ChiRunning

Creating the conditions for energy flow

ChiRunning practice helps you focus your mind, lift your spirit and open up your flow of Chi. It combines the inner focus and flow of T'ai Chi with the power and energy of running, creating a revolutionary running form and philosophy that takes the pounding, pain, and potential damage out of this sport. It increases mental clarity and focus, enhances the joy of running, and turns it into a safe and effective lifelong program for health, fitness, and well being.

This program will include:

• The keys to effortless injury-free running
• The physics of running without using your legs
• Chirunning versus power running
• Introduction to the Chirunning form
• Injury prevention techniques
• Personal check-in tricks and tools
• Learning to use your gears
• Core muscle drills and exercises
• Pre-run body looseners
• Innovative technique drills
• Learn to run with ease up and down hills
• How to conserve energy at any speed
• Learn more about ChiRunning and your leader Donna Spencer at www.natural-pace.ca.
  

Format: ChiRunning can help you recapture the effortless nature of running. Developed by ultramarathoner Danny Dreyer, it is focused on how you run rather than simply the results of your running: it is more process-oriented than goal-oriented. Bring running gear and layered clothing (expect to be outside).
