You’ve already made two of the best decisions of your life as a plant-based runner. Now it’s time to get better at both every week. I’m Coach Claire Bartholic, and I went from not running at all to finishing a marathon in 2:58 at age 42, all on a plant-based diet. I’ve coached hundreds of vegan, vegetarian, and plant-curious runners of all ages and abilities with science-backed training, plant-based nutrition, and proven mental strength techniques. Whether you are training for your first 5k or your 50th marathon, you can start exactly where you are right now, and get better today.

Welcome to the PR Training Lab! Go behind the scenes with me as I create a custom training plan for one lucky runner.
In this episode, we feature Laura:
🏃🏽♀️47 years old
🏃🏿needs a plan for the 2 months before marathon training
🏃🏼♀️wants to get stronger and faster
Learn how I create a custom pre-marathon training plan for Laura.
Follow along with the questions I ask each runner:
1. What is your goal?
2. How long have you been running regularly?
3. Do you have any current or recurring injuries?
4. What are your RECENT (past 6-12 months) race times and distances? If you have not raced recently, but have in the past, please estimate your race fitness. If you have never raced, or not in a very long time, please estimate how fast you could run 1 mile (1.6km) as fast as possible.
5. How many miles or kilometers per week do you typically run (do not include race weeks or taper weeks)?
6. What is the highest amount of weekly mileage you've ever run and how long ago was that?
7. How long is your average/most recent long run?
8. What pace would you say is a very easy effort, relaxed pace for an average run? This is a pace so slow that you could talk the entire time almost as easily as walking.
9. When do you want to run and rest?
10. What are your favorite and least favorite kinds of running workouts?
11. Do you strength train and/or cross train?
12. What do you struggle with?
