The Planted Runner

With The Planted Runner, runners will learn to optimize fuel training with plant-based nutrition, harness the power of their minds, and perform at their best while discovering the joy of running at any age. Plant-based nutrition is no longer a fad, but rather has been shown to optimize athletic performance and reduce recovery time. Fueling with the power of plants is not only a suitable eating plan for training, but it is also delicious and satisfying. Author Claire Bartholic breaks down the information to provide complete understanding of how to eat not only to fuel running, but also to enjoy eating. Readers will find a chapter devoted entirely to the basic ingredients and building blocks of a plant-based diet, rounded out with runner-specific fueling recipes that are good for before, during, and after the run. Successful training requires more than just good plans and nutrition, however. Without addressing the mental side of training, results will be limited. With the proven mindset training techniques provided in this book, the runner will quiet that negative self-talk which can sabotage the best efforts. With those doubts silenced, every runner can find his or her potential. Through her coaching, Claire Bartholic has found the best way to successfully integrate those three critical elements--physical training, plant-based fueling, and mindset techniques--to help hundreds of runners reach their personal bests, and she provides her wealth of knowledge in this book.
