  • No one starts a race expecting to quit.
    But if you race often enough, it will likely happen to you.
    Sometimes quitting in the middle of a race is absolutely the right thing to do. Other times, quitting is just quitting and you will be full of regret when you do.
    How can you tell? And more importantly, how can you turn it into something positive?
    Let’s find out.
    On today’s show, I’m going to talk about the dreaded DNF. I speak on personal experience on this one, because I’ve been there myself. I’ll go over:

    when it’s a really good idea to stop a race, 

    when you should probably push on try to finish, and 

    how to get over a DNF and get back to better racing in the future.

     
    When you are in the middle of a stressful race, you’re not going to be thinking as clearly as you are now. So it’s a whole lot better to start running through the scenarios ahead of time to ensure that you make the right choice when you have to.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Authentic and Powerful
    “Coach Claire is one of the most genuine, authentic and relatable voices out there - especially when it comes to helping you move forward and reach your goals. When I met her almost 4 years ago I never could have imagined what I’d be capable of today. My life has changed dramatically for the better - both physically and mentally. She started where most of us do - from zero - with a goal of getting in better shape for a class reunion. Working consistently, day by day, she not only got in shape but went on to reach many impressive milestones, ultimately turning her passion into a full time career. However, the one burning desire I’ve heard her repeat over and over since I’ve know her is, “I just want help others”. Well, now she’s now turned all of that determination and energy that’s gotten her this far into doing what she truly loves - helping others reach their goals. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Claire off the air and I can tell you she’s the real deal. Every day is not easy but she plows ahead and remains a nice person while doing it. This is a great quality. Bottom line: she is constantly pushing herself and others to be better both “in and out of the running shoes”! Im really happy to see her reach this milestone and can’t wait to see what the future holds!! For those that listen, this will be of great benefit!”

  • Running in your 40s, 50s, and beyond is not the same as when you are younger. This is especially true for women going through perimenopause.
    On today’s show I’m joined by writer, runner, and podcast host Cherie Turner. We explore:

    How you can still get faster and live your fittest life no matter what your age

    How perimenopause can affect our lives and our running, and

    The bright sides of embracing your journey with a fresh perspective


    Cherie Louise Turner is the host and producer of Women's Running Stories, a podcast where each week, one woman tells a story from her life as a runner. Not only are these women getting better even as they age, they are also crushing the stereotypes of what people think is possible.
    So if you are a runner who’s getting older, which of course is all of us, stay tuned.

  • Use the power of your mind to get the results you want on race day.
    This episode is a little different than usual. I will guide you through a race visualization just for runners. For best results, lie down in a quiet place, use headphones, and have an open mind. 
    You’ll experience a detailed picture of race day from the time you awake to the finish line including:

    Everything you’ll need to go through to have the race of your dreams,

    What you’ll do when things go wrong, and you’ll imagine

    All the sights and sounds you’ll encounter for a complete sensory effect

    With practice, your brain will feel like you’ve already experienced a successful race. If nothing else, you will finish the practice more relaxed and calm. And if all goes well, you will reach the starting line of your race calm yet excited to do your very best. 
    In my own running, I used visualization before every race. It was one of the many tools that I relied on to run my 2:58 marathon at age 42 and I recommend it to all the athletes I coach.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Mental Strength!
    I found The Planted Runner blog and podcast when I was in the midst of training for my first half marathon this past spring. Coach Claire’s information on a variety of running topics have really helped as a beginner; I especially love the mental strength minute segment! I never thought that running would be a part of my life, but I started a running habit in order to combat postpartum depression. I’m so thankful to have this podcast as a resource so that I can continue to train in an intelligent way, with a lower chance of injury. In the fall, I am planning to run my second half marathon. I am so excited to start my Half Marathon training plan from The Planted Runner in a few weeks. 😁

    I am so grateful that I found this podcast that provides so many tips and informed support for me as a 62 year old vegan runner who is pursuing a goal to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

    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.

  • Your running cadence is the pattern or number of steps you run per minute. Increase your cadence and you’re halfway to running faster. Lengthening your stride is the other half of the equation, but doing that can be problematic.
    It’s far more effective to focus on quickening your feet.
    Let’s explore why.
    On today’s show, I’m going to dive into your running cadence. I’ll go over:

    why focusing on your cadence can be an important tool for gaining speed with lower injury risk,

    some myths about the ideal cadence for runners, and I’ll explain

    a few techniques for improving your cadence to help you get faster quicker

  • In our time-crunched hustle culture, sleep is often the first thing that is sacrificed in our busy lives. Even though, by far, it’s the absolute most important thing we can do for our health and fitness.
    So how do you know if you’re really getting enough?
    Let’s find out.
    On today’s show, I’ll be talking with triathlon and sleep coach, Simon Ward. We’ll go over

    Simple strategies for improving sleep quantity & quality

    How to know if you’re really getting enough, and

    How to set the stage for sleep success, even if you have kids


    Simon is a British triathlon coach and has been for nearly 30 years, but he no longer calls himself that. Instead he’s a life coach for people who run, bike, and swim, because it takes a lot more than good training to be your best.
    And great sleep is one of those things.

  • If you’re only running and expecting to get better at it, you’re missing out. You’ll simply be getting better at working around your weaknesses rather than truly improving.
    And if you’re over 40? You’re going to have to do more than just run to keep your bone density, improve muscle mass, and keep your metabolism humming along. Not to mention improve your performance.
    You might think a little strength training and mobility are the answer. But it’s a lot more nuanced than that.
    On today’s show, I’ll be talking to one of America’s leading running physical therapists, Jay Dicharry. Jay works with Olympians and other world class runners to improve their biomechanics, performance, and helps them build back after injury.
    He’s out with the second edition of his book, Running Rewired in which he takes cutting edge research and creates precision workouts any runner can do at home to supercharge their running form.
    You’ll learn

    What the biomechanics of running form really is

    How that informs how you can improve your unique running form, and

    Why all runners, but especially runners over 40, need to include this type of training in their weekly routine.


    And don’t worry if you don’t have all the time to train like an Olympian. He promises it won’t take much more time than you’re already doing now.

    “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.”

  • Jennifer has lost nearly 50 pounds and her goal is 2:15 in the Air Force Half.  Can she be ready?
    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 Jennifer:
    🏃🏽‍♀️46 years old
    🏃🏿lost nearly 50 pounds in the last 18 months
    🏃🏼‍♀️runs or strength trains every day, but says she cuts back when she needs to
    Learn how I create a custom half marathon training plan for this runner who keeps improving!

    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?

    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.
