Great book for the returning runner

In high school I loved running cross country and track until I had to stop due to knee surgeries starting the end of my sophomore year. It took more than ten years to start running again. Thanks to chi running I will be able to continue running pain free and injury free using this method of running and learning to listen to what my body is telling me. The principles in this book are not exclusive to running and can be used in every aspect of your life to find balance.

Disappointed

I bought this audio book and for the first 50 minutes, the author explains why this is such a great running technique. It's only a 3 hour and 45 minute book and 1/4 of it was fluff. Fortunately, I received the written book as a download or I would have returned it.

Meh

Basically just a guided walk through of running form with a guy who is trying to be zen. I read or listen to an running book every year and this ranks among the lowest of take away info

game changer

I really enjoy his explanations of positions and focuses that were never taught to me anywhere else! Great book- I suggest it to people at least on a weekly basis

Excellent

This booked helped me a lot. It gave me insight to help me with my marathon training and I still use the principles today.

Great book!!

If you want to become a better run, this book will change your whole outlook on running and teach the way we were meant to run!!

Excellent Tutorial On Chi Running

Would you consider the audio edition of Chi Running to be better than the print version?

Not as complete as the book, but for the information covered it is better than the book. What makes it better is that Danny is in your ear guiding you through the fundamentals.

What does Danny Dreyer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Emphasis and perspective

What did you learn from Chi Running that you would use in your daily life?

How to improve posture...

Any additional comments?

This book is an indispensable adjunct to the book and DVD. I have attended both the Level One and Level Two workshops conducted by Danny... This

Very informative and practical

Learned a lot! I am a physical therapist that practices Pilates based rehab. The information presented makes sense. I am looking forward to using principles of Chi running to my practice and to my personal running experience!

Best running book I've ever read/heard

I bought this book on a whim after once again hurting myself prepping for an obstacle course race. The only damage to train through my injury but I managed to improve my running pace altogether. I am a personal trainer who owns a studio in at the time was training 25 other people for the obstacle course race. Inc. the Chi running skills into the coaching. We had six of our runners place in the top 10 of their age category. To second-place finishes and won first place out of those groups as well. The concept of this book had a lot to do with their performance. This running technique is amazing and I genuinely wish I would've found it when I started training 18 years ago.

Must read for anyone looking to prevent injury

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was loaned to me by my chiropractor and I decided to buy it outright so that I would always have it as part of my library. It is one of those books you will want to revisit many times to ensure proper form not just in running, but also in life.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Chi Running?

There are multiple exercises and form checking tasks in the book that will help you navigate life the pain associated with running, walking, relating. This smashes the old adage, "no pain, no gain" with a common sense approach to posture.
