Steady Edina Jan 2010 1:34pm, 20 Jan 2010 6,260 posts	Quote Pin Steady Edina I also watched the video blog about stopping heel striking as well. My shins were sore last night so must have been dorsi flexing I was trying to hold that image of MsM running in my head. I've been out again and did the same route in reverse in my flites I ran a lot slower and without the metronome it felt like harder work but no shin pain. I did keep dropping the focus t my feet to make sure they were under my COG.
MsM Jan 2010 1:54pm, 20 Jan 2010 2,390 posts	Quote Pin MsM That's great, SE, you managed to run without the dorsiflexing. Or at least with less of it. If it felt like harder work, maybe you could try to take the metronome again next time? Perhaps you let your cadence drop. But it's good work to practice like this!!

MsM Jan 2010 2:22pm, 20 Jan 2010 2,392 posts	Quote Pin MsM jamie, a metronome can help you increase your cadence, if that is necessary. Some people hate it, some people love it. It can be very calming, to run to a beat.... It is a great training help, I still use it sometimes, not to increase my cadence, but to make sure I accelerate with the proper technique when doing intervals on the track.
jamieayres Jan 2010 2:34pm, 20 Jan 2010 93 posts	Quote Pin jamieayres Hmm, so far my shopping list is looking like: 1. A Seiko DM50 Metronome 2. Some F-Lites 230 to try out 3. A Workshop session when i get some more transport next month. 4. A lot of patience
MsM Jan 2010 2:42pm, 20 Jan 2010 2,393 posts	Quote Pin MsM Yes, but it will give you: 1. A lot of fun practicing your new focuses 2. A lifetime of injury free running

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.
