As Mike Fremont steadily jogs along his favorite routes near his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, he “salutes” nearly everyone he passes. They know him well, because at age 100, Fremont has been running these same paths for decades.
“They’re all accustomed to me,” he tells PEOPLE. “They say, ‘I’ve seen you here for 40 years!’ "
Fremont issomething of a running celebrity, even outside of Cincinnati — he holds multiple single-age world running records in everything from the mile to the marathon — but he came to the sport later in his long life.
