Struggling with speed?  I’ll share my best tips on how to do it right. Today you’ll learn:   How to get started with speedwork   Where people often make speed training mistakes, and I’ll share   My 6 best tips to make your interval training more successful and less stressful   One of the great ironies of getting faster at running long distances, is that you need to run slow most of the time. Running at a conversational pace is the ideal way to become an endurance machine. The vast majority of your running, or around 80% of your weekly mileage, should be spent purposefully jogging. Yep, it’s boring but true, consistent easy running is most of what it takes to get really good at it. But if you truly want to get to the next level with your running, just jogging all the time isn’t going to cut it.  You’ve got to add the right dose of speed and learn to master interval training. 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.

Introducing The Power of Awe... and Where to Find it from The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos. Follow the show: The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos Awe reduces stress, helps us forget our minor worries and makes us feel more connected to the people around us. We all need more awe in our lives - but surely it's not that easy to find awesome experiences on your average Tuesday? Actor Tony Hale explains how everyday awe helps ease his anxieties, while UC Berkeley's Dacher Keltner shows us how to find awe in music, art, scenery... even in a walk around our block. And Dr Laurie explores the things that give her a sense of awe with the help of Mike Menzel - who built a space telescope that lets us see billions of years into the past.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So let’s explore. On today’s show, we’re going to get into everything you need to know about treadmill running. You’ll learn:
