ChiRunning the Golden Gate Half
This [race] was the best. It was a hard run, but I did finish in 3hours and 12 minutes. Lots of steep uphills in the Presidio. The downhills were a blast, thanks to ChiRunning! I was able to pass a lot of runners due to technique. Weather was gorgeous–in the 70s–with a cross wind from […]
A Chi Running Believer
Let me provide a little back-story. In a matter of twelve months spanning 2004-2005, I started a new career, bought a house, and became a father. All that new stress not only added 25 lbs to my normally fit physique, but I felt it take a toll on my mental well being. I had run […]
Chi Running after Torn Miniscus
In 2008, I tore my right meniscus, a small ligament on the left side of the knee. I was 56 at the time. I simply over-trained one day and ran too far for the condition I was in and tore it, that injury shut down my running almost completely. I could still manage a half […]
Finding Gratitude in Running
I have to make a confession. I haven’t been a really happy or motivated runner for months. I think being the goal-driven personality type that I am (I like to think of myself as a reforming “type A”), I’ve been gradually wearing down with all the big events and PR oriented training (since Nov. 2007 […]
My ChiRunning Story Cat T
After having a transformative experience with ChiRunning, Cat Townsend felt compelled to create this wonderful, inspirational video. She worked closely with Gray Caws, a Senior Instructor and Regional Director of the UK ChiRunning, and gradually got faster, more efficient, and began to truly enjoy running. This is such a beautiful story – please feel free […]
Loved Your Workshop
Hi Danny, Loved your clinic and was pleased with all the other coaches you had helping too since I know you couldn’t get around to everyone at the same time. There was always someone close by I could ask for help or instruction if you weren’t there. Thanks to you and your staff for such […]
Triathlete & Adventurer
Katherine, I ran 2 miles this morning and my PEL (Perceived Effort Level) is so low compared to before I learned ChiRunning. Late in my run I was breathing totally through my nose at times, with mouth closed, and I was getting plenty of O2! Very comfortable feeling. Today, I kept in mind your advice […]
Barefoot Chi Runner
Thanks. I’ve had phenomenal results so far with using ideas from Born To Run…and then from ChiRunning. I should have read ChiRunning first. I started getting my feet tuned up in Feb after discovering Born to Run…then advanced a bit too quick with barefoot running. The upside to that was I realized barefoot was not […]
Chicago Marathon Expo
Hi Chi Runners, Here’s a picture of my sister, Joyce Elliott, and my niece, Jennie Collins, with Danny at the Chicago Expo. They both set PR’s (Jennie took 26 minutes off her time and finished in 3:45 and Joyce took 6 minutes off her time in her 2nd marathon and finished in 4:48.) Joyce attended […]
Marine Corps Marathon
Hey folks: I am now in my mid-thirties. I have enjoyed running over the years, but stopped a few years ago because of concerns about injuries. Then, after hearing a radio spot on NPR about your method, I read your book and decided to start running again. With a heavy dose of encouragement and support […]
