New listener, long time follower on Instagram. I listened to the PR Training lab for a half marathon. It’s very easy to listen to and such helpful information for experienced runners to new runners.

The latest episode had 3:40 of ads at the begging, then more in the middle of the podcast. When this first started the host mentioned that there were no intentions on having ads, which was not true.

I love Claire’s approach to running information and knowledge - it’s straightforward and what we need to know. Great listen. And loving the PRTLs and listening to your thought process. 🤗

I like that this podcast gives actual information and advice to recreational runners who want to find their best performance. Claire is easy to listen to and paces the podcast well. I bet she paces her runs well too!

Have really been enjoying you discussions on training. Being an older runner I can see the errors I have made in my training by now understanding your approach to training and how you prescribe that training. Not to mention what a great vide you offer with your love of running. Will continue to listen and learn.

Recently started listening to Claire and thoroughly enjoy the wisdom she shares from years of experience. As a new but older runner she provides not just inspiration but scientific proof that progress is possible. It’s a great listen!

Out of the few running podcasts I enjoy, this is definitely my first go-to as new ones come out! I’m a vegetarian and definitely still new to the whole running thing, so this show has been super interesting and helpful along the way! Thank you for doing it!

I always enjoy listening to the show—I love the realistic and well-balanced attitude towards running and overall lifestyle. Lots of great information and it’s a fun listen!

I’ve been enjoying the PR labs episodes and understanding the thought process that goes into building a race plan

After a health scare eight years ago, I went plant-based. It changed my life and my health. A year and a half ago, at the now ‘masters’ age of 59, I was out taking a brisk walk as part of my daily exercise and I realized I suddenly wanted to run again. Run like I did when I was a child. It had been so long since I had just taken off and been spontaneous with my physical activity. So I decided then in there ‘I wanna run again.’ I could barely go half a mile without stopping and I had no idea what I was doing. I downloaded a couple of things and finally set a goal; I wanted to run a 5K. Three months later, I finished my 5K and I was hooked on running. I wanted to improve so I went and started looking for podcasts and books. That’s when I found ‘The Planted Runner.’ It spoke to my lifestyle, the way I see the world and gave me instructions that I could follow implement in my day-to-day life. It inspired me at a time of of life when it’s hard to sometimes become inspired. I just recently finished my first 10k at the age of 60 and now I’m training to see if I could possibly do a half marathon. Your podcast in addition to the techniques, recipes, and science-based motivation, has been a game changer. Thank you!

Love listening to the podcast while running! There is a lot of great information!

Super informative and educational. Really enjoy the content.

I have really enjoyed listening to Claire’s topics, tips, and her personal running stories. I was lucky enough to be chosen for a PR lab training plan and I am so excited to put this into place in August as I train for a marathon. thank you for the great information and sharing your time and talent with us!

In bite-sized chunks, Coach Claire provides great insight & tips on a variety of topics pertaining to running!

Really enjoyed the latest bonus episode on the PR training lab! Learned a lot about my running journey and what to look for in a good but realistic training plan for a marathon! She explains everything so well and keeps me engaged in most running/nutrition topics! Thank you!

I like how Coach Claire picks topics that can be relevant to all runners! The information is easy to digest and not overwhelming. Plus the episode lengths are perfect to listen to on a run.

I absolutely love the topics Coach Claire chooses and the fact that the podcasts aren’t super long. She gives you the facts in an easy to digest manner (no pun intended). I’m hooked!

Coach Clare is the real deal. She gives advice and insight to improve your running. Her podcast covers a variety of topics; fueling, pacing and other interesting running topics. If you want to become a better runner then listen to her podcast at the very least. Better yet, checkout her personalized training plans.

Thank you for your amazing tips on training, fueling and all things running.

Claire brings science and reality together in this engaging podcast. I listen every week. Between the knowledgeable guest appearances and Claire’s extensive knowledge of running, you are always sure to learn something. I especially appreciate her focus on the often neglected mental side of running.

This podcast has totally changed the way I view running as a whole. The tips and tricks that were discussed in the Boston Marathon Training Mistakes episode was eye opening for me as I was training for Boston. It was super helpful to know what I should change and what I should expect. Thank you for always providing the discussions we all want and need!

Loved it! I’ll be training for the Chicago Marathon so that means training through the summer. Right now I live in Oregon so not a bad place to train. We will be moving soon for a new job most likely to the midweat so the weather will definitely be a factor. I love all the tips for heat training and what to watch for for heat exhaustion and heat stroke. I’m 59 and this will be my second Marathon. I’m hoping to improve my time from 4:16. I run 4 days a week and bike 1 day. Thanks for all the helpful advice!

I got into running late; coming up on 7 years ago at the age of 41. I have been steadily making progress. My speeds have gradually increased, and I have just run my 6th marathon. NOTHING has helped me more with my progress than Coach Claire’s tips. I have been using her tips one by one, with each marathon. I went from a 4:52 marathon at the age of 45 in June 2021, to a 4:15 marathon at the age of 48 in May 2024. Hoping to break 4:00 this year in October for my 49th birthday. I just bought her book and I love it. I love this podcast. I can’t imagine the possibilities if I had her as an actual coach. Thanks Coach Claire!

I love the content of this podcast. However, I don’t love the music in the background.

