About this episode
If you’ve been running for any length of time, you know that running is as much mental as physical. Maybe more. After all, it doesn’t matter how strong your legs are if your mind quits before the finish line. Today’s episode is about learning to view your running in a completely different way, as a practice, not a test. You’ll learn: why hitting your paces in a workout doesn’t mean what you think it means, how letting go of control, just a little, can actually make you better, and how to turn any bad run into a good one. This episode is about your mindset about training overall. If what you really need is a targeted approach to conquering race day doubts, I’m creating something just for you. Be sure you are on my email list at theplantedrunner.com so you can grab it as soon as it’s ready. Welcome to the Planted Runner.

RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My Go-to podcast I’ve been running for the last 10yrs, vegan for 3 and this last year I’ve been dialing in my casual running to actually training. Being able to have The Planted Runner podcast as a resource has been priceless and it’s kept me entertained and inspired on long drives, long runs, and during work. Claire clearly has a wealth of knowledge and I really enjoy learning from her and the various guests she has on the show! Definitely worth a listen! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great podcast! Love listening to the podcast while running! There is a lot of great information! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great content Super informative and educational. Really enjoy the content. Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
