About this listen

Run Long After 60 is a podcast about durability, curiosity, and continuing to do hard things as the years stack up.

Hosted by Mark Vega, the show features long-form conversations with runners, endurance athletes, coaches, creatives, and professionals who are still showing up — often well past the age when society expects people to slow down.

This is not a podcast about speed, podiums, or shortcuts.


It’s about adaptation. Perspective. And learning how to keep moving forward — physically, mentally, and creatively — over the long arc of a life.

Episodes are often recorded in motion, including running intros captured mid-workout, because this show isn’t about talking around endurance. It’s about living it.

Conversations explore training, aging, setbacks, reinvention, discipline, failure, resilience, and the quiet decisions that allow people to keep going long after others have stopped.

Run Long After 60 is for anyone who believes that endurance doesn’t expire — it evolves.

    Episode 19 - Lauri Rottmayer | The Aging Rebel Training for Her First Ultra
    Feb 5 2026

    In this episode of Run Long After 60, I speak with Lauri Rottmayer — The Aging Rebel — about what it really means to start chasing distance later in life.

    Lauri is training for her first ultra in her 60s, and she shares the unfiltered reality: the mental resistance that shows up early in long runs, the discipline required to keep going, and the wisdom of choosing durability over ego.

    A former Marine, Lauri brings a grounded, life-affirming approach to fitness and aging — one that rejects shrinking, fear-based narratives and instead embraces movement, strength training, sleep, and consistency.

    We talk about:

    • Running long after 60
    • Mental resilience and self-talk
    • Why strength training matters more than ever
    • Finishing versus racing
    • And how aging can be a gift — if you choose to open it

    Whether you run, walk, hike, or are just thinking about starting again, this conversation will meet you where you are.
