Mitch Sep 2012 11:46am, 5 Sep 2012 970 posts	0 Mitch Good Morning:-) I've been neglecting my Fetch duties but school's back and life will slowly return to some kind of normal! Good to see Hodders hasn't changed.... ChrisHB, I am always available for you;-) My own running is going really well, thanks for asking. Training to heart rate these days and loving it. fraserfish, It does indeed take time to put it into practise and as you found, stopping during a run to reset is a good idea. You will lose your alignment and the various focuses so until you are able to make those adjustments on the run, stop, re-align, lean (not too much!) from the ankles and go again. I suggest you work off one focus at a time and remember to put form first before distance. Ideally only run for as long as you feel you can hold your form. How is everyone doing?

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.