Coach Claire’s podcast is fantastic! I enjoy her insight, tips, ideas and of course the mental strength minute on each show. I have recently started using her YouTube videos recently for my workouts also. PRs here I come!?

Just stumbled on the podcast. Was a runner for a few years and have taken time off to raise kids (single parent of 3 young kids) and to transition to a plant based lifestyle. Looking to get back into the swing of things and a few episodes on YouTube and now here has me excited to get back.

I found this podcast a little bit ago and love it. She does a great job and very informative keep up the good work. Every episode is filled with great content thank you!

I really enjoyed the episode about the spirituality of running. What an unexpected topic! As a new runner I felt relieved to experienced runners say the first mile is always the hardest.

This podcast has been an excellent resource for me as a runner. It is packed with educational tips and content all in bite-sized episodes. Love it!

This is one of the best running podcasts to hear! Very informative and inspiring. I look forward to every episode!

I love this podcast so much and look forward to its release each week! It’s so informative and helpful and tackles a lot of issues us runners think and worry about silently, it’s so great to have them addressed and helpful solutions along with it. Claire is also very well spoken, and I really enjoy the interviews where she challenges the way her guest thinks/operates, she’s great at adding a different perspective and it helps the guest speaker really dive in deep with their knowledge. Amazing podcast, keep up the great work!

Love this podcast. Listen when I run on the treadmill! Im just a beginner training for a half marathon and the topics are so informative! Keep it goin l!

I love this podcast. Relevant information that’s engaging but nice and short for when you only have a little bit of time.

I gain insight form each episode. Claire communicates in a way that is easy to understand and any type of running would benefit from listening.

Always get so much out of listening to Claire and all her guests. Helpful, inclusive and relevant! Loved episode about plant based protein. Really simplified this topic and the example of what a day of eating could look like was perfect 💕

Highly recommend listening to this podcast! I am a high school runner in xc and track, and although I am not plant based, I find so much good information in this podcast and thoroughly enjoy listening to it! Claire is relatable, fun to listen to, and she plans out her podcasts well so she’s not rambling on and on but isn’t boring either. She has great questions to ask interviewers and great advice! Thanks for a good podcast for all runners out there! :)

I took the “Train your brain like an elite distance athlete” on a recent run, as I was looking for something new to listen to. Really enjoyed it! Happy to have found a new catalogue of content - from a like minded plant-based athlete - to run with!

Never thought I would find a perfect podcast for me! Coach Claire’s insights are incredibly interesting, easy to digest, and most importantly, have transformed me as a runner. I can’t tell you how many things she’s discussed that I’ve ended up implementing in my life. That includes the fact that I now regularly do Pilates for Runners, have adopted a safety routine for each of my runs, been making some yummy plant-based recipes, and even paced my recent 50 km race with negative splits to get a PR! Claire, I love your positivity and passion for what you do. Keep up this good work and inspiring runners like us!

As a runner that has listened to many different running podcasts, coming across this one has been refreshing. Love the variety in topics, the guests, and the emphasis on a plant-based diet behind all of our running success.

I have learned so much since I started listening to this podcast. I have been improving every this year. I share your podcast with everyone in my Run group. this weekend, I will be running my first marathon, and I am the strongest I have ever felt. Thank you for teaching me how to improve my life and my running.

I love this podcast as a recreational masters runner. I learn something new and gain helpful insights and practical tips from each episode even without being plant-based myself.

I am so grateful that I found this podcast that provides so many tips and informed support for me as a be 63 year old vegan runner who is pursuing a goal to qualify for the Boston Marathon. From the interview with Shannon Thomas on how to mentally motivate oneself or your personal motivational story, I as a 63 year old marathoner find much inspiration and training tips. Thank you! I hope to join your PR Team soon.

I have loved running for 35 years, but only for the last few years started truly learning about running and importance of strength and nutrition! I cannot recommend her podcasts enough! Thanks Claire!

I discovered this podcast a couple of months ago and every topic is awesome, with a realistic and professional approach and most important, well produced. I have been an athlete all my life but a plant-based diet athlete for around 10 years, I think this podcast is a gem for us, every week I wait for any topic, doesn't matter if I have experience, I always find a key element to help me to improve. I'm looking forward to every week for this podcast.

Claire is knowledgeable and entertaining. As a fellow plant based eater and somewhat new runner, I was searching for someone who could guide me on my running journey. I hit the jackpot with this podcast. I also followed Claire’s training plan last year to guide me to my first half marathon and I finished strong with her advice!

Claire is so knowledgeable and her podcast has such a great balance - it’s to the point, easy to understand and always so informative. I love listening to it while I run :)

As a plant-based runner, very interested in performance this is right up my alley! thank you for all of your tips and tricks

I’m a new runner and listening to the topics on this podcast, especially the ones related to injury and impacts of running on mental state is so helpful! Thank you, I hope to gain more marathon training tips!

Hi Coach Claire, I really enjoyed your episode about weight gain while training for marathons. I have just started training for my first marathon so this episode came at just the right time. Like a lot of us, I have put pressure on myself to lose a few pounds so I can be “faster.” Since this episode I have put my scale away and started listening to what my body needs rather than what the number on the scale says. Thank you! Jill

Great idea for runners and useful tips Love all the guests and tips for success Thank you Heather for Montana 😊😊😊👍
