The show's host and interviewer, Claire, is excellent, and she consistently brings on fascinating guests to discuss topics that are pertinent to me and my running journey.” K-town825 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The Best Running Podcast on the Planet “If you are a runner and especially a plant-based athlete, the planted runner offers information that is science-based, practical and inspirational. Topics run the gamut from running form to endurance to injury prevention to plant-based nutrition made simple. Claire is a tremendously talented interviewer, likely because she is so very experienced herself. The guests are knowledgeable and clearly dedicated to passing their insights onto others. The podcast is a welcome companion on training runs as often as new podcasts are available. I also find myself returning to certain ones to glean every bit of information out of it I can. Thanks, Claire.” Scott R. from Normal, Il ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great advice and easy to listen to “I was searching for a new running podcast and gave The Planted Runner a try. Wasn't sure if it would be for vegan runners or exactly how it might connect with me. I loved it! Coach Claire Bartholic's voice and background music are very easy to listen to. I especially liked her thoughts about result based goals vs process goals. Definitely adding this to my weekly playlist! Highly recommended.” UH_Fridge Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat

RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Game changer. 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! Carriesian ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Practical and pragmatic Lots of terrific ideas across every facet of running. Very practical and real-life scenarios. Terrific advice for everyone - not just solely plant-based runners. Jkel99  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5 stars 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!?

At a time when the federal government is rolling back rights and recognition for transgender Americans, Colorado is moving to expand its protections in a number of areas, including medical care, harassment, death certificates and more. Democratic state lawmakers and proponents say they want to ensure certain rights for the state's transgender community get the protection of law. But opponents, including GOP lawmakers, argue the proposals go beyond equality. CPR's Bente Birkeland and KUNC's Lucas Brady Woods look at the various legislative efforts before Colorado lawmakers this session, how the debates are shaping up at the statehouse and what this could mean for trans Coloradans, against the backdrop of anti-trans rhetoric and actions increasing on the federal level.  And if you've ever wanted to see the Purplish team in action, here is your chance: we're hosting a live taping of the show, the evening of Tuesday, April 22, in Denver. Find all the details, and get your tickets, here.Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state. Funding for the Alliance is provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.Purplish's producer is Stephanie Wolf. This episode was edited by Megan Verlee and sound designed and engineered by Shane Rumsey. Our theme music is by Brad Turner.

Fueling your body properly for running is a fairly complex process, but it can be best summed up in one phrase called glycogen metabolism. Understanding the basics of glycogen metabolism is essential to creating a fueling plan that will enable you to train and race your best. And the science is actually quite fascinating. You'll learn: how your body creates and uses fuel for any kind of run how you can enhance this process, and how you can improve your glycogen storage to have a greater stash of energy for performance This topic could easily fall deep in the rabbit hole of physiology, biochemistry, and anatomy, but I'm going to hopefully make it easier to understand the process in just a few minutes.

How to Fortify Your Mind - Phil 4:4-9 by Chaplain Braswell

Well, there's a way in which, if you eat candy every day, you may think "I'm okay," but if you cultivate knowledge about where diabetes comes from, and what happens when you ingest junk food over a long period of time, then you can get an overview. When we're practicing a discipline, it's always helpful to take directives seriously that even though I don't know what the result is going to be exactly, I can take it from the experts. This is the outcome. The doctor will say, "If you do this enough times, it's going to lead to this." Or if someone says, "If you play tereketa carefully, you're going to be able to move your hands on the mridanga in a certain way, in a certain time," in the beginning, you have to follow the authority. It's part of the mighty practice is take the order as a military order that "this is the way to march. This is the way to do these things," trusting the doctor and trusting the order that's coming down. And if I do it properly, then the result will come on it's own accord. So Kṛṣṇa says, "evaṁ buddheḥ paraṁ buddhvā, saṁstabhyātmānam ātmanā, jahi śatruṁ mahā-bāho, kāma-rūpaṁ durāsadam (BG 3.43)—Fortify your intelligence and be smart about it, and don't give into the whimsies of your mind. Rule by your intelligence, not by some idea that your mind has, like, who cares? Be more strict with yourself in the process," and that always seems to turn out better in all aspects of our life, doesn't it? ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #makejapagreatagain #mantrameditation #chantharekrishnaandbehappy #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Some runners rely almost exclusively on their heart rate to tell them how hard or how easy their runs are and some even plan their entire training around heart rate zones. The only problem is, well, heart rate training is problematic. So why do so many runners use it?  And should you? Let's find out. Today, I'm joined by one of my favorite running coaches, Elisabeth Scott from Running Explained.   We go over: The pros and cons of heart rate training How you can determine your max heart rate without going to a lab, and She explains why common formulas and heart rate zones might be more confusing than helpful. If you've ever struggled with keeping your heart rate low on an easy run or wondering if it's getting too high on a workout, we'll get to the heart of the matter in this episode.

