RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Game changer.

I got into running late; coming up on 7 years ago at the age of 41. I have been steadily making progress. My speeds have gradually increased, and I have just run my 6th marathon. NOTHING has helped me more with my progress than Coach Claire’s tips. I have been using her tips one by one, with each marathon. I went from a 4:52 marathon at the age of 45 in June 2021, to a 4:15 marathon at the age of 48 in May 2024. Hoping to break 4:00 this year in October for my 49th birthday. I just bought her book and I love it. I love this podcast. I can’t imagine the possibilities if I had her as an actual coach. Thanks Coach Claire!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Practical and pragmatic

Lots of terrific ideas across every facet of running. Very practical and real-life scenarios. Terrific advice for everyone - not just solely plant-based runners.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5 stars

Coach Claire’s podcast is fantastic! I enjoy her insight, tips, ideas and of course the mental strength minute on each show. I have recently started using her YouTube videos recently for my workouts also. PRs here I come!?
