I have decided that I do not wish to be known as that bloke that use to run.
The ankle has been behaving so it is tie to start planning for winter.
Nothing silly but hoping to see about 20 miles a week including a 10 miler and a little speedwork. The target is getting my 5km back to something respectable.
Chi wise - all my running is about staying relaxed and focussing on posture. I have never made it any more complicated than that.
SD, Sounds like you are very new to Chi Running and Chi Running is best learnt on the flat. It's pretty difficult to keep your form going uphill if you have not mastered the basics of the technique. If possible work on your form on the flat and save the hills for later:-)
Goofee, Good to hear.
Gobi, So happy to read that. I told you it was only a matter of time;-)
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.
