RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A+ I appreciate Coach Claire’s positive insights on training! JRA4177 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A highlight of my week It is a gift to be able to have a space for plant-based runners to learn!  Claire’s advice is always solid and not just limited to the plant-based, but doesn’t include fueling your runs with unhealthy foods, which seems to happen on other podcasts.  Thank you! AmyFica ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Best running podcast As a seasoned marathoner but new plant-based runner, Coach Claire is a valuable resource. Solid content for runners across the spectrum, I especially appreciate her confidence in middle age running ladies like myself who are trying to keep up the hobby they love most. She has helped me maintain my competitive nature while being realistic about my stage in life.  Thank you for fantastic content! Scmilezzz Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
