from The Planted Runner · host Evergreen Podcasts

Do you have Marathon Face? Running can affect your skin and hair making you look older than you really are.  But there are ways to make sure you are not sacrificing great skin and hair for your running PRs. You’ll learn: Why we chafe and how to prevent it How running can prematurely age your skin, and How to protect your hair from damage caused directly or indirectly from running. This is a topic that’s not really discussed too much in the running world, so you might not even realize that running is making your skin and hair look older than you actually are. I’ll also go into what I do personally to age well and look my best, in case you’re interested. Welcome to the Planted Runner.

RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Helpful! Lots of very helpful tips that are backed by science and experience.  Love the training lab episodes! BrookeyPage ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love love this show and Claire I’ve been listening to Claire’s voice and advice since “Run to the Top.” Starting my run with that familiar voice, puts my mind at ease.  This is not just another run podcast. It has so much useful advice across the board.  Claire was my first run coach.  I was in the first run team she had. I recommend that to any runner.  She makes you feel heard.  I’m an ultra runner mainly now, but I’m still listening, because her advice works on the trail too.  Keep going girl! UltraSloan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My favorite part of my run I recommend this podcast to all my running friends.  Claire has a way of making you feel completely understood.  The information is incredibly useful and based in solid science.  The episodes are the perfect length–clear, concise, and always uplifting.  It’s a must-listed for anyone looking for practical advice and a positive boost. lupismedina Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
