ChiRunning Anyone?

[HeatherErin]

HeatherErin, who are you using for a coach? Is it from a gym or other? Just curious because I wouldn't have any idea how to look for one and I've been thinking about it lately.

I found Laura Houston (lsh@drixxle.com) through the ChiRunning website. She's a certified instructor and she teaches both group workshops and private lessons. For the private lessons she's pretty flexible about where she can meet up with you.

Thanks

I ordered the book. I keep picturing it like cartoon running though!!! I'll look into a coach because I need to get on this running stuff ASAP. The book/video has some great reviews!

I found ChiRunning recently and looked to see if it had been discussed here. Looks like it's been a few years, anyone have any updates?

I like all the similarities between ChiRunning and Total Immersion swimming. I do Total Immersion on Mondays and Wednesday and I'll start ChiRunning on Tuesdays and Fridays. Thursday is spin class. I'm up to Lesson 4 in Total Immersion.

The dvds are so expensive! I wish there were a few videos on the website. And some less expensive dvds. I mean $40 for a dvd?

Chi Running changed my life. Literally. I was running once a week for maybe three miles and getting pounded so hard my shoulders would ache; I couldn't run on pavement at all. Two road marathons later, I'm contemplating the Level II Chi Running workshop in February. Time to drop some hints to Santa Claus, I think.

Of course in Kirksville, MO there are no Chi Running instructors. I wonder if we could get one out here to do a workshop. There is actually an avid running community, both here and in Columbia which is a bit bigger and close enough (90 miles) to be feasible.
