    The Marathon Pacing Strategy That Actually Beats the Negative Split

    The golden rule of marathon pacing is the negative split. Start conservative, finish faster. But is that really the ideal way to pace?  Maybe not. You'll learn: Why the negative split might not be the best way to pace a marathon, How the course itself, flat or hilly, can trick you into pacing mistakes  How to use your effort with your watch to know if you should push or hang on If you’ve never run the second half faster than the first, like me, or if you always have, this is the episode for you. Welcome to the Planted Runner. I’m Coach Claire Bartholic and my mission is to help you improve your running, your mindset, and your life with science-backed training and plant-based nutrition. If you need more help, you can order my book The Planted Runner: Running Your Best With Plant-Based Nutrition wherever you get books or request a copy from your local library.  Don’t forget to stay tuned all the way to the end of the episode for another Mental Strength Minute. Fortify your mind in 60 seconds or less.

RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Master's Runner/ Assistant Collegiate XC/Track Coach Coach Claire has provided a simple tool for our athletes that I have shared with some of our runners that need the reset! I have coached hs XC/track since 2004 and this is a wonderful free resource that I have shared with a number of our runners in our first one on one meetings this year. I am an avid listener of the planted runner podcast and would love for Coach Claire to take me on for Boston 2027. That will be marathon number 77 and would love to break 3 hrs again as a 50 year old grand masters runner! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Informative, Inspiring, and Fun!  Always able to pick up a few pieces of info that's relevant and I can quickly put to use. Super helpful always!  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Helpful, Different than all the others  I found Claire by searching "best podcasts for runners" and nearly immediately discovered that this was a much different show than the rest. Her ability to include ways to improve your cognitive skills in a way that improves your running is fantastic in that she doesn't simply explain the subject she provides the tools. I signed up for her Begin With Ten program as well specifically to work on this though the simple "readiness reset" will be enough to get started for most. Thank You, Claire.  Get the Readiness Reset here: https://www.theplantedrunner.com/reset Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat

    Now is Actually the Hardest Part in a Fall Marathon Build

    Today, we're talking about the part of marathon training nobody talks about: the middle. Whether you're nine weeks out from an early October race or twelve weeks out from something in November, you're almost there. You'll learn:  Why this phase often feels harder than it should What your training should actually look like this month  And how to get through the grind without second-guessing months of good work One thing that can definitely help immediately is taking a few moments before your run to breathe and reset.

Thank You, Claire.  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐So positive and helpful! 😍 Love this podcast and all the topics! Been listening for probably 2 years now and Claire is an amazing host. I appreciate how she keeps episodes concise with the occasional longer episode with a guest. As a vegan, I totally dig the plant-based info, but that is not the basis of most episodes–running is.  All the episodes I’ve listened to are encouraging and so positive. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A highlight of my week It is a gift to be able to have a space for plant-based runners to learn!  Claire’s advice is always solid and not just limited to the plant-based, but doesn’t include fueling your runs with unhealthy foods, which seems to happen on other podcasts.  Thank you!

    How to Become Pain Free With Neuroscience Not Drugs

    Pain and the brain have a nuanced relationship.  Pain can stem from biological, behavioral, and social situations that we are not even aware of. And what’s even more fascinating, especially if you have chronic pain, is that pain can be eliminated and pain tolerance can be trained. In this conversation with Dr Eric Anderson, a neurologist at Lin Health, we go into how everyone, especially runners can change their relationship with pain and even eliminate chronic pain. We go over: Why chronic and acute pain are different in the brain How to train your pain tolerance and eliminate triggers, and How your nervous system is directly connected to the amount of pain you feel And if you’d like to experience one way of brain training for when running gets hard, I’ve made something just for you.  It’s called the Readiness Reset and you can get it for free right now.
