Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

PN - Nike AST 10+. Much improved from my old Nike ASTs. Bought the new ones despite wanting Saucony/Asics as, with my orthotics in, I could not wear any of the other shoes. Now that I am weaned off my othotics I should have more choice. Not too dispirited though, ChiRunning instructors recommend sticking with current shoes and only changing support when you are ready for new shoes. The AST 10+ are less structured and next time I can go for a neutral shoe and then perhaps a Nike Free. Gradual progress.

CT -

Taoism, Tzu, Chi - All Chinese words. But as concepts - Tao and Chi are universal. *Whoops, careful, getting heavy* ;-)

Japanese equivalents are Do and Ki as in Aikido - literal translation: The way/path of joining/harmonising (Chi/Ki)energy

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Chi Running is a running technique which was developed by Danny Dreyer an ultra marathon runner who is a long time runner and student of T’ai Chi. The two main themes are energy efficiency and injury prevention. It combines the central movement principles of T’ai Chi with the sport of running to create a technique that shifts the workload toward your core muscles, allowing your leg muscles to work less. The results are increased efficiency and a significant reduction in injuries.
