    In a few words, the fundamentals are good posture - keeping your whole spine and pelvis in alignment and leveling the pelvis after every step - leaning from the ankles to let gravity help you move forward - landing with your foot slightly behind your center of gravity, never in front, preferably with a midfoot strike - rotating your pelvis to lengthen your stride behind you while keeping your upper body facing forward - and keeping your cadence at least 85 rpm. It's a lot of practice and body awareness, and there are a lot of details.

    They want to sell books, DVDs and workshops, naturally, so there's not a single place you can go on chirunning.com to get it all, but you can get the idea by poking around the website. The book has great information (although my personal learning style is that it's really hard for me to learn physical skills from a book, so I've done two workshops, which are terrific if it's in your budget).
