Vince, a Master ChiRunning®/ChiWalking® Instructor, owner and leader of ChiLiving/ChiRunning/ChiWalking, was personally trained by Danny Dreyer, the founder of these two revolutionary techniques and Chris Griffin a Master ChiRunning®/ChiWalking® Instructor. Prior to Chi Running, Vince’s running was tempered with exhaustive effort, injury, and pain.  Since training with Danny and Chris, Vince now runs with greater ease, less effort, no injuries, better results and NO need for recovery.

An avid runner for over 40 years, ChiRunning is making possible Vince’s goal of completing a marathon in each state and on each continent. ChiRunning has taken Vince across the finish line of the Chattanooga, Louisville and New York City Ironman events.

Memorable runs have taken him alongside the Royal Palace in Tokyo, around Lake Tahoe, and on the original marathon course in Athens Greece. He has completed countless 5ks, 10Ks and half marathons along with 61 marathons and three Ultras.

Since become certified in 2005 and achieving the teaching qualification of Master instructor in 2009. Vince has enjoyed sharing the process oriented practices of ChiRunning and ChiWalking to all ability levels. There is no greater feeling than reintroducing adults back to a sport that they enjoyed, in their youth.

Vince works with all ability level athletes and non-athletes. Vince lives in New Hampshire and travels throughout the United States teaching workshops. If you have a group interested in learning ChiRunning and/or ChiWalking give him a call. Vince also offers coaching to individuals and small groups.

“I cannot recommend Vince Vaccaro enough. Whether you’re a beginner runner or a seasoned veteran, he teaches you how to move farther and faster with less effort by focusing on relaxation and using gravity to your advantage. Every session, he analyzed video of my form frame-by-frame. Vince is incredibly detail-oriented, catching minor technique flaws that make a big difference.

While increasing mileage typically increases the risk of overtraining, Vince’s coaching actually decreases wear and tear. His methods prevent injuries better than anything I’ve seen; despite significantly increasing my mileage, I stayed completely injury-free because his corrections removed stress from my knees and back. Beyond running coaching, he provided complete programming and even helped me select the right running shoes and work boots.

As a police officer, I use his training daily to stay alive and get home to my family. Operating with 30 pounds of gear puts me at an automatic disadvantage during foot pursuits. Vince’s techniques make all the difference, allowing me to catch suspects when they would otherwise escape. More important, I’m less fatigued when making an arrest, which keeps me safer.

During an airport arrest, my partners and I had to run over half a mile across the terminal to reach a suspect before he left the airport. Thanks to Vince, I reached him effortlessly. While my younger, smaller coworkers arrived huffing and puffing, I was breathing normally during the arrest and able to quickly control the situation.

Don’t overlook his walking coaching, either. I use his walking techniques every shift to cover long distances without fatigue. If you want to optimize your movement, prevent injuries, and stay sharp when it really matters, Vince is the coach for you.”
