Every episode is so interesting and informative and I really enjoy listening to the guests that Claire interviews each week. 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
