Episode Notes

Do you have Marathon Face?

Running can affect your skin and hair making you look older than you really are.  But there are ways to make sure you are not sacrificing great skin and hair for your running PRs.

You’ll learn:

  • Why we chafe and how to prevent it

  • How running can prematurely age your skin, and

  • How to protect your hair from damage caused directly or indirectly from running.

This is a topic that’s not really discussed too much in the running world, so you might not even realize that running is making your skin and hair look older than you actually are.

I’ll also go into what I do personally to age well and look my best, in case you’re interested.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love love this show and Claire

I’ve been listening to Claire’s voice and advice since “Run to the Top.” Starting my run with that familiar voice, puts my mind at ease.  This is not just another run podcast. It has so much useful advice across the board.  Claire was my first run coach.  I was in the first run team she had. I recommend that to any runner.  She makes you feel heard.  I’m an ultra runner mainly now, but I’m still listening, because her advice works on the trail too.  Keep going girl!
