Running Faster, Longer, and Pain-free with ChiRunning
I am 51 and have been running since I was 21. In the last years, I have had repeated discomfort while running, mainly with my Achilles tendon getting swollen and my Sciatic nerve becoming problematic after 30 minutes run. When I learned about ChiRunning, I found the philosophy and the technique very interesting and intelligent. […]
Running Freely Like a 7-Year Old Again with ChiRunning
About three weeks ago I had a very strong memory of what it felt like to run when I was 7. The freedom, the exhilaration, the laughter. What happened in the intervening 41 years? Since starting the ChiRunning School, I no longer suffer from knee pain, and I run like a kid again all thanks […]
Running Is No Longer a Chore, But a Pleasure!
When I started running at age 25, it took me a year to get to a mile! Side stitches, shin splints, etc. etc. But then I kept with it because well, it’s the best way to burn a pack of calories, and it would be years before I discovered inline skating, my first love! I […]
Running Like a Kid Again
About three weeks ago I had a very strong memory of what it felt like to run when I was a seven-year-old. The freedom, the exhilaration, the laughter. What happened in the intervening 41 years? Well last weekend I found out how to run like a kid again, all thanks to Danny. I worked with […]
Running Made Effortless!
I wanted to reach out to Danny to let him know that I had read his books, was a gold member with the online classes and attended a training class in NYC back in April 2018. I had intended on running the marathon the following November (2018) but a scheduling conflict gave me an excuse […]
Running on Air No More Ankle Problems
I was a traditional runner most of my adult life, but eventually I wore out my ankles from poor posture and the punishment of daily runs in New York City’s Central Park. I should have known better. I ignored the throbbing in my right ankle, figuring the pain was another sign of aging. After a […]
Running Pain-Free Half Marathons with ChiRunning
I’ve been running for about three years now. In 2012 I was inspired by a friend to run longer distances. This was quite the challenge for me as I was never in my life a runner, and suffered from seasonal asthma and weight issues as a child. The weight issue actually was conquered years before […]

Congratulations for your amazing website from Germany. Thank you for your great work. I learned a lot, and now I run without pain in my feet. And, in the last five years, I’ve gotten faster and with more pleasure. Have a good time and stay healthy! Angela B
Running Pain-Free Ultras With Chi
Danny, I like this picture because it shows Pat (70) and myself (72) just after we finished a 50 Mile Run/Bike Relay for the fourth time as members of a 6 person team – you are either running or biking the entire 50 miles. This is part of a 200 Mile annual relay, run by […]
Running Pain-Free With Ankylosing Spondylitis Thanks to Chi Technique
Thank you for creating ChiRunning. About a year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)… it’s a type of spinal arthritis, more like rheumatoid, where your body attacks itself, affecting mainly the sacroiliac joints and the joints in the spine. As a 27 year old male, it was devastating. I had […]
