Comments:
Excellent
book on running technique
I read many books about running and this is the first I have chi
exercise tai encountered that chi exercise
tai seriously discusses running posture / style and the biomechanics
of running from a practical viewpoint. Don't be scared by the title
"Chi Running" - there is nothing supernatural about these
techniques - in fact it is as natural as it can be! chi
exercise tai However, we need to re-learn HOW to run (like
we did when we were kids!) - in an effortless way, free of injuries.
Danny Dreyer guides you through a system where you use the core
(and core muscles) in a more effective way through a forward body
lean. The idea of effective body movement through the use of core
muscles is also found in Terry Laughlin: "Total immersion"
- a guide on swimming.
I won't go into more detail here - I will leave that to the author
of "Chi Running"!
The book is filled with additional information on running, but
the instruction on the running posture is what makes it so special
and worth studying. I try to put the instructions into practise,
step by step, and I feel it's working. My speed has improved and
I am much more aware of keeping a proper technique through the races,
which makes running long distances more enjoyable.
The instructor in my gym (professional sport instructor) borrowed
the book and started running again after a long break - now he is
free from previous injuries that prevented him from running.
For those of us who don't have a Chi-running instructor nearby,
the video instruction is necessary. It should be included with the
book.
