Fall Marathon Training is Here. Avoid This Common Mistake Now
If you’re a marathoner training for a fall race and you’re running goal marathon paced workouts in July, you’re doing it wrong.
Let’s explore a better way.
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about race-specific workouts from the 5k to the marathon. We’ll go over:
Why the timing of race-specific workouts matters
Why and how to plan workouts that focus on overall fitness instead, and
When to narrow your focus so you peak exactly on race day
I’ll also give you some examples of my favorite race-specific workouts for each distance.
This is a topic that will probably bust a lot of common myths out there. Whether you are brand-new to racing or you’re a veteran runner looking for ways to sharpen up your fitness at exactly the right time, this is the episode for you and your running buddies. So share it with them..

RECENT REVIEWS:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Podcast Par Excellence
Coach Claire is a joy to listen to if you are a dedicated runner. Her science backed knowledge, plant based expertise, and proven mindset tips are a game changer when running down your goals. I love her personal style and sincerity. Claire is an exceptional interviewer.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The best podcast for running and also the best podcast for plant…
I really look forward to this podcast every week! It was one of the first podcasts I found when I started running and was looking for advice and it’s still my favorite one. Claire gives concise, helpful advice for all levels of running and also great nutrition tips.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐So positive and helpful! 😍
Love this podcast and all the topics! Been listening for probably 2 years now and Claire is an amazing host. I appreciate how she keeps episodes concise with the occasional longer episode with a guest. As a vegan, I totally dig the plant-based info, but that is not the basis of most episodes–running is. All the episodes I’ve listened to are encouraging and so positive.
