RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great listen! “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!” AnnaPerrott ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great source of information “A great mix of topics and a charismatic speaker. I would love an episode on running mechanics, which muscle, bones, ligaments and tendons are activated with each step” agrancea ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Look forward to this every week! “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!” jessicaa_xx3 Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
