The NIAID head and Coronavirus Task Force member is still reportedly logging runs.
Anthony Fauci, M.D., the 79-year-old longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health , is reportedly working 19 hours a day in the fight against the coronavirus. You’ve seen him: He’s the slight, bespectacled, plain-dealing Brooklynite at President Donald Trump’s elbow during most recent press conferences, providing a voice of sound, science-backed reason.
With his increased age and workload, Fauci has reportedly cut back his daily runs to 3.5 miles per day,. But back when a younger Fauci was working a lighter, 15-hour day to contain the AIDS epidemic in the ’80s and ’90s, he would build a lunchtime seven-miler into his schedule, five or six days a week, to keep his weight down, get outside, and relieve stress. His daily runs helped him cross the finish line at the 1984 Marine Corps Marathon in 3:37—a personal best.
