About this episode
What if there was a way that you could recover so easily and completely between runs that you didn’t need a day off? I know that sounds too good to be true. But it also could be because right now, you aren’t training or recovering effectively. Let’s find out. 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. On today’s show, we’re going to have a conversation about recovery with Run Elite Coach Andrew Snow. He’s a performance and mindset coach for distance runners with a degree in exercise physiology and a master’s degree in biomechanics. He has completed several races over 100 miles, including the iconic Tahoe 200 mile endurance run all on a plant-based diet. We’ll cover: How your training, not your age, has a direct impact on your recovery Some high-tech devices that can speed up injury healing and promote recovery, and How you can maximize your sleep and your nutrition for best results Andrew is also a runner in my hometown so it was great to meet up and plan this conversation on the run.

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.” Ramses Cano ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love this podcast “Always get so much out of listening to Claire and all her guests. Helpful, inclusive and relevant!” P.Nela ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Fantastic! “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!” Runner Steph Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
