Welcome to The Runegade Podcast: we're set to explore the human connection with running, through conversation, big stories, guest interviews and our own experiences - we're your hosts Mark Prociw and Todd Marentette Have you been struggling to come to terms that your running performance has been declining? You fear it will only get worse and worse, as you age? What can you learn from those who run strong through middle age and beyond? Episode 10: Liza Howard, long-time ultra runner & coach joins the podcast Liza ran her first ultramarathon in 2008 and has been balancing racing, training, work and a young family ever since. What's her secret? Liza has won several hundred-mile races and also held the USATF 100k and 50-mile national trail titles in 2011. Her 100-mile PR of 15:07 is one of the fastest trail times ever by a woman, run while nursing a newborn throughout the day. Proving that age is merely an arbitrary number, in July 2023, at the age of 51, Liza won the Badger 100 mile in a time of 16:50 - earning her Age Group Performance of the Year by Ultra Running Magazine - we love Ultra Running Magazine, check them out. Top coaches always give off a great vibe - and we can tell Liza is an amazing coach. Experience, she shares, is the best teacher and what a running resume she has amassed - Leadville, Keys 100, Umstead 100, Bandera 100k, Western States 100, Badwater 135, Javelina - just to name a few, and making all the mistakes along the way. She hasn't just "run" these races, she has dominated them. Setting course records and top finishes along the way. Come listen as we learn all about Liza, her running story still being written, while she shares coaching advice, tips and her thoughts on all things running and ultra. Liza shares her passion, Band of Runners: Their mission: to share the community of trail running and the physical and psychological benefits running in nature provides with veterans and their surviving family members.

So, I did a thing last week. I signed up for the Habenero Hundred on Aug. 12. I'm *only* doing the 20K because I'm crazy, but not insane. The real masochists are doing the 100-mile and 100K. Here's the rub: the race starts at high noon for the big distances. For the rest of us, we start at 12:30. PM. In August. In Texas. I'm hoping to not throw up because I am known to do that in the heat or if I ingest too much ice-cold water (but, oh, it tastes sooo good going down.) Also big shout-out to Liza Howard for winning the Badger 100. Other pod-adjacent folks who finished the 100 include Jenny Gruber and Lydia Rios. And high-five to my buddy, Chris Prairie for crushing the 50K. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestubborntortoise/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thestubborntortoise/support

Liza Howard is a longtime ultrarunner and running coach. Since her first ultra in 2008, she has won numerous 100-mile races including the Leadville 100 twice and multiple USATF Championships in the 50 mile and 100k distances. She completed the Marathon des Sables, a multi-day stage race in the Sahara Desert, twice, and ran for the United States at the 100k World Championships in Croatia in 2018. She's currently training for the Badwater 135, which will be held in Death Valley this July. In addition to running, Liza coaches for Sharman Ultra Coaching, teaches for NOLS Wilderness Medicine, and directs Band of Runners, a non-profit that supports veterans and their surviving family members by introducing them to trail running and the trail running community. Liza lives in San Antonio, Texas with her husband and two school-aged children. Sometimes she cleans the house too. Manny is a former Infantry Marine Reservist who deployed to Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2010 with 1st Marines, 23rd Battalion Alpha Company. While inactive from duty from 2006 to 2013, Manny worked as Personal Trainer who Specialized in Obstacle Course Training. Races like the Tough Mudder and Spartan are what first introduced him to trail running. Fast forward to 2019 - Manny is suffering from reoccurring running injuries and is told by his VA doctors that he should seriously consider not running. Fate said otherwise when he met Rob, who then got him in the Band of Runners Trail Running Camp, where he learned the skills to prevent injury and improve his running and met a community of trail runners who are all eager to see him succeed. And through the help and mentoring of the BOR community, Manny ran his first successful 50k at Hoka One Bandera, a virtual 50k hosted by BOR, his first 50 miler and 100k, and his first 100-mile race at the Badger. Now, through the Samaritan Center, Manny serves the community as a Mental Health Peer Coordinator where he coordinates and facilitates - mentoring, PTSD, substance abuse, life skills, and wellness groups - for Veterans in the Greater Austin community and helps run the Veteran's Re-Entry Dorm at the Travis State Jail for the Texas Department of Criminal justice. Manny is currently training for the Caballo Blanco Ultra, formerly known as the Copper Canyon Ultra. We had a lot of fun on this one! Liza has some great stories to tell, and she tells them with so much humor. We talk about how she balances training for the Badwater 135 with family life and a nagging hamstring injury. Liza shares her witty take on her Instagram posts after a long break from social media. Most importantly, we discuss Liza's passion project, Band of Runners. This is an important program that really makes a difference in the lives of Veteran's. Manny is a Veteran who participated in the program and then became a mentor. He has a caring heart and lives a purposeful life of helping others. He shares his experience with Band of Runners and how it has changed his life. Manny also talks about his many Ultra's and battling through injuries. We know you will enjoy getting to know Liza & Manny and learning more about Band of Runners. These are two very special people. Enjoy!

