Debunking Running Myths with Trail and Strength Coach Tera Pruett

You’ve already made two of the best decisions of your life as a plant-based runner. Now it’s time to get better at both every week. I’m Coach Claire Bartholic, and I went from not running at all to finishing a marathon in 2:58 at age 42, all on a plant-based diet. I’ve coached hundreds of vegan, vegetarian, and plant-curious runners of all ages and abilities with science-backed training, plant-based nutrition, and proven mental strength techniques. Whether you are training for your first 5k or your 50th marathon, you can start exactly where you are right now, and get better today.

Walking can actually be your super power to better running.  That’s right, walking can make you a better runner. And I don’t just mean taking the dog out for a walk, which is a literal step in the right direction. I’m talking about the power of incorporating intentional walking before, during, and after your runs. And this is not just for beginner runners. It’s for everyone. How can this possibly help your running? Let’s find out. On today’s show, I’m going to explore the ways walking can help you upgrade your running fitness. We’ll go over how:
the run/walk method can be used by more than just beginner runners,
walking can actually lead to more running for even the fastest runners, and
getting in more walking into the rest of your day can boost your overall fitness.

 If you want a super simple way to get fitter without much effort, this is the show for you. 
 Want to see me demonstrate this in person?   Here’s your chance! This September, join me and a small group of runners for an incredible running vacation here in Asheville, NC. All paces are welcome, even if you are mostly walking. We’re staying in deluxe riverfront cabins right where we can run right out our doors. We’ll feast on chef-catered plant-based meals, enjoy classes and coaching, and so much more. To learn more about all the cool things we’ve got planned go to www.theplantedrunner.com/retreat. We’ve got just a few spots left so sign up today.

PRTL:  "Can I Run a 1:30 Half Marathon?"

Introducing Love Is Blind, and Allegedly Toxic from The New Yorker Radio Hour. Follow the show: The New Yorker Radio Hour On the reality-TV dating show  “Love Is Blind,” the most watched original series in Netflix history, contestants are alone in windowless, octagonal pods with no access to their phones or the Internet. They talk to each other through the walls. There’s intrigue, romance, heartbreak, and, in some cases, sight-unseen engagements. According to several lawsuits, there’s also lack of sleep, lack of food and water, twenty-hour work days, and alleged physical and emotional abuse. New Yorker staff writer Emily Nussbaum has been reporting on what these lawsuits reveal about the culture on the set of “Love Is Blind,” and a push for a new union to give reality-TV stars employee protections and rights. “The people who are on reality shows are a vulnerable class of people who are mistreated by the industry in ways that are made invisible to people, including to fans who love the shows,” Nussbaum tells David Remnick. Nussbaum’s forthcoming book is “Cue the Sun! The Invention of Reality TV.”

There has never been more evidence that a diet rich in whole plant-foods, high in fiber, and low in saturated fats and animal products is the clear path to human health and longevity. But does that mean everyone should immediately go vegan?  And what does this all mean for athletic performance? As much as I’d love this to be inarguably true because it works for me, it’s more complicated than that.  And I’m not here to preach my opinions to anyone, but I do love some good science. Can a plant-based diet really help you and your running? Let’s find out. On today’s show, I’m going to go over
the benefits that a plant-based diet provides runners
the potential downsides to going plant-based, and I’ll give you 
a day in the life of a plant-based runner with meal examples that you can try today

 If you’re curious about going plant-based or if you already are, but could use some inspiration, I’ve got you covered.
