    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.

    PRTL: Post Marathon Speed Plan to BQ in 2 Years Jul 30, 2026
    Show notes

    Welcome to the PR Training Lab! Go behind the scenes with me as I create a custom training plan for one lucky runner.

    In this episode, we feature Lindsay:

    🏃🏽‍♀️27 years old

    🏃🏿wants to build on marathon fitness

    🏃🏼‍♀️goal is to BQ in two years

    Learn how I create a custom post marathon speed training plan for Lindsay.

    Follow along with the questions I ask each runner:

    1. What is your goal?

    2. How long have you been running regularly?

    3. Do you have any current or recurring injuries?

    4. What are your RECENT (past 6-12 months) race times and distances? If you have not raced recently, but have in the past, please estimate your race fitness. If you have never raced, or not in a very long time, please estimate how fast you could run 1 mile (1.6km) as fast as possible.

    5. How many miles or kilometers per week do you typically run (do not include race weeks or taper weeks)?

    6. What is the highest amount of weekly mileage you've ever run and how long ago was that?

    7. How long is your average/most recent long run?

    8. What pace would you say is a very easy effort, relaxed pace for an average run? This is a pace so slow that you could talk the entire time almost as easily as walking.

    9. When do you want to run and rest?

    10. What are your favorite and least favorite kinds of running workouts?

    11. Do you strength train and/or cross train?

    12. What do you struggle with?

    How To Actually Chase Big Goals as a Mother Runner Jul 23, 2026
    Show notes

    There definitely can be too much of a good thing when it comes to running and before you know it, your healthy obsession has turned into another injury.

    But is there really such a thing as balance when you are chasing big goals?

    Let’s find out with Whitney Heins of The Mother Runners at https://www.themotherrunners.com/

    We go over:

    • The good and bad side of always striving for more

    • How ignoring her body and pushing too hard backfired, and

    • How doing less is actually working better and making her happier

    It’s always a great conversation with Whitney because we have so much in common and while she’s much faster than most moms, including me, she’s so relatable.

It has been tough having this lifestyle, especially where I am from where the resources are very meager. Thank you so much and I always look forward to weekly episodes.

    The Real Challenge Isn't the Heat, It's This Jul 16, 2026
    Show notes

    We all expect the heat to make us uncomfortable. We expect to sweat more and slow down. What catches runners off guard is how quickly a few slower splits can make them question months of good training.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why summer changes the way you should read your watch.

    • How to adjust your training without second-guessing your fitness.

    • What runners should pay attention to when the weather refuses to cooperate.

    If you’re getting far too stressed about summer running and need an actionable way to change your perspective, I’ve made something just for you.


    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 running gets hard. Get access to it for free right now theplantedrunner.com/reset

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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.

    Los Angeleno 69

    ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐Informative and fun

    I really enjoy listening to this podcast. It’s interesting and informative. I’m a new runner and follow a predominantly plant-based diet so it’s a perfect fit.

    Piculina

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love listening

    New listener, long time follower on Instagram. I listened to the PR Training lab for a half marathon. It’s very easy to listen to and such helpful information for experienced runners to new runners.

    Show notes

    If you’re a marathoner training for a fall race and you’re running goal marathon paced workouts in July, you’re doing it wrong.

    Let’s explore a better way.

    In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about race-specific workouts from the 5k to the marathon. We’ll go over:

    • Why the timing of race-specific workouts matters

    • Why and how to plan workouts that focus on overall fitness instead, and

    • When to narrow your focus so you peak exactly on race day

    I’ll also give you some examples of my favorite race-specific workouts for each distance.

    This is a topic that will probably bust a lot of common myths out there. Whether you are brand-new to racing or you’re a veteran runner looking for ways to sharpen up your fitness at exactly the right time, this is the episode for you and your running buddies. So share it with them..

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Podcast Par Excellence

    Coach Claire is a joy to listen to if you are a dedicated runner. Her science backed knowledge, plant based expertise, and proven mindset tips are a game changer when running down your goals. I love her personal style and sincerity. Claire is an exceptional interviewer.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The best podcast for running and also the best podcast for plant…

    I really look forward to this podcast every week! It was one of the first podcasts I found when I started running and was looking for advice and it’s still my favorite one. Claire gives concise, helpful advice for all levels of running and also great nutrition tips.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐So positive and helpful! 😍

    Love this podcast and all the topics! Been listening for probably 2 years now and Claire is an amazing host. I appreciate how she keeps episodes concise with the occasional longer episode with a guest. As a vegan, I totally dig the plant-based info, but that is not the basis of most episodes–running is. All the episodes I’ve listened to are encouraging and so positive.

    Are Free AI Running Coaching Plans Actually Good or Evil? Matt Chittim Jul 02, 2026
    Show notes

    In 2026, no one needs to hire a running coach to write a training plan.

    So the deeper question is, how does the work of a human running coach go beyond what a large language model can iterate? What is the intrinsic human value of what I do to help runners around the world?

    I’m going to be exploring that a lot in my work coming up and to help me out today, I’m talking to another running coach and voice you might recognize, Matt Chittim of the Rambling Runner Podcast.

    And the conversation gets interesting.

    Today, Matt and I go into a lot of running topics like:

    • How AI is changing the profession

    • How masters runners can change their relationship with running, and

    • What Matt is doing now with knee surgery coming up.

    I was recently a guest on The Rambling Runner so if you haven’t checked out that conversation, please do that right after this one.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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!

    Marathon Era Over? Here's The Big Thing No One Tells You May 28, 2026
    Show notes

    What happens when you decide that you are no longer in your marathon era?

    Fear of losing fitness and identity keeps some runners racing long after they’ve lost the joy.

    How do you stop training like a marathon runner without feeling like you are losing part of yourself?

    Let’s find out.

    On today’s show, we’re going to talk about the complicated relationship between identity and marathon training. You’ll learn:

    • why so many runners struggle to let go of race goals,

    • why changing your training focus in midlife may actually improve your long-term health,

    • and how to create a new relationship with fitness that still feels purposeful and rewarding.

    If you’d like help building a training schedule that fits your current season of life instead of forcing yourself into a traditional marathon cycle, head to www.theplantedrunner.com/plans to learn more and look for the Athletic Running Plan option.

    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.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Fantastic!

    Claire is knowledgeable and entertaining. As a fellow plant based eater and somewhat new runner, I was searching for someone who could guide me on my running journey. I hit the jackpot with this podcast. I also followed Claire’s training plan last year to guide me to my first half marathon and I finished strong with her advice!
