Can you learn to master your mind like an elite athlete?

Let’s find out.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

how to silence the voice that tells you to quit,

how to shift away from useless perfectionism, and

how to reframe your running goals so you always cross the finish line with a smile.

Some of these techniques will be immensely helpful to shift your mindset, while others might not be your jam, and that’s okay.  We all have different triggers and issues and my goal is to provide you with as many tools as I can.  Use what works and toss the rest.

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.

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Running plans

I found your podcast recently and I’m finding it very helpful! I’m coming back from injury and you are helping me to motivate myself.  My last race was 2 years ago!  Foot surgery has a long recovery time! Thanks for all the great content!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Honest and trustworthy training info

I appreciate your approach to training and especially your consideration for older runners.  I am 67 years old and I and running my first marathon in December 2025 then being 68 years old.  I have already gained so many helpful training tips and hope to possibly work with you on some coaching later in the year.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A highlight of my week

It is a gift to be able to have a space for plant-based runners to learn!  Claire’s advice is always solid and not just limited to the plant-based, but doesn’t include fueling your runs with unhealthy foods, which seems to happen on other podcasts.  Thank you!
