Since almost 65,000 students in the state of Florida now have access to participate in the Morning Mile at their schools, we’d love to encourage these Morning Milers and their parents to take part in some of the Disney 5K Family races. They’re one of the most truly wholesome athletic adventures a family can have. These races are non-competitive, fun [...]
On January 6, 2012 Morning Mile producer, Fitz Koehler, participated in the runDisney Family Fiesta 5K at EPCOT Center in Orlando, Florida. This race was part of the annual Disney Marathon event. Fitz ran the uber-fun race with her husband and six year old, Morning Mile loving son Parker, and caught up with a bunch of kids who participated to [...]
Congrats to Liberty Elementary’s 4th grader Mackenzie Worthy, who just earned her #100 charm for yes … running 100 miles! She ran 102 miles in just 32 days. Wow! We’re so excited to share in her outstanding accomplishment and encourage all of her peers to catch up! What a beautiful smile to match that super healthy and fit body of [...]
It’s no secret that the world wide obesity epidemic continues to grow at an alarming rate. Even more alarming, though, is the increase in childhood obesity and the major medical issues that accompany this condition. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and even the beginning stages of coronary artery disease are all on the rise in the pediatric population. The quest for [...]
We’d like to offer an ENORMOUS congrats to the rock star Morning Milers in the Miami-Dade Parks & Rec summer camp program. These amazing kids of all ages ran, walked and even wheeled (in wheel chairs) 32, 298.75 miles! When millions of other children were loafing on the couch this past summer, our South Florida Morning Milers were lacing up [...]
Fitzness International President, Fitz Koehler, recently sat down to talk fitness with “The Biggest Loser” trainer Bob Harper. The first half of the interview is dedicated to adult fitness fun and the latter half is dedicated to the Morning Mile. Enjoy!
Morning Mile has just completely changed the lives of our students. We have seen these kids become so motivated and addicted to fitness. We have also witnessed these children have better attention in the classroom on our morning mile days. God has blessed us in our first year, 2010-2011. These children just warm my heart and give me such joy each morning that we do [...]
A shotgun start! No … there’s not really a shotgun firing at any Morning Mile school, but you’d think there was. Nothing like seeing dozens of kids exuberantly and anxiously awaiting to bolt the moment their Morning Mile Coordinator or Coach says “go”! Wouldn’t it be awesome if adults were also so eager to run? Laughter and squeals: Yes indeedy! [...]
We are doing the Morning Mile and the students love it. About 87 students participate right now, and we’re hoping for more. They love the instant recognition and having music to listen to is really fun for them. . Keeping track of the data is very simple and at the end of the year, we’ll be able to print out [...]

“The Morning Mile is extremely popular with our students. We had over 100 participating yesterday and many are running/walking between a mile to a mile and a half each morning. The kids love it and we also have parents and younger siblings exercising, too. Great for our tardiness issue, since they are at school by 7:15 to start every [...]
Jeff Galloway is the real deal when it comes to running. He’s run an obscene amount of marathons throughout his life (he’ll tell you how many in this video interview) and has done so because he has a kinder, gentler approach to running. He’s a tremendous role model for active folks of all ages and shared some loving guidance for [...]

Parents, teachers, Principals and students have told us that participating in the Morning Mile enhances student’s ability to sit still, focus and learn, but it’s always nice when science says so too. This feature comes directly from BBC News. How well children perform in the classroom could be linked to how physically active they are, suggests a Dutch review of [...]

See how far the Morning Milers at Healthy Learning Academy have run. They’re collecting their miles to travel across the country from Washington D.C. to San Fransisco. See how far they’ve gone by visiting their google map here.
