When that one missed day turns into days, which turn into weeks or god forbid months, the natural reaction of any runner is, “I’m going to lose all my fitness!”

But is that actually true?

Let’s find out.

In this episode, we’ll explore just how much running fitness you will lose when you take time off.

You’ll learn:

What’s happening to your lungs and your legs with days or weeks off.
How you can mitigate this if you can’t run, and
How much time you can expect it will take to get your fitness back after a break

If you’ve ever had the fear that all your hard work will disappear if you are forced to take a running break, this is the episode for you. And don’t forget your running buddies! If you know another runner that’s worried about this too, be sure to share the show with them.

Welcome to the Planted Runner. I’m Coach Claire Bartholic and my mission is to help you improve your running, your mindset, and your life with science-backed training and plant-based nutrition.

If you need more help, you can order my book The Planted Runner: Running Your Best With Plant-Based Nutrition wherever you get books or request a copy from your local library.

Don’t forget to stay tuned all the way to the end of the episode for another Mental Strength Minute. Fortify your mind in 60 seconds or less.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great running podcast

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while and even when she was doing another podcast back in the day. Great interviewer and I enjoy taking this along for a run. I can pretty muc say, each episode I learn something or hear something that causes me to think. I would add this to your list if you are looking to grow as a runner.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A highlight of my week

It is a gift to be able to have a space for plant-based runners to learn! Claire’s advice is always solid and not just limited to the plant-based, but doesn’t include fueling your runs with unhealthy foods, which seems to happen on other podcasts. Thank you!
