What High School Kids Are Doing That Can Make You a Better Runner
You might be surprised to learn what today’s high school cross country kids are doing to become better athletes. And it’s definitely not more running.

You’ll learn:
About the the differences between training adults and high school kids,
What parents need to know about high school coaches, and

Jay’s got a lot of great resources that we talk about in this episode which are all linked below.
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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Perfect timing 😊
“I am a listener from Asia and I stumbled upon your podcast a year ago. I have been running for a few years now but just recently shifted to a plant based diet. I am so happy I found this podcast. It really helped me a lot and up to now, I’m still learning every episode. It has been tough having this lifestyle, especially where I am from where the resources are very meager. Thank you so much and I always look forward to weekly episodes. Keep it up, I hope you know how much help and inspiration you are able to give 💯”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Authentic and Powerful
“Coach Claire is one of the most genuine, authentic and relatable voices out there - especially when it comes to helping you move forward and reach your goals. When I met her almost 4 years ago I never could have imagined what I’d be capable of today. My life has changed dramatically for the better - both physically and mentally. She started where most of us do - from zero - with a goal of getting in better shape for a class reunion. Working consistently, day by day, she not only got in shape but went on to reach many impressive milestones, ultimately turning her passion into a full time career. However, the one burning desire I’ve heard her repeat over and over since I’ve know her is, “I just want help others”. Well, now she’s now turned all of that determination and energy that’s gotten her this far into doing what she truly loves - helping others reach their goals. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Claire off the air and I can tell you she’s the real deal. Every day is not easy but she plows ahead and remains a nice person while doing it. This is a great quality. Bottom line: she is constantly pushing herself and others to be better both “in and out of the running shoes”! Im really happy to see her reach this milestone and can’t wait to see what the future holds!! For those that listen, this will be of great benefit!”

I’m Coach Claire Bartholic, and I went from not running at all to finishing a marathon in 2:58 at age 42, all on a plant-based diet. I’ve coached hundreds of vegan, vegetarian, and plant-curious runners of all ages and abilities with science-backed training, plant-based nutrition, and proven mental strength techniques. Whether you are training for your first 5k or your 50th marathon, you can start exactly where you are right now, and get better today.
