RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love the planted runner Claire gives great advice on how to make the most out of each run. I look forward to listening to each episode and love the advice on nutrition as well. Claire, one suggestion. Can we hear more interviews from slower runners? (Not those that say I’m slow but still run 8 min miles. I’m talking back of the pack 11-15 min pace.) Mel@Mal  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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 via Apple Podcasts ·United States of America ·07/06/2023 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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

Starving After Runs? How to Actually Eat Like a Runner

Are you a runner that eats half a banana before the run and half the fridge after? This pattern is most certainly affecting your running performance and can lead to unwanted weight gain. So how can you fuel properly and break this cycle? On today’s episode, we’re going to break down one of the most common and misunderstood fueling patterns I see in endurance runners and how to actually nourish your body for performance and for life. You’ll learn * *  why this happens in the first place, * *  how underfueling is quietly sabotaging your performance and recovery, and * how to fuel all day long so your runs and your life are just better.

RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great podcast for experienced and new runners alike! I found this podcast about 5 years ago and have been a devoted listener ever since.  Great interviews with famous and ordinary runners along with running advice and discussions that will motivate you to get out there and be the best runner you can be. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Running tips and inspiration at its best I’ve followed for a while and pop in and out when I see a topic I’m especially in need of help or need to revisit some expert tips from Claire.  Super helpful information.  Claire is so knowledgeable and presents everything in such a user friendly way, whether you are a newbie runner or looking for some updated perspective on the world of running! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Very informative! I love this podcast!  I started listening when I was new to running (been eating a plant based diet for much longer than I’ve been running) and I always find it very interesting!  Coach Claire has a very good voice and precise way of speaking and conveying information!  I just wish the episodes were longer so they didn’t stop halfway through my runs!

How To Prep For Sydney and Chicago in Steamy Singapore

Today,we’re doing something a little different. You’ll be listening in on a coaching call I’m having with one of my athletes. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like, here you go! I’m talking to PR Teammate Danny and I’m just going to include the intro he wrote for himself, because it’s awesome. Danny spent his first four decades avoiding cardio (or any sport for that matter), before hitting a mid-life crisis. After dropping 20 kg, a friend promptly scammed him into running a full marathon as his first-ever race. Plot twist: the friend Did Not Start (DNS) due to injury, leaving him to suffer the 42.2 Km alone. He's been addicted ever since. Now, he's obsessed with the mental grit of the sport and can be found @zidaniey when not busy drenching his kit in Singapore's humidity while battling his shoe-shopping addiction.  Danny is training for both Sydney and Chicago this fall and wants to be sure he's scheduled his tune-up races just right. We have runners from all over the world on the team and this was such a fun conversation I know you’ll enjoy. And of course, if you want to get in on the fun, what are you waiting for?  Learn more about the PR Team and sign up today at www.theplantedrunner.com/group [http://www.theplantedrunner.com/group].  Welcome to the Planted Runner.

Revealing The Marathon Myths That Never Actually Happened

Marathon history is full of drama, heroes and quite a few myths that you are probably perpetuating yourself at your local run club. Today, I’m going to talk with author, coach, and historian Martin Dugard. Martin is the author of a dozen #1 New York Times bestsellers, he’s a Board Member of the USA Track and Field Foundation, and blogs weekly as The Paper Kenyan on martindugard.com [http://martindugard.com]. His new book, The Long Run, dives into the rich history of the marathon and debunks some of the most pervasive myths in the sport. We discuss: * The origin story of the marathon and what really happened * How the jogging craze led to the marathon boom, and * The impact of some of the biggest stars of the sport who still influence runners today. And Martin is kind enough to do a book giveaway to listeners of The Planted Runner who live in the US.  If you’d like to win a copy of the book, first write an Apple Podcast review of the show and then email me your US shipping address to claire@theplantedrunner.com.  We’ll pick a random winner by the end of April 2026.
