**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.

Why Chasing 'Race Weight' Could Be Slowing You Down Jul 25, 2024

Show notes

A lot of people use running to lose weight.

And some people lose weight to get faster at running.

This is the concept of “race weight.” And while it can work temporarily, it can be very, very damaging.

But yet, it’s still tempting runners every day.

On today’s show, I’ll explore the nuanced and controversial subject of race weight and losing weight in general with running. We’ll explore:

The science of race weight
How losing weight while training can backfire on physical and mental health as well as performance, and
I’ll share my story and what really matters more than getting ultra lean.

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. Fortify your mind in 60 seconds or less.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love this podcast!!

I’m training for my first marathon and I’m plant based, this podcast has been so helpful and inspiring!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is why we run

I’m not sure what or why it is, but after many years of running and 100s of (other) podcasts listened to, The Planted Runner appeared in my life and it’s like I’m “born again” with Claire’s insights, manner and vibes. Her most informative shows have a freshness, and a connection, to my running/ training experiences that quite simply I’m not finding elsewhere. I highly recommend giving The Planted Runner a listen.

Lifting Lies: The Real Truth about Strength Training for Runners Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

“Lift heavy” is common, but often bad advice for runners. Runners actually want to do runner-specific strength work.

Except…”runner-specific” strength training doesn’t really exist.

Confused yet? Let’s sort this out.

On today’s show, we’ll untangle confusion around strength training for runners with the help of strength and running coach and physical therapist, Victoria Sekely.

You’ll learn:

Exactly what lifting heavy means for runners, and if you should even try it
How your strength training should change over the year, depending on your goals, and
How to time your workouts so they support your running, instead of hurting it.

Victoria is the owner of Train Smart Run Strong, a New Jersey-based doctor of physical therapy and running coach. She trains runners all over the world with her strength training programs, with the goal of keeping them strong, healthy, and training well.

This is the second time Victoria has been on the show and I’m delighted to have her back.

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.

ENCORE RUN: The Best Way to Train Your Pelvic Muscles for Worry-Free Running Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

One in four American women suffer from some kind of pelvic floor disorder, according to the National Institutes of Health. That's 25% of us! And yes, that number goes up as we get older.

And running can trigger accidents and make it worse.

And this is not just a female phenomenon. Men have a pelvic floor too and can also have issues. Most guys certainly aren’t talking about it!

Some people are so ashamed, embarrassed, and downright fearful of leaking that they choose to quit running all together.

I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way. I’ve brought on pelvic floor specialist and international coach, Baz Moffat. You’ll learn:

Why pelvic floor issues happen and increase as we age and especially when we run,
What the signs are of a more serious problem and, most importantly,
The surprising ways to strengthen the muscles to prevent leaks and incontinence in the first place (and it’s not kegels!)

Baz is a former member of the rowing team for Great Britain and she is a prominent voice in the women’s health movement. She is a co-founder of the Well HQ whose mission is to challenge the status quo for women in health, fitness and sport.

This is a powerful conversation for anyone who has a pelvis and unless you are like Baz and study this for a living, I promise you will learn something brand new that you can apply today.

The other thing I want to say is that this topic doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom! Baz has several great tips on making pelvic health more normalized and dare I say it, even fun.

Be sure to stay tuned all the way to the end of the episode for the Mental Strength Minute to fortify your mind in 60 seconds or less.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Compact power-packed episodes

“Dear Claire, I came upon this podcast via your interview with Marathon Training Academy. Loved that interview, and followed you here. The episodes on here are packed with valuable information and I can’t emphasise enough how useful those last minute mental strength tips are! I am a vegetarian myself and completely relate to your nutrition advise. Coincidentally I am on Orgain powder too! I struggle with strength training in the sense that I easily tune out of it but now making a point of being more persistent with it. All because I am chasing my first ever marathon at this year’s Dallas Marathon Festival in December. Your content is broad, detailed and appeals to nearly every type of amateur runner! I wish you the best! Nagendra”

ENCORE RUN: Why Des Linden Is Still Proving Everyone Wrong in Her 40s Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

Des Linden is not your typical marathon champion.

Instead of emulating others, Des blazes her own path. Some might say that she even prides herself on not doing things like everyone else. And when someone tells her she can’t, she figures out a way to prove she can.

Des is a two time Olympian and became the first American woman in 33 years to win the Boston Marathon on a brutally cold and rainy Patriot’s Day in 2018. At age 39, she is still competing professionally and will be toeing the line at Boston again this year.

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.

Today I’m sharing my conversation with Olympian Des Linden. You’ll learn:

Some of the stories behind her historic win in Boston
How her training has changed as she has gotten older, and
Why she keeps showing up in the sport when some would say her best years are behind her.

Des has written a memoir of her life and incredible career called “Choosing to Run.” In it she shares the behind-the-scenes of her amazing accomplishments, some of which she’s never told before.

We also talk about why she’s always felt like a little bit of an outsider in the professional running scene and why she wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Best Treadmill Tips You Need To Train Like A Pop Star Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

Taylor Swift famously trained on a treadmill for her Eras tour.

Sure, but we are not training to be pop stars. We’re runners, and there are a lot of questions about how good of a tool it really is.

So let’s explore.

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.

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.
