Running the Broken Toe 50K After a Stress Fracture Recovery
I want to thank Danny Dreyer for ChiRunning and all that’s followed. I’ve read his book cover to cover 3 times and it’s about time to read it again. Back in early June, I ran my first 50K event, only to find out later that my body sensing, ego monitoring, general awareness, etc were not […]
Running With Metronome Improved My Performance
Hello, I am a 72 year old male and have been running since early 2001 when I started training with the Team-In-Training Group for the Marine Corps Marathon. My wife and daughter talked me into it and I’ve never stopped running. We just finished our 4th annual ultra on June 3. It is called Tom’s […]
Running With Son Because of ChiRunning!
It’s now four weeks after the NYC ChiRunning workshop, and I’m thrilled with the results, and so glad I was able to do it. I took the course because I wanted to get back to running after several years off, having felt my body could not tolerate running any more for a variety of reasons. […]
Setting New Personal Records With ChiRunning!
I decided to take the ChiRunning workshop after reading “Born to Run,” including Danny Dreyer’s forward. Having transitioned to Vibram 5-finger minimalist shoes, doing copious amounts of yoga and altering my diet, I needed to take the next step to get the results I wanted. At the age of 39 and weighing 198 lbs. (Clydesdale), […]
Setting PR’s Injury Free
I started running only 2 years ago and decided to train for a marathon that first year. I was very happy I managed to complete it but I did pick up a couple of minor injuries along the way. It was not long afterwards that I discovered ChiRunning and being a long time tai chi […]
Sharing the ChiRunning Buzz!
Hi Katherine, Your recent article on per-form-ance is very important to me. Your last paragraph suggests the greatest truth: Running is not about competition with others or yourself, rather running is to serve the purpose of helping us each to fulfill our calling in life. Years ago my wife, Dana, gave me your book, and […]
Shaved 20 Minutes Off Run!
I just wanted to share with you how my first run with the metronome went! Wow, what insight into cadence and lean! Initially, I could not even get into the 180 cadence. And running up trails is not the way to experience the metronome and how lean affects stride length and cadence! So, I turned […]
Spreading ChiRunning to Mexico
I’m 42 years old and live in Monterrey, Mexico. I heard of ChiRunning from a friend of mine (living in Atlanta) who recommended the book (English version). It was in October of 2010 when I started to read the ChiRunning book and I rapidly bought the idea. I’ve always thought that technique was very important […]
Success with the ChiRunning Audio Program
I want to share my joy at being able to run nearly 10 miles today. This is the farthest I’ve ever run at one time in my life, and I feel great. After taking the ChiRunning course at Kripalu in May I was thrilled to try out the methods we learned. I purchased the new […]
Successful Recovery from PTSD with ChiRunning
My name is Bill, I am a police officer diagnosed with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) last November. My doctors recognized one of my symptoms as being “avoidance” which is when a person shows a loss of interest in activities and life in general, which eventually can lead to suicidal thoughts and depression. My doctor […]
