The first session is Thursday, December 7, 2023 at 12pm ET and it’s all about how to plan your training and racing schedule for next year so you are training smart and peaking at the perfect time for your goals. We’ll go over how to schedule your tune up races, what to do in the off-season, and how to tell if your goals are realistic in the first place.

Can you really have it all?
On today’s episode, I’d like to address the challenges that go along with training to be as good as you can be while also having a demanding job, a spouse, a family, and just about all the other responsibilities we have as adults.
We’ll explore:

how to know if it’s even worth prioritizing your training with a demanding life, 

how to work with your partner so both your needs are met,

and how to fit in your training after you have kids.


Now, I know that many of you listening are beyond the stage of kids at home. But that doesn’t mean that you don’t have a busy life. Much of what I’m going to cover today will still apply.

So clear, informative, positive, well produced, and just overall a great listen. Fully recommended.

⭐⭐⭐⭐Great info for runners of all abilities!
I started listening to The Planted Runner in October and I just can’t get enough. You will find simple, straightforward advice as well as interesting interviews with a variety of athletes. The focus is not on a plant based diet. The focus is being the best version of yourself!!
LisaU9

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Perfect running accompaniment
I found this podcast when the host was interviewed on a different podcast and love the content! I listen on my runs and get inspiration for all kinds of running related material. Very happy that I stumbled upon it and can’t wait to read the book

We all know that running is good for our mental health. But it’s also good for our spiritual health as well.
Can you transform your running into something even more meaningful, even if you’re not religious?
On today’s show, we’re going to have a conversation with runner and Anglican priest, Martha Tartarnic.
We’ll cover:

How running can transform from a punishment to a source of deep meaning

How reflection while running can make you better at your job and a better parent, and

How you can use spiritual concepts to quiet negative thoughts and keep your head calm when running hard.


This conversation is a little different and more reflective than most of the topics that I cover on this show, and if you like it, let me know with an email to claire@theplantedrunner.com.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Informative and fun!
“Whenever a new episode of The Planted Runner podcast is released, I feel a surge of excitement! The show's host and interviewer, Claire, is excellent, and she consistently brings on fascinating guests to discuss topics that are pertinent to me and my running journey.”
K-town825

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The Best Running Podcast on the Planet
“If you are a runner and especially a plant-based athlete, the planted runner offers information that is science-based, practical and inspirational. Topics run the gamut from running form to endurance to injury prevention to plant-based nutrition made simple. Claire is a tremendously talented interviewer, likely because she is so very experienced herself. The guests are knowledgeable and clearly dedicated to passing their insights onto others. The podcast is a welcome companion on training runs as often as new podcasts are available. I also find myself returning to certain ones to glean every bit of information out of it I can. Thanks, Claire.”
Scott R. from Normal, Il

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great advice and easy to listen to
“I was searching for a new running podcast and gave The Planted Runner a try. Wasn’t sure if it would be for vegan runners or exactly how it might connect with me. I loved it! Coach Claire Bartholic’s voice and background music are very easy to listen to. I especially liked her thoughts about result based goals vs process goals. Definitely adding this to my weekly playlist! Highly recommended.”

Heart rate variability (HRV) can be an insight into how well you are training and recovering.
This is because the changes in length of space between heartbeats is a harbinger of changes in your physical and mental health.
And it is clear that this metric will inform the training of the future.
I’ll show you how you can use it today.
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.
On today’s show, we are going to explore how you measure and use heart rate variability to get the most out of your training and recovery.
You’ll learn:

What HRV is measuring and why

How and when to accurately track your HRV, and

How to interpret the data, because it’s not as simple as some might think


I’ll also share my personal opinions on whether you should even bother tracking yet another metric at all, and here’s a quick spoiler–it’s not for everyone.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Practical and interesting podcast
I recently found the podcast and binge on all the episodes. All the episodes are interesting with approachable advise. As a plant based runner I’m thrilled by the advise on plant based nutrition tailored for runners. I found that most running coach include animal products. So I’m so happy I found the Planted Runner.
