When I was pregnant with my kids, I was not a runner.  I did what I could, but I definitely wasn’t running.

In the years since, I’ve coached countless women through their pregnancies and postpartum and today, I’m going to share what I’ve learned from them and from the research.

You’ll learn:

how running can help you have a better pregnancy, an easier delivery, and a healthier baby.  

when not to run while pregnant, and

how to get back into running shape in a safe and healthy way after delivery.

This show is obviously female focused, but that doesn't mean that there is nothing in here for the guys listening.  The human body is capable of incredible things and if there is a woman in your life that has given birth or could in the future, you might want to listen up so that you can understand a little bit more of her experience.

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.
