Love Running Forever

ChiRunning is the world’s leader in teaching a safe, efficient, and natural running technique aimed to reduce injury and improve personal performance

Our mission is twofold: to help you run as efficiently and injury-free as possible. These two skills will make your running a joyful and successful practice and are based on the movement principles of T’ai Chi.

Running doesn’t need to be difficult or hard on the body. The problem isn’t running, it’s the way you run.

Embrace the movement principles as they are intended by nature

Connect your mind and body to experience a holistic practice

Protect your joints and run safely by minimizing impact and overuse

Create easy, fluid and faster running by learning proper mechanics

start your journey

ChiRunning is based on a centuries-old principle from T’ai Chi: shift your workload to the core muscles. Your efficiency comes from allowing gravity to assist your propulsion, taking the workload off your legs and letting you run lightly and swiftly like you did as a youngster.

Getting Started

Focus your mind. Strengthen your core. Run like the wind. Learn to reduce and prevent injuries, while reducing recovery time, with our T’ai Chi-based technique.

Training

If you want to run your first 5K or get a personal best at a marathon, the best place to begin is with good running technique. Distance, conditioning and speed then come with ease.
