ( get out of here )
I know lots of people who do yoga and drink smoothies and eat pasta but they can't do what Mick does. His main thing is he needs to sing while on the go and that takes more that Pilates and Ballet , there is more to it than that.
I bet he orders a lovely meal each day at some point, he's earnt it. The amount of training Mick does and live shows would enable him to eat well, he's still lean and muscular and those muscles burn calories, can't think of anyone his age who looks as physically young as him, whatever he does its working.
If he wrote a food and exercise book i and many others would buy it straight away.
Mick needs a good shape for the gigs and win his money.Quote

Sure, good for him. But you can't fight age anyhow.
That's not true. Proper form, warming up and good footwear are all essential.Quote

I would bet he never runs at all. Even if you are very fit, your knees can only take a certain amount of wear and tear before they are permanently injured. Running is a very costly form of exercise.

The irony of this statement coming from a tabloid is obviously lost on the idiot who wrote it

6 mph is not fast, and 9 mph is not sprinting.
Keithsman
9 mph will take you just over two and a half hours to complete a marathon, that's fast, easily beats my fastest time of 3 and a half hours.
OK its not sprinting but its an average over 2 hours, who sprints for 2 hours.

I think 9mph would get you to the finish line in 2:54:48, closer to 3 hours.

slightly different article, with hilarious photoshops
[www.thesun.co.uk]
"Where he once drank to escape, now Mick favours mediation, having even spent
time enjoying the practice with monks in Thailand and Laos." (also Cambodia
and India, as I have previously reported -- revvy) "Mick admitted: 'It's
too debilitating to drink a lot, so I use other relaxation techniques...
I sit on my own, calm down, take stock.'"
