The Planted Runner

Did you know that your running goals can be the exact thing holding you back from achieving them?

On today's show, we'll explore the practice of effective goal setting. We'll go over:

How goal setting is necessary yet not enough

How a results-oriented focus can keep you from getting the results you want, and

Better ways to set running goals that you can actually achieve.

If you've just run a big race this season and you're taking some downtime to reassess where your running is going right now, this is the perfect time to reflect and plan a new running cycle where you're in control of your success each and every day.

Traveling is a lot harder when you’re plant-based. No one actually likes airplane food, but the plant based options are genuinely awful.

We plant people have pretty much gotten used to planning ahead when we travel and I’d love to share how I do it.

Even if you are not plant-based, you are a runner, and if you are traveling to a race or just want to make sure you’ve got filling, healthy options, you’re going to want to plan ahead.

Today, we're talking travel, and not just race travel. Any trip where you're away from your own kitchen. You'll learn:

What's in my carry-on bag

How to be prepared without feeling like the high-maintenance friend, and

How to make plant-based travel actually enjoyable instead of a constant compromise

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great, to the point, podcast

Thanks for all the great information! I just listened to the pod on speedwork and loved the info! Would have liked more discussion about the purpose/importance of the recovery portion of interval speedwork. So much conflicting info out there. Would love to hear more!

Marathon runners are nearly six times more likely to come down with a cold or upper respiratory infection than runners who trained just as hard but didn't race.

So why does this happen and what can you do about it? And even if you don’t get sick, what’s the right way to recover from a race?

Today, we're talking about what happens after the marathon, because the training plans stop at the finish line, but your body's job is just getting started. You'll learn:

What to do before and after your race to avoid getting sick

How to structure your return to running so you come back stronger

And how recovering right will set you up for an even better cycle to come

And I’ll give you a little hint, part of avoiding getting sick is how you deal with stress and pre-race anxiety. I've made something that can help. It's called the Readiness Reset, and you can get it for free right now. It's a 7-minute audio that combines guided visualization with cognitive conditioning, designed to train the exact response you need when things get hard. www.theplantedrunner.com/reset

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Gem podcast!

I recommend listening to Coach Claire; interesting and very useful insights, she is well experienced, easy to follow and understand. I enjoyed listening to her creating a running fitness schedule to one of her listeners (Jeremy) while live podcasting. You are in good hands Jeremy! Welcome back to running!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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!

Matt Fitzgerald is too sick to run. So, naturally, he trained for an ultra marathon.

Matt Fitzgerald, runner, coach, author, and friend of the podcast, has been suffering from devastating symptoms of long COVID.

Running makes everything worse.

He waited years to get healthy enough to run again and when that didn’t happen, he ran in spite of it.

His new book, Dying to Run, tells of his wildly unrealistic mission to train for a 100k race, even if it killed him.

We talk about:

How long COVID took away one of the most important things in his life,

How he coped with the dramatic change in his life and identity, and

Why he was determined to get closure on racing, despite the risks..

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Cheers!! 🏃‍♀️

As someone who just began their running journey last year this podcast has been integral to building my confidence and success as a runner. I love how the podcast is structured, the length is perfect and never feels too repetitive, there’s always something helpful to discuss! The nutrition tips and strength training have been extremely helpful. I can’t believe it’s already been a year, I’ve listened to every single episode and look forward to what’s to come in the future!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Menopause…

Thank you for saying the silent part out loud! As a fellow female runner of a proud 54 1/2 (throwback to childhood) it’s so helpful to listen to women talk out loud about menopause, the affects, no matter the level of severity, and tips on how to fight back! I love my aging body and what it’s still capable of doing, rather than focusing on what it can no longer do. Love your podcast! Keep fighting! 🙂

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great information!

These podcasts are very helpful! As a long time runner, I’m always interested in new information on training, recovery, and nutrition to improve my running. Can’t wait until the next episode!

Most people think the sixth sense is about seeing dead people. But it’s actually balance which is critical to health, injury prevention, and longevity.

How’s your balance? Do you actively work on it? And what does balance have to do with running and performance?

Let’s find out.

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.

In this episode, we’re going to explore your real 6th sense, balance. You’ll learn:

How balance training can prevent injury

How it can improve performance, and

Exactly what exercises you can do to improve your balance today.

This is one of the most underrated training practices that runners can do that is also super simple and effective. If you know a runner that is missing out on balance training, now is a good time to go ahead and share this episode with them.

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐More Masters Topics

Have only listened to one podcast, the recent one on Master Runners. It was excellent and I would strongly recommend many more episodes on just that subject. We runners from the Jimm Fixx era are still at it and are interested in topics that will help us run forever!

DeBK265

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Amazing Content!

Found running 5 years ago at age 64. Claire’s podcast is a big part of why I am still at it and improving. I particularly love the PR Training labs which help me build race plans. So many running podcasts are filled with non-pertinent chatter. Claire is succinct and provided tons of helpful content. When she interviews guests, she asks excellent questions and chisels home the “meat” (all while being plant-based!! 😜). Claire is a delight to listen to.

S. Feralio

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Coach Claire is very helpful!

I’ve listened to this podcast for a while now and really enjoy the content. Episodes are typically concise and on a specific topic that tends to be helpful for the average runner looking to improve. Give it a try!
