Jennifer has lost nearly 50 pounds and her goal is 2:15 in the Air Force Half.  Can she be ready?

Welcome to the PR Training Lab!  Go behind the scenes with me as I create a custom training plan for one lucky runner.

In this episode, we feature Jennifer:

🏃🏽‍♀️46 years old

🏃🏿lost nearly 50 pounds in the last 18 months

🏃🏼‍♀️runs or strength trains every day, but says she cuts back when she needs to

Learn how I create a custom half marathon training plan for this runner who keeps improving!

Follow along with the questions I ask each runner:

1.  What is your goal?

2.  How long have you been running regularly?

3.  Do you have any current or recurring injuries?  

4.  What are your RECENT (past 6-12 months) race times and distances?  If you have not raced recently, but have in the past, please estimate your race fitness.  If you have never raced, or not in a very long time, please estimate how fast you could run 1 mile (1.6km) as fast as possible.

5.  How many miles or kilometers per week do you typically run (do not include race weeks or taper weeks)?

6.  What is the highest amount of weekly mileage you've ever run and how long ago was that?

7.  How long is your average/most recent long run?

8.  What pace would you say is a very easy effort, relaxed pace for an average run?  This is a pace so slow that you could talk the entire time almost as easily as walking.

9. When do you want to run and rest?

10. What are your favorite and least favorite  kinds of running workouts?

11.  Do you strength train and/or cross train?

12. What do you struggle with?

RECENT REVIEWS:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is why we run

I’m not sure what or why it is, but after many years of running and 100s of (other) podcasts listened to, The Planted Runner appeared in my life and it’s like I’m “born again” with Claire’s insights, manner and vibes. Her most informative shows have a freshness, and a connection, to my running/training experiences that quite simply I’m not finding elsewhere. I highly recommend giving The Planted Runner a listen.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐Informative and fun

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. It’s interesting and informative. I’m a new runner and follow a predominantly plant-based diet so it’s a perfect fit.

New listener, long time follower on Instagram. I listened to the PR Training lab for a half marathon. It’s very easy to listen to and such helpful information for experienced runners to new runners.
