The Planted Runner

Treadmill miles are often seen as “less than” or not as good as the same run outside.  But is that really true?

Can treadmill running actually be just as good for your training as running outside?

Let’s find out. 

On today’s show, we’re going to get into everything you need to know about treadmill running.  You’ll learn:


If the treadmill is really the same as running outside


If you really need to adjust the incline or play around with your speed to make it more like outdoors,


And why doesn’t the machine ever line up with your running watch?

I’ll also go over how to use the treadmill to get the best workout and I’ll even get into how to make the dreadmill a lot less dreadful.

What if I told you there was a way to simply relax and become a better athlete? Sure, you’d still need to actually train, but you could boost how far and how fast you could run simply by sitting?

It’s heat. Specifically in the form of hot baths, steam rooms, saunas, and hot tubs.

You’ll learn:

How various forms of heat can improve your health and performance

Why heat wins over cold for most injury treatment, and

Which is better for athletes, a hot tub or a sauna?

I’ll also share my personal experience with my hot tub and my new favorite activity, especially in the winter months.

Can you learn to master your mind like an elite athlete?

Let’s find out.

In this episode, you’ll learn:


how to silence the voice that tells you to quit,

how to reframe your running goals so you always cross the finish line with a smile.

Some of these techniques will be immensely helpful to shift your mindset, while others might not be your jam, and that’s okay.  We all have different triggers and issues and my goal is to provide you with as many tools as I can.  Use what works and toss the rest.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Running plans

I found your podcast recently and I’m finding it very helpful! I’m coming back from injury and you are helping me to motivate myself.  My last race was 2 years ago!  Foot surgery has a long recovery time! Thanks for all the great content!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Honest and trustworthy training info

I appreciate your approach to training and especially your consideration for older runners.  I am 67 years old and I and running my first marathon in December 2025 then being 68 years old.  I have already gained so many helpful training tips and hope to possibly work with you on some coaching later in the year.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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!
