How Your Running Quietly Soothes Your Soul In These Troubled Times

We all know that running is good for our mental health. But it’s also good for our spiritual health as well.
Can you transform your running into something even more meaningful, even if you’re not religious?
On today’s show, we’re going to have a conversation with runner and Anglican priest, Martha Tartarnic.
We’ll cover:

How running can transform from a punishment to a source of deep meaning

How reflection while running can make you better at your job and a better parent, and

How you can use spiritual concepts to quiet negative thoughts and keep your head calm when running hard.


This conversation is a little different and more reflective than most of the topics that I cover on this show, and if you like it, let me know with an email to claire@theplantedrunner.com.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The Best Running Podcast on the Planet
“If you are a runner and especially a plant-based athlete, the planted runner offers information that is science-based, practical and inspirational. Topics run the gamut from running form to endurance to injury prevention to plant-based nutrition made simple. Claire is a tremendously talented interviewer, likely because she is so very experienced herself. The guests are knowledgeable and clearly dedicated to passing their insights onto others. The podcast is a welcome companion on training runs as often as new podcasts are available. I also find myself returning to certain ones to glean every bit of information out of it I can. Thanks, Claire.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great advice and easy to listen to
“I was searching for a new running podcast and gave The Planted Runner a try. Wasn’t sure if it would be for vegan runners or exactly how it might connect with me. I loved it! Coach Claire Bartholic’s voice and background music are very easy to listen to. I especially liked her thoughts about result based goals vs process goals. Definitely adding this to my weekly playlist! Highly recommended.”
