Can you get FASTER by running LESS?? This is NOT your clickbaity "smash a marathon PR by only doing 3 runs a week"-style low volume training; coach and elite mountain runner Kim Nedeau is here to talk about how to excel as an endurance runner in a low run volume/high training volume framework.

-What is "low run volume/high training volume" training?

-Who this training framework is best for

-"But isn't more mileage always better?"

-How is this framework different from multisport, i.e. triathlon, training?

Kim Nedeau is a life-long athlete and owner of Training Inclined, a coaching business that serves athletes seeking alternative training methods and injury prevention. She and her husband live in the woods of western Massachusetts where they share their love for endurance sports with their two teenagers and beloved German shorthaired pointer. She ran competitively in high school, at Brown University, and as an open athlete for a few years after college before starting a family. She returned to competitive running and ran some of her best races in her late 30s. Kim found her way to mountain running and was a member of the US Mountain Running team in 2016, where she placed 9th overall, first American, and helped the team win bronze in the World Mountain Running Championships. Kim's return to running involved a diverse approach that included a moderate amount of running, biking and strength, which in total added up to high volume training. This is the approach she now uses in her work with injury-prone athletes, those who want to avoid injury and those interested in longevity in the sport.

Kate takes us through her personal and professional evolution, sharing her early experiences as a runner and the pivotal moment when she was diagnosed with ARVC, a rare genetic heart condition. This diagnosis completely shifted her running journey, forcing her to reevaluate what running meant to her and how it could fit into her life. Along the way, Kate opens up about the emotional and physical hurdles she’s had to overcome—self-blame, identity loss, and adjusting to a new reality with health limitations. It’s a deeply personal episode that sheds light on the complexities of running with health challenges and how mental health plays a crucial role in recovery. But it’s not all heavy stuff! Kate also shares the exciting work she’s been doing, including the app she developed to help runners connect with resources and stay supported in their journeys, no matter what stage they’re at.

s4/e17 When Is It Time to STOP Chasing a Goal? with Claire Bartholic @theplantedrunner 1:05:08

hace 46 weeks1:05:08

1:05:08

We are often praised for the relentless pursuit of a goal, but what about when it's actually better for you to STOP chasing that goal? Coach and runner Claire Bartholic (@theplantedrunner) shares her own journey of what it cost her to finally achieve her coveted sub-3 marathon goal... and why she decided to step away from marathons altogether after crossing that finish line. KEY TAKEAWAYS! Chasing big running goals requires dedication, yes, but it's essential to assess whether the goal is realistic and sustainable in the long term Finding balance and enjoyment in running is crucial for long-term fulfillment. Retiring from a specific goal does not diminish a coach's ability to guide and support athletes. It's okay to pivot and pursue different goals that align with personal values and bring joy. Validation from achieving a goal should not be the sole motivation for running; intrinsic satisfaction and personal growth are equally important. -- GUEST BIO Coach Claire has helped hundreds of real runners chase their dreams and conquer what they never thought possible. Her coaching philosophy combines science-based training, plant-based running nutrition, and proven mindset techniques to unlock every runner's true potential. She's a certified running coach, sports nutrition specialist, mom, and borderline obsessive plant lover. As an athlete herself, she went from a 4:02 first marathon all the way to a 2:58 finishing time at the age of 42, entirely plant-based. She coaches vegan, plant-based, and plant-curious runners to achieve the same dramatic success, from those on a walk-run program, general fitness, up to high-level athletes. She hosts one of the most popular running podcast in the world, The Planted Runner , and her first book is The Planted Runner: Running Your Best With Plant-Based Nutrition .…
