  • Running tips and inspiration at its best

    I’ve followed for a while and pop in and out when I see a topic I’m especially in need of help or need to revisit some expert tips from Claire. Super helpful information. Claire is so knowledgable and presents everything is such a user friendly way, whether you are a newbie runner or looking for some updated perspective on the world of running!

  • Great podcast for experienced and new runners alike!

    I found this podcast about 5 years ago and have been a devoted listener ever since. Great interviews with famous and ordinary runners along with running advice and discussions that will motivate you to get out there and be the best runner you can be.

  • Very informative!

    I love this podcast!! I started listening when I was new to running (been eating a plant based diet for much longer than I’ve been running) and I always find it very interesting! Coach Claire has a very good voice and precise way of speaking and conveying information! I just wish the episodes were longer so they didn’t stop halfway through my runs! And I wish she had more episodes about plant based nutrition—I feel like she never talks about it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are Free AI Running Coaching Plans Actually Good or Evil? Matt Chittim
Q: What makes a good coach in an era of AI, and how should athletes use AI without losing the human element?
A good coach will leverage AI for planning and data processing while maintaining proactive, empathetic engagement, asking the right questions, and providing motivation and context that AI cannot replicate. Athletes should use AI to inform and structure training, not to replace the human relationship entirely.
Are Free AI Running Coaching Plans Actually Good or Evil? Matt Chittim
Q: Where do you think run coaching is going with AI, and have you seen its effects in your work?
AI will fill the gap for those who can't access or afford a private coach, providing a middle ground between free plans and one-on-one coaching. It won't replace human coaches entirely, because people value accountability, personal interaction, and nuanced guidance, but it will shift how plans are delivered and how coaches partner with clients.
How To Prep For Sydney and Chicago in Steamy Singapore
Q: What is the best way to handle pre-race anxiety and race-day nerves?
Avoid forcing sleep the night before; prioritize a strong-week routine and a calm warm-up playlist to reduce nervous system arousal, and reframe anxiety as excitement to leverage it as a stimulus for performance.
How To Prep For Sydney and Chicago in Steamy Singapore
Q: Is six weeks enough recovery to do back-to-back marathons, and how should we approach tuning the plan for Sydney and Chicago?
Sydney should be the primary focus with Chicago as a backup; recoveries are possible but require careful pacing and option to treat Chicago as a secondary target if Sydney goes well. Use tune-up races strategically to test fitness 12-14 weeks out and again 4-6 weeks out, with the second option serving as a pace rehearsal or harder effort depending on how Sydney unfolds.
How to Have a Delicious and Stress-Free Plant-Based Thanksgiving (Encore Run)
Q: How can someone struggling with being plant-based get back on track?
Identify the root cause of their struggle and challenge them to create a fun plant-based meal with support.