Today I'm excited to introduce you to 4dFI Capital Partners — or as we call it, 4dFI — a new initiative bringing together the worlds of traditional finance and innovative fintech. In this episode, we're diving into three key themes reshaping global financial services: Hidden Innovations in Emerging Markets As Russell Weiss points out, "There's some incredible innovations happening in emerging markets, and oftentimes investors and executives in the US and Europe are sort of missing it. They're not hearing those stories. They're not getting access to that technology." We'll explore how companies like Nubank are just the beginning of a wave of groundbreaking financial solutions coming from regions outside traditional financial centers. From Fintech to Impact Investment In regions where traditional credit infrastructure is lacking, services like earned wage access aren't just convenient—they're transformative. Josh Liggett explains how these solutions are "where a FinTech turns from a FinTech company to also an impact investment," creating both financial returns and meaningful change in consumers' lives. Building a Value-Add Investment Community Beyond just providing capital, Fortify aims to create a network of experienced professionals who can offer expertise, connections, and insights to emerging market fintechs. This collaborative approach benefits everyone involved—investors gain exposure to new models, startups receive valuable guidance, and ultimately, consumers get better financial products. I'm joined today by my partners Russell Weiss and Josh Liggett, who bring complementary skills in data science, VC deal-making, and fintech expertise to this exciting venture. Whether you're a financial industry veteran looking for new horizons or simply curious about where global fintech is heading, today's conversation offers valuable insights into the future of finance beyond traditional markets. Let's dive in.

I also love the PR training labs and have already learned so much about my own running and nutrition through listening to Claire's knowledge and expertise. I can't wait for the next episode!” MarieAD38  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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!” Sup bois99 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great running podcast “Great show, overall information that provided some great new techniques and some solid reminders.” croy21 Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat

I can't wait for the next episode!” MarieAD38 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The podcast I needed “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. 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!” aborders@film180 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Tapering episode “Loved listening to this episode it had a lot Of great info!!!” LRod@1002 Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat

What if I told you that the running goal that you're dreaming of might actually be harder to achieve if you focus on it too much?   It's true. So what's the best way to have big goals yet hold them loosely and then actually achieve them? Let's find out. On today's show, we'll explore the practice of effective goal setting.  We'll go over: How goal setting is necessary yet not enough, How a results-oriented focus can keep you from getting the results you want, and We'll look at better ways to set running goals that you can actually achieve rather than just circling a race date in the future and dreaming about it. If you've just run a big race this season and you are taking some downtime to reassess where your running is going right now, this is the perfect time to reflect and plan a new running cycle where you are in control of your success each and every day.  Welcome to the Planted Runner.

When you're plant-based and your family and friends aren't, it can feel like you're the odd one out. If you're hosting and you're not making turkey on Thanksgiving, your meat-eating guests are likely to grumble. If you're a guest, you might go hungry unless you show up with a vegan meal to share. Is there any way to make the holiday gathering go a little smoother for everyone this year? Let's find out. Today, I'm talking with a very special guest, Nick Cutsumpas, also known as Farmer Nick. Nick is an Emmy-winning plant-based gardener, landscaper, and plant coach. I invited him on the show to have a conversation all about how to have a happy and healthy holiday when you're plant-based and your family is not. We go over: Meal ideas whether you are a guest or if you are hosting, Potluck do's and don'ts, and  How to best respond to common questions, without being that angry vegan And, I couldn't help myself, we also talk a little about gardening and houseplants, two more things Nick and I have in common. If you are listening to this on the day it comes out and you are American, Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you are celebrating with the people you love and can reflect on everything you are thankful for. If you're not American, or if you are listening to this after Thanksgiving, this will still apply to holidays in general, specifically if you are plant-based. Welcome to the Planted Runner.

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!

Let us know how that works out of you.

No one starts a race expecting to quit. But if you race often enough, it will likely happen to you. Sometimes quitting in the middle of a race is absolutely the right thing to do. Other times, quitting is just quitting and you will be full of regret when you do. How can you tell? And more importantly, how can you turn it into something positive? Let's find out. On today's show, I'm going to talk about the dreaded DNF. I speak on personal experience on this one, because I've been there myself. I'll go over: when it's a really good idea to stop a race,  when you should probably push on try to finish, and  how to get over a DNF and get back to better racing in the future.   When you are in the middle of a stressful race, you're not going to be thinking as clearly as you are now. So it's a whole lot better to start running through the scenarios ahead of time to ensure that you make the right choice when you have to.
