Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Claire Bartholic, also known as The Planted Runner. Claire shares her powerful story of resilience, shaped by both personal trials and athletic triumphs. From enduring the devastating effects of a hurricane in her hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, to pushing her physical and mental limits as a marathon runner, Claire exemplifies what it means to be truly unbreakable.
She opens up about how running started as a vanity-driven goal to look good for her high school reunion and evolved into a deep pursuit of performance and personal growth. Claire dives into what it takes to achieve a sub-three-hour marathon—something most people can’t even imagine—and how that level of discipline translates into everyday life.
The conversation also touches on the dangers of obsession with vanity and performance, and how self-awareness and balance are critical. Whether you're a runner, fitness enthusiast, or just someone striving for more in life, this conversation will inspire you to rethink your limits and lean into your own resilience.Website-www.theplantedrunner.com
