In this episode of Run Long After 60, I speak with Miriam Gilbert — known to many as “UltraMiriam” — about what it means to run healing miles in your late 60s.

Miriam’s story begins long before the trails. As a child, she faced serious health challenges. As an adult, she became a caregiver. Running didn’t enter her life as competition — it entered as restoration. Over time, endurance became both therapy and testimony.

At 67, Miriam is not chasing podiums. She’s chasing wholeness. Her miles carry memory, resilience, and a quiet strength that doesn’t need to announce itself.

We talk about:

• Starting and continuing ultrarunning later in life
• Caregiving, survival, and identity beyond the label
• Running as emotional and physical healing
• Mental endurance vs. physical endurance
• Why movement can be medicine
• Aging as sharpening — not shrinking

Whether you’re navigating recovery, supporting someone you love, or wondering if it’s too late to start again, this conversation will meet you where you are.
