The Planted Runner

You’ve already made two of the best decisions of your life as a plant-based runner. Now it’s time to get better at both every week. I’m Coach Claire Bartholic, and I went from not running at all to finishing a marathon in 2:58 at age 42, all on a plant-based diet. I’ve coached hundreds of vegan, vegetarian, and plant-curious runners of all ages and abilities with science-backed training, plant-based nutrition, and proven mental strength techniques. Whether you are training for your first 5k or your 50th marathon, you can start exactly where you are right now, and get better today.

    How To Turn The Dreaded DNF Into A Running Triumph

    No one starts a race expecting to quit. But if you race often enough, it will likely happen to you. Sometimes quitting in the middle of a race is absolutely the right thing to do. Other times, quitting is just quitting and you will be full of regret when you do. How can you tell? And more importantly, how can you turn it into something positive? Let’s find out. On today’s show, I’m going to talk about the dreaded DNF. I speak on personal experience on this one, because I’ve been there myself. I’ll go over: when it’s a really good idea to stop a race,  when you should probably push on try to finish, and  how to get over a DNF and get back to better racing in the future.   When you are in the middle of a stressful race, you’re not going to be thinking as clearly as you are now. So it’s a whole lot better to start running through the scenarios ahead of time to ensure that you make the right choice when you have to. 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.

I can’t wait for the next episode!” MarieAD38  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Authentic and Powerful “Coach Claire is one of the most genuine, authentic and relatable voices out there - especially when it comes to helping you move forward and reach your goals. When I met her almost 4 years ago I never could have imagined what I’d be capable of today. My life has changed dramatically for the better - both physically and mentally. She started where most of us do - from zero - with a goal of getting in better shape for a class reunion. Working consistently, day by day, she not only got in shape but went on to reach many impressive milestones, ultimately turning her passion into a full time career. However, the one burning desire I’ve heard her repeat over and over since I’ve know her is, “I just want help others”. Well, now she’s now turned all of that determination and energy that’s gotten her this far into doing what she truly loves - helping others reach their goals. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Claire off the air and I can tell you she’s the real deal. Every day is not easy but she plows ahead and remains a nice person while doing it. This is a great quality. Bottom line: she is constantly pushing herself and others to be better both “in and out of the running shoes”! Im really happy to see her reach this milestone and can’t wait to see what the future holds!! For those that listen, this will be of great benefit!” Sup bois99 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great running podcast “Great show, overall information that provided some great new techniques and some solid reminders.” croy21 Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat

    The Ultimate Race Day Guided Visualization for Runners (encore run)

    Use the power of your mind to get the results you want on race day. This episode is a little different than usual. I will guide you through a race visualization just for runners. For best results, lie down in a quiet place, use headphones, and have an open mind.  You’ll experience a detailed picture of race day from the time you awake to the finish line including: Everything you’ll need to go through to have the race of your dreams, What you’ll do when things go wrong, and you’ll imagine All the sights and sounds you’ll encounter for a complete sensory effect With practice, your brain will feel like you’ve already experienced a successful race. If nothing else, you will finish the practice more relaxed and calm. And if all goes well, you will reach the starting line of your race calm yet excited to do your very best.  In my own running, I used visualization before every race. It was one of the many tools that I relied on to run my 2:58 marathon at age 42 and I recommend it to all the athletes I coach.

Love The Planted Runner’s episodes, the variety of topics and short length! As a mostly plant based runner, Clare’s tips are always great! Highly recommend for any type of runner! Dreamer517  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Mental Strength! I found The Planted Runner blog and podcast when I was in the midst of training for my first half marathon this past spring. Coach Claire’s information on a variety of running topics have really helped as a beginner; I especially love the mental strength minute segment! I never thought that running would be a part of my life, but I started a running habit in order to combat postpartum depression. I’m so thankful to have this podcast as a resource so that I can continue to train in an intelligent way, with a lower chance of injury. In the fall, I am planning to run my second half marathon. I am so excited to start my Half Marathon training plan from The Planted Runner in a few weeks. 😁 klynnsingh  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Run, Grammy, Run I am so grateful that I found this podcast that provides so many tips and informed support for me as a 62 year old vegan runner who is pursuing a goal to qualify for the Boston Marathon. From the interviews with Des Linden or the another mother runner or the team providing injury/ recovery tips, I as a 62 year old marathoner find many helpful gems. Thank you! I hope to join your PR Team soon. PearceCat Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
