The episode reinforced the 2 to 3 day per week strength training I have been doing over the last 4 years. Also, having a physical therapist discuss this topic was great. Like running, being consistent with strength training is not only important for running but also conducting everyday functional activities. Great episode. I enjoy this podcast with great and relevant running topics. Keep up the good work Claire. Thank you. Dave S”  Seds1957 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Refreshing approach to plant based running and life!! “Thank you Claire for an amazing podcast! I am transitioning to a more healthy plant based nutrition plan for both my running as well as my life! Your motivational podcasts and inspirational stories have really galvanized me to start a new journey. Thank you for providing honest and real feedback & experiences, and for the Mental Strength Minute. I love how one minute a day, can change my outlook on the rest of my 24hr day! Please continue to do what you do, you change more lives then you know!” MamaChan11  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thank you! “I’ve been a fan of yours since run to the top and have listened to your show since the beginning. I am 67 and preparing to run my third marathon. I am by no means a pro having just started this after I retired. Love the interviews and tips, and especially the information you have shared on strength training. That is an area I have been struggling with. Listen to your latest episode and it put things into place for me. Have even checked out the videos on YouTube. Please keep delivering great content.” Digital Sailor Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
