Jocelyn Benson just might be wired differently.
She’s run around 40 marathons with no specific training, very few rest days, mainly just for fun. She even ran Boston 8 months pregnant.
And oh yeah, she also happens to be the Michigan Secretary of State.
How and why does Jocelyn Benson train the way she does with such a high-profile career?
Let’s find out.
We talk about:
How running came into her life and why she still does it,
How and why she chose to run the Boston Marathon 8 months pregnant, and
Why she shows up at local 5ks to run and talk with everyday people about the big problems to solve
If you’re worried this episode might get political, no need. We stick to running, but no matter what your personal views are, I’m convinced you will find Jocelyn to be inspiring.
And of course, don’t forget to stay tuned all the way to the end of the conversation for another Mental Strength Minute. Fortify your mind in 60 seconds or less.

Finally…
Thank you Coach Claire! As a 40 year old mom of two young kids and a plant-based runner, your advice hit it right on the nail for me. I’ve struggled with running and injuries for so many years and now starting to learn, run slow to run fast. It’s a concept that is hard to accept but your podcasts keep it a constant reminder for me. Each episode is the perfect amount of time for a busy mom. Thank you for the advice and support to keep on track!
One of my go to running podcasts
I’ve been listening for a while and have used tips from episodes along with her email messages. As a newer distance runner, I appreciate all the information regarding pacing and the importance of strength training. Especially since I am scheduled to run my 4th marathon in October. I look forward to future episodes.
Great advice and easy to listen to
“I was searching for a new running podcast and gave The Planted Runner a try. Wasn’t sure if it would be for vegan runners or exactly how it might connect with me. I loved it! Coach Claire Bartholic’s voice and background music are very easy to listen to. I especially liked her thoughts about result based goals vs process goals. Definitely adding this to my weekly playlist! Highly recommended.”
