We all expect the heat to make us uncomfortable. We expect to sweat more and slow down. What catches runners off guard is how quickly a few slower splits can make them question months of good training.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why summer changes the way you should read your watch.
How to adjust your training without second-guessing your fitness.
What runners should pay attention to when the weather refuses to cooperate.

If you’re getting far too stressed about summer running and need an actionable way to change your perspective, I’ve made something just for you.

It’s called the Readiness Reset and you can get it for free right now. It's a 7-minute audio that combines guided visualization with cognitive conditioning, designed to train the exact response you need when running gets hard. Get access to it for free right now theplantedrunner.com/reset

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is why we run

I’m not sure what or why it is, but after many years of running and 100s of (other) podcasts listened to, The Planted Runner appeared in my life and it’s like I’m “born again” with Claire’s insights, manner and vibes. Her most informative shows have a freshness, and a connection, to my running/training experiences that quite simply I’m not finding elsewhere. I highly recommend giving The Planted Runner a listen.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. It’s interesting and informative. I’m a new runner and follow a predominantly plant-based diet so it’s a perfect fit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love listening

New listener, long time follower on Instagram. I listened to the PR Training lab for a half marathon. It’s very easy to listen to and such helpful information for experienced runners to new runners.