#71 - Liza Howard comes from an army family and a while ago, she decided that the best way she could give back to the community would be to set up the trail running camp Band of Runners.

She joins me this week talk about the camp and about her own running journey.For more info on the group and anything else mentioned in the episode, please visit the MRTW website at www.martharunstheworld.com for comments, questions or suggestions on future shows, please contact mt at martharunstheworld@gmail.com

Life can be overwhelming and busy, however that doesn’t mean you still can’t find time for yourself. Liza Howard, elite ultra-marathon runner, coach, employee at the National Outdoor Leadership School, and mother of two children knows in order to succeed in her sport and remain at the top of her running game she must find time to put in the miles. Despite a busy homelife, Liza has managed to win the Leadville 100, Rocky Racoon 100, and the Javelina Jundred. As opposed to making excuses, Liza has used a hectic schedule as a motivator to get out and run. Be Happy with Your Mess It may not always be easy to find time for you, but you have to. Liza says at some point, something has to give. You have your needs. For example, you have to work to earn money. You have to take care of your children. But you don’t always have to have the cleanest house, or the most well-manicured yard. You need to identify the things which are not as important for you to keep up on all the time and make peace with those things. Be happy with your mess. Realize there will be times when you have to make time for yourself for your own sanity. If you cannot keep up with everything, that’s fine. Allow yourself the time to go out and run. Allowing yourself the opportunity to go and train and to feel the freedom that comes with running will give you the necessary mental break and will make you a better mother, spouse, and person. Age is Just a Number Too often we put limitations on ourselves. Our mindset entering a run is just as important as our physical capabilities. It is not a useful mindset to believe we are too old and can no longer run or can’t compete anymore. Of course, as we get older there will be natural physical decreases, however, it seems to be us that put those limitations on ourselves. There will always be time to continue to improve. There are people, such as Liza, who are older runners, yet they are still continuing to win ultra-marathons, put in forty mile runs, and race Olympic qualifiers. Being fast is not as important as trying to get the most out of your body. Tips on Staying Motivated Finding the energy to get motivated can be a challenge. Set a scheduled time to when you can go out and run each day. If you miss that scheduled time, that’s ok. Don’t let that hang over your head. Just look forward to being able to run the next day. When you run don’t feel like you have to go out for an hour each time. Commit to five minutes. Get out the door, and once that five minutes hits, odds are you’ll want to continue running. Continue to make small commitments and as you accomplish those small goals, it will make setting and obtaining bigger goals easier. Don’t compare yourself to others. Some of your friends may be able to go out and run amazing trails and have these incredible training runs. That may not always be the case for you, and that’s ok. While training for Ultra-Marathon races Liza said she has had to run 40 miles on the treadmill and has a 2.1 mile loop near her house that she will run over and over again so that she can stop in and check on her family during her training runs. Someone else’s reality may not be your reality. But, continue to put in the miles and train for your race. One motivating factor Liza uses is always having a race on the calendar. If you have something to train for, you’ll have the desire to go run. You’ll want to show up race day with your best self: prepared, motivated, and with a positive attitude. A positive attitude allows you to go out and overcome obstacles. Sometimes, regardless of preparation, you may have a bad race. Don’t focus on the negatives, even if you have a bad race or a bad run. Use it to challenge yourself to do it again. Not only is Liza an amazing runner, she also does a lot for her community. Each year Liza works with approximately thirty veterans, through her Band of Runners trail camp, who are struggling to be physically active and connect with their communities. The camp’s mission is to share the community of trail running and the physical and psychological benefits associated with running in nature. It also helps to connect them with other trail runners in their communities and provide them with a strong support group.

Liza Howard is smart, funny, accomplished, humble, and by her own account … is extremely susceptible to peer pressure. She’s run marathons to impress a guy, still runs marathons for donut money, has won the Leadville 100 (and other big races) multiple times, is a coach, a parent, a NOLS Wilderness instructor, and the director of the terrific non-profit, Band of Runners. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and you are in for a treat.This conversation between me, Brendan Leonard, and Liza ranges from the absurd to the profound; upsets a lot of preconceived notions and conventional wisdom; and will make you laugh and think in equal measure.In short, Liza is a joy, and this conversation is a gift.TOPICS & TIMES:Donuts & Donut money (2:10)Winning the USA FIT Marathon (4:28)Getting into running to impress a boyfriend (9:54)Winning Leadville (13:00)Ultrarunning vs. Parenting (17:04)Trail running in San Antonio (24:22)Training in a flat region (30:00)Band of Runners (bandofrunners.org) (31:30)Training in heat for elevation?
