This workshop is for runners of all abilities: beginners who want to start off right, recreational runners, seasoned runners and triathletes who want to increase distance or speed, and runners who are tired of getting injured. The Chi Running technique emphasizes running form and draws from principles of Tai Chi to make running easier on the body by promoting energy efficiency and injury prevention. You will be guided through exercises and drills designed to leave you with a clear sense of what the Chi Running technique feels like in your body. You will learn and practice how to: develop, maintain, and body sense good posture and alignment and how to avoid over-using your legs. You will discover how engaging the power of your core and moving forward from your center together with alignment and relaxation help you reduce effort and increase speed. You’ll also learn focuses and unique tips and visualizations for efficient arm swing, cadence and more to help conserve energy, vary speed and avoid injury. We will not be doing lots of running, so no matter what condition you’re in, have no fear.
