Summary

Even to this day, most scientific studies either intentionally or unintentionally exclude women. Females are difficult to study because we have periods, fluctuating hormones, and babies. So we’re left to take the advice that works for males and assume that we’re close enough. The reality is, we’re far from it. But there is hope. 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. My guest today is journalist Christine Yu. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why women have been traditionally excluded from scientific research on athletes Why that matters in the first place, and How new research specifically on the female athlete can transform the way you train, fuel, and recover. Christine Yu is an award-winning journalist whose work focuses on the intersection of sports science and women athletes. Her writing has appeared in Outside, The Washington Post, Runner’s World, and other publications. Her new book, Up To Speed, explores the myths and gender biases of scientific research today, and empowers people to excel in sport regardless of sex or gender. It’s a fascinating read for anyone who considers themselves a student of sport. Don’t forget to stay tuned all the way to the end for another Mental Strength Minute. Fortify your mind in 60 seconds or less. ABOUT ME: I have helped hundreds of real runners chase their dreams and conquer what they never thought possible.

I’ve been following and listening to Claire for several months. Mental strength minute is my favorite part of each episode. Todays topic in muscle soreness was just for me 😉.

For now I’ll keep soaking up knowledge from other amazing coaches. Thank you Claire!” Boondoggleman ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great Running Content “Very educational podcast that covers a wide array of running topics.

    How to Unlock Your Speed and Finally Master Your Interval Training

    Release Date: 02/16/2023

    Description: Struggling with speed?  I’ll share my best tips on how to do it right. Today you’ll learn: How to get started with speedwork Where people often make speed training mistakes, and I’ll share My 6 best tips to make your interval training more successful and less stressful One of the great ironies of getting faster at running long distances, is that you need to run slow most of the time. Running at a conversational pace is the ideal way to become an endurance machine. The vast majority of your running, or around 80% of your weekly mileage, should be spent purposefully jogging. Yep, it’s boring but true, consistent easy running is most of what it takes to get really good at it. But if you truly want to get to the next level with your running, just jogging all the time isn’t going to cut it.  You’ve got to add the right dose of speed and learn to master interval training.
