XB Aug 2012 8:57pm, 11 Aug 2012 2,610 posts	0 XB My feet are so fecked, according to my physio, that I can't wear anything flatter than my f-lites. That'll do me. They are wonderful shoes. Meanwhile, in other news, I'm seriously thinking about having a Chi Instructor course for my 50th birthday. I'll have to wait for a European event though.

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone

Chi Running is a running technique which was developed by Danny Dreyer an ultra marathon runner who is a long time runner and student of T’ai Chi. The two main themes are energy efficiency and injury prevention. It combines the central movement principles of T’ai Chi with the sport of running to create a technique that shifts the workload toward your core muscles, allowing your leg muscles to work less. The results are increased efficiency and a significant reduction in injuries.
