Chi Running is a holistic approach to running that combines principles of Tai Chi with modern running techniques. It was developed by Danny Dreyer, a former competitive runner, and Tai Chi instructor. The technique emphasizes a relaxed, yet efficient running posture, with a focus on using the body's core and gravity to move forward. This helps to promote a more natural and efficient running style, reducing the impact on the joints and so reducing the risk of injury.
I find Chi Running is a unique and effective approach to running that helps my clients of all levels improve their form, reduce injury risk, and enhance their overall running experience. During my 3D coaching trajectory, I always implement a masterclass and practice teach Chi-running with my clients. Many of my clients who practice Chi Running reported enhanced mental clarity, increased mindfulness, and a deeper connection to their bodies and running experience.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced runner, incorporating the principles of Chi Running into the training will help you run better, safer, and more efficiently.
If you want to dive deeper into the matter, I can suggest Danny Dreyer’s book - Chi Running, a revolutionary approach to effortless injury-free running. Or just book a class.
