Yes, I have, back in 2009. Very useful, you'll be surprised how much you pick up.

I saw a gait analyst just before Christmas, and it was he who recommended the book. He also suggested lots of exercises (which I have since found in the book) and video-ed me running (past him in both directions, towards him, and away from him). Picked out two things that might be contributing to the knee problem; I am working on these. He also recommended "Whole body barefoot" (Katy Bowman). Still considering this. Most of my shoes already have no more than a 4mm drop between heel and sole. |

I booked my chi running workshop on the entrycentral website. They seem to have various dates in different areas of the country.

My introduction was with Catherina McKiernan who came over to North Wales from Dublin. That got me started about 8 years ago. I had a refresher with Michelle in Twickenham about 4 years later. Then a lesson from a chap in Whitley Bay. Really nice bloke and very informative video. Always learning. |

I'm reading Danny Dreyer's book again and have been watching YouTube videos. Columba there's a link to good lesson in my last blog. I'm certain it's the way forward for me.

I had a day with Michelle almost five years ago and whilst I didn't completely buy in to the whole concept there were elements that did very much strike a chord and which I worked on adopting. I am now able to run quite high mileage and suffer very little in the way of injury, when something does start to niggle I now automatically focus on the foot lift ideas I learned that day and this normally allows me to continue without problem.

I'll be happy with 3 miles, - then I could at least do parkruns. High mileage would be good, though. |

I'll be happy with parkruns too. Wish there was a chi running teacher a bit nearer than Whitley Bay or London!
