At the age of 67, 30 lbs overweight, and not having run for 18 years, I just finished the Twin Cities in Motion 10K, running all the way, after following the ChiRunning Injury-Free 10K Technique-based Training Program.

Hi Laura, I wanted to give you an update from our session. I ran on the road for the first time since August 19 on Saturday. It was a long run and I did all 16 miles on the road, no dirt trails. I figured it was do or die for the ankle with only […]

Life Transformed by ChiRunning

More Speed…With Less Fatigue!

Danny, I went out today and ran 10 miles. Normally I would run 8:25 min. miles for my long training runs. Remarkably, at every mile I was going 7:40 and I wasn’t even tired. The metronome also helped me keep my cadence, and I felt more in tune with how loose my lower legs and […]
