ChiRunning Half Day Workshop

This workshop will teach you how to run with more ease and energy and prevent injury and give you lots of tips so that you can improve and enjoy your running more. Discover how efficient running technique affords less stress on your body and requires less effort. You will be guided through many exercises and drills designed to leave you with a clear sense of what the ChiRunning technique feels like in your body. You’ll enjoy a rich learning experience, get lots of personal attention and have fun.
We will not be doing lots of running (contrary to what you might imagine), so no matter what condition you are in, have no fear. This class is for anyone – beginners who want to start off “right”, seasoned runners who want to increase distance or speed, triathletes looking to improve the run portion, or if you’re just tired of being injured. We will spend time alternating between demonstrations, fun exercises and technique drills … the nature of the day will be relaxed, fun and inspiring.
Here’s a sampling of what you will learn:
• How to develop and practice good posture all day long
• How to move from your center (dantien) as in T’ai Chi
• How to avoid common form-related running injuries
• How to save energy and reduce dependence on leg strength
• How to make efficient use of upper body and arms
• How to use cadence to increase efficiency and reduce effort
• How to use gears for efficient stride length and speed
• How to relax and conserve energy at any speed
• Video analysis available for additional fee

Class will be limited to 8 participants to allow for individual instruction.
Notes to participants: We will have a combo of indoor and outdoor time, so please bring appropriate clothing (layers). Feel free to bring water, light lunch and/or a snack.
