When you’re a runner, summer can be a bit of a bummer.  Every run feels harder and your speed seems to evaporate instantly, unlike the massive amount of sweat dripping into your eyes and staining your clothes.
The good news is that all your sweaty work this summer will pay off with faster times in the fall.  Your body will learn how to cool off quicker and more efficiently bring blood and nutrients to your muscles, which will make faster running easier when the weather cools off.
So how do you get through those hot races and runs to get those incredible advantages we are hoping for?  I’ll explore how.
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.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

the science of what is happening when you run in the heat

how you can effectively manage hot runs and keep up your training, and

exactly what you do to prepare for a hot race day


This episode will give you everything you need for all your hot and sweaty runs this summer. 

This September, join me and a small group of runners for an incredible running vacation here in Asheville, NC.  We’re staying in deluxe riverfront cabins right where we can run right out our doors.  We’ll feast on chef-catered plant-based meals, enjoy classes and coaching, and so much more.  To learn more about all the cool things we’ve got planned go to www.theplantedrunner.com/retreat.  Spaces are very limited so sign up today.

ENCORE RUN: How to Beat the Heat on Your Hot and Humid Runs

Introducing The Attack on Black History, with Nikole Hannah-Jones and Jelani Cobb from The New Yorker Radio Hour. Follow the show: The New Yorker Radio Hour Across much of the country, Republican officials are reaching into K-12 classrooms and universities alike to exert control over what can be taught. In Florida, Texas, and many other states, laws now restrict teaching historical facts about race and racism. Book challenges and bans are surging. Public universities are seeing political meddling in the tenure process. Advocates of these measures say, in effect, that education must emphasize only the positive aspects of American history. Nikole Hannah-Jones, the New York Times Magazine reporter who developed the 1619 Project, and Jelani Cobb, the dean of the Columbia University School of Journalism, talk with David Remnick about the changing climate for intellectual freedom. “I just think it’s rich,” Hannah-Jones says, “that the people who say they are opposing indoctrination are in fact saying that curricula must be patriotic.” She adds, “You don’t ban books, you don’t ban curriculum, you don’t ban the teaching of ideas, just to do it. You do it to control what we are able to understand and think about and imagine for our society.”

The pros and cons of heart rate training

How you can determine your max heart rate without going to a lab, and

She explains why common formulas and heart rate zones might be more confusing than helpful.
