  • Mental Strength Powerhouse

    A unique, highly informative podcast, especially with the Mental Strength Minute that Claire gives at the end of each episode. In fact, Claire’s “The Ultimate Race Day Guided Visualization for Runners” (episode 53 from 8/31/23) has been a game-changer for me. I use it frequently during every marathon cycle. It was a crucial part of the mental strength work that helped me finally BQ!

  • My Go-to podcast

    I’ve been running for the last 10yrs, vegan for 3 and this last year I’ve been dialing in my casual running to actually training. Being able to have The Planted Runner podcast as a resource has been priceless and it’s kept me entertained and inspired on long drives, long runs, and during work.

    Claire clearly has a wealth of knowledge and I really enjoy learning from her and the various guests she has on the show!

    Definitely worth a listen!

  • Finally…

    Thank you coach Claire! As a 40 year old mom of two young kids and a plant based runner your advice hits it right on the nail for me. I’ve struggled with running and injuries for so many years and now starting to learn, run slow to run fast. It’s a concept that is hard to accept but your podcasts keep it a constant reminder for me. Each episode is the perfect amount of time for a busy mom. Thank you for the advice and support to keep on track!
