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 […]
Pain-Free 60k: During and After
My running has changed forever after the week-long workshop I had with Danny at Omega Institute a few years ago. I had run a 50k in the woods and hills and could barely walk afterward. Prior to my next ultra, a 60k, I attended the workshop with Danny at Omega. My running, but more valuable, […]
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 […]
ChiRunner Experiences Truly Effortless Running
I wanted to share an experience that I recently had while running that I thought you might enjoy. I was in the later miles of the run and was feeling a little tired. I found myself having to be more cognizant of my posture and then I took some breaths and connected inwards to Chi. […]
First Marathon was Amazing
I just finished my first marathon using the ChiRunning technique. I’m on Celebrex due to an IT injury and your program is so true!! I’m not fast, just consistent, and remembered all my focus points and leaning techniques. It was amazing and really, really helped. My feet ached a bit but did not hurt! Thanks! […]

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. […]
