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!

I appreciate your approach to training and especially your consideration for older runners. I am 67 years old and plan on running my first marathon in December of 2025 then being 68 years old. Have been running shorter races for 5 years now a with getting older thought I would go for gold one time. I have already gained so many helpful training tips and hope to possibly work with you on some coaching later in the year.

I’m a long time listener, but I and really appreciating the 3 month marathon series. With a spring marathon on my calendar it’s helping know I’m on track to be successful! Thank you Claire!

Hey everyone, if you’re like me, you’ve run a few marathons in your life and enjoy strength training workouts. You also may have overdone it in training over the years and have learned to take things a bit slower and follow the guidance of those who have successfully done what you want to do, even if that’s just continuing to run without injuries. I came across Coach Claire on Instagram one day and enjoyed her posts. I’ve been vegan 13 years now and have struggled with being on the heavier side but enjoy food, cooking/baking, and fitness! As long as I feel good and can stay active, im a happy camper. I initially took up running to support a friends goals then made the mistake of falling in love with it and ended up creating my own goals!! After a few injuries from various overuse activities, I decided to give it another shot after learning that running is a part of what I want in my future. I knew I needed to find someone to guide me along and teach me how run properly and injury free. Coach Claire took the time and care to create my running plan and offers support OFTEN when life happens. Her podcasts hit me every time I listen in the best way because I can relate, to the majority of them, and even if I can’t, I connect with the topic and learn something I didn’t know or could tweak in my own life. It’s one thing to create goals and feel invincible, but it’s another to have a guide to keep you on track and share common ground like veganism and running! Her podcast is worth the time and a fun listen while working out. Enjoy!

I appreciate Coach Claire’s positive insights on training!

Claire has amazing guests and I learn so much valuable information from her

This podcast, in addition to featuring scientific and engaging content, has another important quality: it combines the coach’s personal experiences and insights with the topics and presents them in the simplest way possible. This unique aspect makes the podcast incredibly valuable and enjoyable to listen to.

It is a gift 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!

Fantastic info and backed by evidence too! It provides me good reminders as a seasoned runner.

As a seasoned marathoner but new plant-based runner, Coach Claire is a valuable resource. Solid content for runners across the spectrum, I especially appreciate her confidence in middle age running ladies like myself who are trying to keep up the hobby they love most. She has helped me maintain my competitive nature while being realistic about my stage of life. Thank you for fantastic content!

One of my favorite running podcasts! Each episode is filled with useful information and Clair teaches in clear and concise ways. She also has great guests on the show.

I’ve been listening to several different running podcasts, but this is the most accessible information in a very straightforward and easy to understand format. I especially love how you wrap with the mental strength minute. Highly recommend!

Loved listening to this episode it had a lot Of great info!!!

I have been listening for a while and have used tips from episodes. As someone who has issues with certain foods, I appreciate all fueling information. Especially since I am scheduled to run my second marathon soon. Keep up the great work!

Stumbled across this podcast the other day and finding it very useful. Each episode is short and to the point with actionable information for the listener. You won’t find case studies and long episodes with this one, there are time and place for those as well. But sometimes you just want an episode you can get through in one quick setting.

I just came across the podcast and listened to the most recent one about fueling as a plant-based runner. It was a great overview! I’d love to hear more about fueling as a plant-based runner and during strength training, as a perimenopausal woman. Thanks for a great show!

I’ve been running for many years. I still learn useful information from Claire in most episodes of this podcast. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to run better.

I just started listening to The Planted Runner podcast after following along on Instagram for some time. I’m really glad I decided to tune into the podcast. The episodes are informative, interesting, well structured and thoughtful. Claire is an engaging and never talks down to any ability runner. I’ve already used some of the info I’ve gained from the podcast in my running routine. Thank you for a great listen, Claire!

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

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.

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.

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.

The latest episode had 3:40 of ads at the begging, then more in the middle of the podcast. When this first started the host mentioned that there were no intentions on having ads, which was not true.

I love Claire’s approach to running information and knowledge - it’s straightforward and what we need to know. Great listen. And loving the PRTLs and listening to your thought process. 🤗

I like that this podcast gives actual information and advice to recreational runners who want to find their best performance. Claire is easy to listen to and paces the podcast well. I bet she paces her runs well too!

Recently started listening to Claire and thoroughly enjoy the wisdom she shares from years of experience. As a new but older runner she provides not just inspiration but scientific proof that progress is possible. It’s a great listen!

Out of the few running podcasts I enjoy, this is definitely my first go-to as new ones come out! I’m a vegetarian and definitely still new to the whole running thing, so this show has been super interesting and helpful along the way! Thank you for doing it!

I always enjoy listening to the show—I love the realistic and well-balanced attitude towards running and overall lifestyle. Lots of great information and it’s a fun listen!

