If you want to reach your true potential, it’s not enough to just train your body. You need to train your mind. To become your best, you need to develop both the skills needed to push hard and the ability to pace and hold back.

Thankfully, both of those get better with time and practice.

On today’s episode of the Planted Runner Podcast, I invited the runner who literally wrote the book on pacing to teach you how to do it right.

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.

Matt Fitzgerald has written over 30 books to date on everything to do with running and his new one “On Pace: Discover How to Run Every Race at Your Real Limit” is another must-read for runners.

We talk about:

Matt is always great to talk to and I know you’ll come away from this conversation with some new ways to pace and race just a little closer to your true limits.

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thank you!

I’ve been a fan of yours since run to the top and have listened to your show since the beginning. I am 67 and preparing to run my third marathon. I am by no means a pro having just started this after I retired. Love the interviews and tips, and especially the information you have shared on strength training. That is an area I have been struggling with. Listen to your latest episode and it put things into place for me. Have even checked out the videos on YouTube. Please keep delivering great content.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great Resource for Plant-Based Runners

I’m a newer runner and this has been a very helpful podcast! Coach Claire is so personable and engaging, and inspired me to sign up for my first half. She does a great job at breaking down running lingo. I like that episodes aren’t too long and that tips are applicable. Excited for future episodes 🙂
