The book is a bit of a slog...but the ideas in Chi Running do make sense to me. That's partly because I have been taking a weekly Tai Chi class for abt a year. Also, since I really haven't run at all in, oh, 47 years or so, I haven't any old running habits to change or, for that matter, any running experience at all to compare Chi running to. The biggest thing I am trying to unlearn is, like many (most?) westerners, I am used to thinking of my arms and legs doing the work to carry my body along. Both Chi Running and Terry Laughlin's swim technique (and Tai Chi) emphasize moving from the core.

good luck healing up your foot!
