In this episode of The People Run Podcast, I sit down with Maurice Lowman, a runner known for his consistency, positivity, and deep commitment to the running community.

Maurice has completed 44 marathons, including seven Boston Marathons, and often races in a suit to give back and raise awareness for causes he believes in. We talk about marathon longevity, training through setbacks, strength work, and the role community plays in long-term consistency.

Maurice also shares how running became a steady anchor during a major life reset not as a shortcut or fix, but as something that gave structure, accountability, and purpose over time. This conversation is a reminder that running isn’t just about finish times it’s about showing up, staying grounded, and continuing to move forward.
