Review

"The most exciting and revolutionary book to hit the running community this decade." -- Toby Tanser, author of Train Hard, Win Easy

"ChiRunning is the solution we've all been looking for to maintain high performance and avoid injury."-- Mark Cucuzzella, M.D., masters winner, 2008 Marine Corps Marathon (2:34)


Product Description

Join the hundreds of thousands of people who are now running without injury or pain using the ChiRunning method. This new edition is fully updated with fresh insights and innovative training techniques from one of the sport's leading voices.

ChiRunning employs the deep power reserves in the core muscles, an approach found in disciplines such as yoga, Pilates, and in this case T'ai Chi.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not Your "Run" of the Mill Running Book, Sep 19 2008
    This review is from: Chi Running: A Revolutionary Approach To Effortless Injury-Free Running (Paperback)
    What an interesting running book! Buy this book if you:

    -would like to be able to run well into your old age
    -would like to improve your running form and have fewer injuries
    -would like to have a more philosophical approach to your running
    -would like to increase your overall health

    Here's how the book roughly pans out:

    -Chapter 1: compares power running to ChiRunning
    -Chapter 2: goes into the 5 principles upon which TaiChi and ChiRunning are based
    -Chapter 3: gets into the "inner" skills of ChiRunning

    As you can see, the first 3 chapters lay out the philosopical foundation- that's so when you get to the specific techniques, they make sense.

    Chaper 4: learn about the ChiRunning "focuses"- which are the specific physical and mental methods used to run more efficiently.

    Chapters 5-9: covers program development, peak performance training and diet. Note: Chapter 7 also covers some info on common injuries such as muscle cramps, plantar fasciitis (also rec. The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution for more info on this), heel cord problems.

    Chapter 10: how to incorporate the ChiRunning principles into your everyday life

    As you can tell, ChiRunning, with its mind-body approach, is far from your typical book on running- and shouldn't be missed by any serious runner. Happy trails.

    5.0 out of 5 stars World of Difference! A Testimonial, Jun 2 2004
    By Timothy Wittman (Guemes Island, Washington) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Chi Running: A Revolutionary Approach To Effortless Injury-Free Running (Paperback)
    I recently purchased the book "Chi-Running" while in Boston to run the marathon. What a difference it has made in my world! Following Boston, I completed the 8 mile run of a team event in our area called "Ski-to-Sea." There are 8 member teams consisting of skiing (cross country & downhill), running,canoeing, biking (road and mountain biking), and kayaking. The run portion is an 8 mile run from the base ski area near the top of Mt. Baker, in Washington state, to the Dept of Transportation center, near the bottom.
    The entire 8 mile downhill course consists of a grade of about 3 - 5%. I was envisioning total quad damage, shin splints, and other aches and pains. Fortunately, the night before I ran, I skipped ahead in the book and read the section about techiques for running down hill. To make a long story short, I ran the 8 mile course in 56:07 (not bad for age 51)and have experienced little, if any, residual aches and pains. These techniques really work! Chi Running is a highly effective program for running (not to mention a nice philosophy of life and living!). Sincerely, Dr. Tim Wittman, School Psychologist, NCSP.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Running Injury free - first time in years, Feb 19 2008
    By Paul Fisher (Barrie, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Chi Running: A Revolutionary Approach To Effortless Injury-Free Running (Paperback)
    When I started training for marathons I was continually injured with tight hamstrings, calves, and hip flexor tightness. I discovered that I had poor running form and started researching running techniques. I heard on Sirius Radio "The Fitness Guru" show about this book. After ordering it and reading it, I can say that it has revitalized my running. My trips to the chiropractor are down to maintenance once per month, from weekly appointments. I am running better, stronger, and injury free and after all, isn't that what we are all trying to do. Great book!!
