Enlightened by Omega Workshop and the Mechanics of ChiRunning
My wife and I attended the Omega Chi 2010 workshop in July for my 50th birthday. What more joy can there be than to eat wholesome food, run, be in an area of positive energies, wonderful company and have sound rest! I had participated in a one day workshop several years back, so this was […]
Best PR with ChiRunning!
I just wanted to let you know what a difference your ChiRunning book has made in my running. I’m 47, and it has been a goal of mine to break the 3 hour marathon barrier for a number of years. Up to this point, my best marathon time was a 3:01:50 in Big Sur 2002 […]
Certified Instructor Wins First Place!
Hi Kathy and Nicole, Danny called me in July regarding assisting with a workshop. He told me that I needed to be able to run about a 10K and at that time I couldn’t run more than 3 miles so I missed that opportunity. By September, Jeff and I ran 13.1 miles in the Salt […]
Former Instructor Learns the Value of Technique at Boston and Becomes 2011 Senior Games Champion
Hi Danny, I hope all is well with you and the family and the bigger ChiLiving family in general. While I’ve put my official ChiRunning instruction on hold for a bit, I’m writing to give you a brief update on what I’ve been doing in an eventful 2011 as I’ve learned a few lessons. I […]
From 3 Painful Miles to Confident Half Marathons With ChiRunning
Thanks so much for creating ChiRunning. After reading “Born to Run” in late 2009 I went out and got the ChiRunning book and really connected with the concept. I went from running 3 miles in pain to confident half marathons in about 6 months. The DVD has really helped, as have the metronome and other […]
Given The Gift of Running With ChiRunning
I stopped running at the age of 35 because of pain in my knees and hips. Six months ago at the age of 54, I read ChiRunning and change the mechanics of my stride. This past weekend, I completed in my first marathon in 3 hours and 46 minutes. Two days after the marathon, I […]
Gliding Forward With the Help of a Metronome
You may not remember me from your workshop in Austin. I was the older woman who struggled behind everyone else and spent much of the afternoon weeping. I had a terrible weakness in one knee and could not keep up, and I’m sure you felt like the workshop was a waste of time for me. […]
Grateful for ChiWalking in New Zealand
Hi, I learned ChiWalking in New Zealand this year. I had two very friendly instructors (Mary Lindahl and Loreen Ozolins). They were full of enthusiasm to show me how to walk injury free. I enjoyed this workshop very much. For two years I have always had pain when I was walking – the worst was […]
Great Accomplishments With ChiRunning
I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but I bet you never get tired hearing it…ChiRunning changed my life! Having never been very athletic, I decided to take up running at age 38. I have never been overweight and was relatively fit. But I was not in the best aerobic shape; I couldn’t run for more […]
Great Results From Chi Week and Metronome
Frank and I attended the week long ChiRunning program in June. We have been diligently practicing our ChiRunning form and are loving it. Frank just ran a tough half at 1:40:44 almost effortlessly. My time wasn’t as good but I did finish over 20 minutes ahead of the 2nd place finisher in my age division. […]
