The Planted Runner

What’s the right way to balance your training when you are traveling, especially if you have a family?

Let’s find out.

Today we’re going to tackle the topic of training on trips, specifically vacations with your loved ones.  We’ll get into:


how to plan your vacation for the ideal time in your training cycle


how to stay fit and healthy while still having fun, and if you do decide to skip training altogether,


how much fitness, if any, you’ll lose while lounging in the sun. 

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.

And if you’re gearing up for a big race this fall, now is the time to get your plan in place.  To make things easier, I’ve just built a super cool training strategy quiz that will help you figure out exactly which training solution is perfect for you.  I’ll tell you more about it a little later in the show, but if you’re ready to check it out now, head to www.theplantedrunner.com/start.

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.

Cape Town, South Africa has officially been named as the eighth star Abbott World Marathon Majors series starting in 2027.

It joins Tokyo, Boston, Berlin, London, Chicago, New York, and Sydney as bucket-list marathons around the world.

You’ll learn:


What the race was like


How the experience of the Age Group Championships went, and


How his training is about to change this year

If you’re a runner that’s worried that your age is catching up with you, Terry’s about to give you a little inspiration.

how you can use the track to improve your running, and

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 Samantha:

🏃🏽‍♀️42 years old

🏃🏿wants to get faster and stronger without racing

🏃🏼‍♀️wants a hybrid training plan

Learn how I create a custom athletic training plan for Samantha.

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?

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.

Lydia Averette

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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!

Runner Steph 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Really love this podcast!

Claire is so knowledgeable and her podcast has such a great balance - it’s to the point, easy to understand and always so informative. I love listening to it while I run :)
