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 Podcast “I have been following Claire with the Planted Runner blog for a while and am thrilled to get to experience her knowledge and sage advise through a listening format.
