Chi Walked a Marathon!
Yesterday I finished my first marathon! I accomplished this using the ChiWalking technique, with a few ChiRunning moments thrown in for good measure. The focuses helped me get through the tough parts, and when I got to the last few miles and I was exhausted, each step was a reminder to perfect my form, breathe […]
Beginner Runner Stays Pain-Free With ChiRunning
I just wanted to thank you for this book. If it wasn’t for this book I wouldn’t be where I am today in my running! I would have never considered myself a runner (or even wanting to be a runner) back in May of this year. I decided it was time for a lifestyle change […]
Amazing Stroke Recovery with ChiWalking
I want to thank you for your ChiWalking book !!!!! A stroke left me with limited balance and some weakness in my right side. I spent about three years depending on a cane and walker. People now say that they have never seen me look better. I am walking about 2 miles twice a day […]

After 21 Years as a Sports Podiatrist
After 21 years as a Sports Podiatrist specializing in running injuries and thousands of exams a year, I thought I had seen it all. Then a patient came in who, after taking a ChiRunning class, looked like a different runner – an amazing improvement. It was obvious his impact forces were minimized. Since then I […]
Letter to an Instructor Set a New PR After ChiRunning
Hi Mary, I ran a half marathon yesterday in 1:38:16 which is 40 seconds off my PR! I ran the whole thing focusing on what we discussed in the class. I’m not perfect, but I had a number of friends who commented after the race that I had an extra set of gears on the […]
Pain-Free Training
Your half marathon training program has been so fulfilling for me. Although I came into the program three weeks late and missed two weeks due to illness, I still learned so much and met some wonderful, inspiring runners. My hip would start bothering me at around five miles into a run, but after practicing the […]
Praise for a ChiRunning Instructor
I just wanted to commend your ChiRunning instructor in the UK (for the North of England and Scotland) Nick Constantine (www.soulinmotion.co.uk). I attended a workshop on Saturday, April 9, 2011 in Edinburgh – he was very positive, structured, hands on, clear and precise, provided follow up notes, video analysis (and a video after the session […]
Private Session with Danny Dreyer is ‘Preventative Medicine’
Dear Danny, I just want to thank you for an incredible ChiRunning workshop this past weekend in Portland. I’m so grateful that you were able to discover this more natural and centered way to run, and generously share it with others. The (shared) private session was also incredibly valuable to me as “preventative medicine”, which […]
Putting My Entire Life Experience on a Higher Level
Danny, I attended your workshop in Asheville last October shortly after returning from Iraq. I am currently attending command and general staff college in Ft. Leavenworth, KS. I wrote a leadership essay about my ChiRunning experience. Below is the relevant portion: I hated COL Weiss. I was in constant pain, and I felt humiliated. But […]