I’ve been enjoying the PR labs episodes and understanding the thought process that goes into building a race plan

After a health scare eight years ago, I went plant-based. It changed my life and my health. A year and a half ago, at the now ‘masters’ age of 59, I was out taking a brisk walk as part of my daily exercise and I realized I suddenly wanted to run again. Run like I did when I was a child. It had been so long since I had just taken off and been spontaneous with my physical activity. So I decided then in there ‘I wanna run again.’ I could barely go half a mile without stopping and I had no idea what I was doing. I downloaded a couple of things and finally set a goal; I wanted to run a 5K. Three months later, I finished my 5K and I was hooked on running. I wanted to improve so I went and started looking for podcasts and books. That’s when I found ‘The Planted Runner.’ It spoke to my lifestyle, the way I see the world and gave me instructions that I could follow implement in my day-to-day life. It inspired me at a time of of life when it’s hard to sometimes become inspired. I just recently finished my first 10k at the age of 60 and now I’m training to see if I could possibly do a half marathon. Your podcast in addition to the techniques, recipes, and science-based motivation, has been a game changer. Thank you!

Love listening to the podcast while running! There is a lot of great information!

Super informative and educational. Really enjoy the content.

I have really enjoyed listening to Claire’s topics, tips, and her personal running stories. I was lucky enough to be chosen for a PR lab training plan and I am so excited to put this into place in August as I train for a marathon. thank you for the great information and sharing your time and talent with us!

In bite-sized chunks, Coach Claire provides great insight & tips on a variety of topics pertaining to running!

Really enjoyed the latest bonus episode on the PR training lab! Learned a lot about my running journey and what to look for in a good but realistic training plan for a marathon! She explains everything so well and keeps me engaged in most running/nutrition topics! Thank you!

I like how Coach Claire picks topics that can be relevant to all runners! The information is easy to digest and not overwhelming. Plus the episode lengths are perfect to listen to on a run.

I absolutely love the topics Coach Claire chooses and the fact that the podcasts aren’t super long. She gives you the facts in an easy to digest manner (no pun intended). I’m hooked!

Coach Clare is the real deal. She gives advice and insight to improve your running. Her podcast covers a variety of topics; fueling, pacing and other interesting running topics. If you want to become a better runner then listen to her podcast at the very least. Better yet, checkout her personalized training plans.

Thank you for your amazing tips on training, fueling and all things running.

Claire brings science and reality together in this engaging podcast. I listen every week. Between the knowledgeable guest appearances and Claire’s extensive knowledge of running, you are always sure to learn something. I especially appreciate her focus on the often neglected mental side of running.

This podcast has totally changed the way I view running as a whole. The tips and tricks that were discussed in the Boston Marathon Training Mistakes episode was eye opening for me as I was training for Boston. It was super helpful to know what I should change and what I should expect. Thank you for always providing the discussions we all want and need!

Loved it! I’ll be training for the Chicago Marathon so that means training through the summer. Right now I live in Oregon so not a bad place to train. We will be moving soon for a new job most likely to the midweat so the weather will definitely be a factor. I love all the tips for heat training and what to watch for for heat exhaustion and heat stroke. I’m 59 and this will be my second Marathon. I’m hoping to improve my time from 4:16. I run 4 days a week and bike 1 day. Thanks for all the helpful advice!

I got into running late; coming up on 7 years ago at the age of 41. I have been steadily making progress. My speeds have gradually increased, and I have just run my 6th marathon. NOTHING has helped me more with my progress than Coach Claire’s tips. I have been using her tips one by one, with each marathon. I went from a 4:52 marathon at the age of 45 in June 2021, to a 4:15 marathon at the age of 48 in May 2024. Hoping to break 4:00 this year in October for my 49th birthday. I just bought her book and I love it. I love this podcast. I can’t imagine the possibilities if I had her as an actual coach. Thanks Coach Claire!

I love the content of this podcast. However, I don’t love the music in the background.

Coach Claire’s podcast is fantastic! I enjoy her insight, tips, ideas and of course the mental strength minute on each show. I have recently started using her YouTube videos recently for my workouts also. PRs here I come!?

Just stumbled on the podcast. Was a runner for a few years and have taken time off to raise kids (single parent of 3 young kids) and to transition to a plant based lifestyle. Looking to get back into the swing of things and a few episodes on YouTube and now here has me excited to get back.

I found this podcast a little bit ago and love it. She does a great job and very informative keep up the good work. Every episode is filled with great content thank you!

I really enjoyed the episode about the spirituality of running. What an unexpected topic! As a new runner I felt relieved to experienced runners say the first mile is always the hardest.

This podcast has been an excellent resource for me as a runner. It is packed with educational tips and content all in bite-sized episodes. Love it!

This is one of the best running podcasts to hear! Very informative and inspiring. I look forward to every episode!
