The Planted Runner: Plant-Based Nutrition for Running at Your Best (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781782552468)

Claire Bartholic began running in her mid-30s simply to get in shape. Already eating a plant-based diet, she finished her first marathon at age 38 in a respectable 4:02 and was immediately hooked on running. With dedicated coaching and training, she successfully lowered her marathon PR to 2:58, without injury and entirely plant based. She is a multiple-time Boston Marathon qualifier, state Master's Marathon Champion, and competitive master's athlete.

As a certified coach and certified sports nutrition specialist, Claire has led hundreds of athletes to reach their best performances through science-based training, nutrition, and mindset programs. She is also the host of two popular running podcasts, The Run to the Top and The Planted Runner. She currently resides with her family in Asheville, North Carolina.
