ABOUT ME:

I have helped hundreds of real runners chase their dreams and conquer what they never thought possible. My coaching philosophy combines science-based training, plant-based running nutrition, and proven mindset techniques to unlock every runner's true potential.

I’m a certified running coach, sports nutrition specialist, mom, and borderline obsessive plant lover.

As an athlete, I went from a 4:02 first marathon all the way to a 2:58 finishing time at the age of 42, entirely plant-based.

I coach vegan, plant-based, and plant-curious runners to achieve the same dramatic success, from those on a walk-run program, general fitness, up to high-level athletes.

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Inspirational, Educational & Awesome

I started listening to Claire when she was on her previous podcast. I was so excited when she was developing and started her own podcast. As a nurse, dietitian, mom and mostly plant based runner who started later in life, Claire’s journey resonated with me. But even more importantly, I find Claire to be an incredible resource and enjoyable to listen to. I have learned so much and I love her style as well as the mental minute at the end of each podcast. As a clinician, I find her evidence-based approach critical to healthy success. I subscribe to many podcast and the planted runner with Claire as its host is by far my favorite!! I also heard her being interviewed on other podcasts and she’s equally fantastic and I have to say soy curls are a game changer!!! Thank you Claire!

I just found this podcast and I’m absolutely in love with all of the information that I’m learning from Claire. I’ve been running for 10 years now and I’m transitioning to a vegan lifestyle and this podcast is an amazing wealth of goodness!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great info to be better

I really appreciate the way Claire approaches the topics on her podcast. Each episode has great energy (which works well as I listen on my runs) but also matches scientific insights with practical advice. I’ve learned a lot and explored topics I didn’t know I needed to think about to be a better and healthier runner.
