A Devastating Diagnosis Turns Into the Run of a Lifetime


Listen Later

How would you handle being diagnosed with an incurable condition that affected everything you do? One whose symptoms came on suddenly and erratically, and affected you both mentally and physically?

If you’re anything like Besty Mueller, you’d use it as inspiration for the greatest endurance adventure of your life.

Betsy is training to be the first person with MS to run across the United States.

In today’s conversation, you’ll learn:

  • What inspired her to set out on this adventure
  • What her training, diet, and life look like, and
  • You just might be inspired to search for your own limits in running and in life.

  • If you need a little motivation or inspiration for your own running, this one is for you.

    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.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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!”
