If you have a busy life with a stressful job and kids, training for a marathon can seem out of the question. It can be a like a part-time job and yet another thing on your to-do list.

But what if marathon training could actually make your stressful life more rewarding and efficient?

➡️How Megan manages a demanding job, a busy young family, all while marathon training.

➡️How best tips for communicating with your partner to make sure everyone is thriving, and

➡️The surprising gift that running has given her that affects nearly every other aspect of her life.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The Best Running Podcast on the Planet

“If you are a runner and especially a plant-based athlete, the planted runner offers information that is science-based, practical and inspirational. Topics run the gamut from running form to endurance to injury prevention to plant-based nutrition made simple. Claire is a tremendously talented interviewer, likely because she is so very experienced herself. The guests are knowledgeable and clearly dedicated to passing their insights onto others. The podcast is a welcome companion on training runs as often as new podcasts are available. I also find myself returning to certain ones to glean every bit of information out of it I can. Thanks, Claire.”
