Knee / Foot Alignment

2013-05-19T13:55:33Z

During my teenage years I realized that my feet turned out. My whole family have turned-out feet. When I realized that my feet turned out I taught myself to straighten them. So that works well for Chi Walking. Deal is that now my knees turn in slightly. So which should be straight? Knees or feet? For me it isn’t going to be both. Thank you.

Marathon after half marathon

2013-05-17T02:06:00Z

I posted this in the marathon forum but no one has answered—perhaps someone in this group has some insight?

I am currently using the 16 week half marathon program for a race May 26. First two weeks of July I’m going on a two week hike, the Tour du Mont Blanc, which will be 7-10 miles a day of ascents and descents, so I will need to break in my boots and train for that in June. I’m signed up for my first marathon October 6. I want to use the chi running training program, but when I return I’ll only have 12 weeks to train, not 20. Given how much I’ve been training, and that I will still be training, just working in hiking (only 2 weeks will be run-free 100% hiking) do you think it will be doable to start the marathon program midway through? What week would you suggest I begin on when I get back, and would you recommend skipping particular weeks to get back on schedule with long runs and speed work?

VO2 Max Test?

2013-05-17T01:04:52Z

Have any of you ever had a VO2 Max Test done? If so, did you train ahead of time for it and for how long? Any tips on preparing for this test would be appreciated. If there’s things you can do when not biking/running please let me know that, too. This is for a bicycle VO2, not a treadmill. That’s just how this particular facility does it.

Hip flexors

2013-05-08T15:24:52Z

When I do my distance run after about mile 3-4 My hip flexors/groin start to get sore. What form should I focus on to help with this?

cadence

2013-05-08T02:43:22Z

I have been using a metronome on every run and I am at 185 steps per minute which feels comfortable for me but the issue I have is my pace is pretty good at 9-9:30 min mile.Sometimes I want to go slower especially for longer runs but how do I do that with 185 steps per min?
should I be lowering the cadence a little?

thank you

tired back muscles

2013-05-05T22:12:40Z

I have been working at this program for a little over a month now, making steady progress until recently, when I started to notice that I was feeling exhausted after my runs. After some reflection, I have come to the conclusion that the muscles in my lower back (I think) are getting tired, and when they are tired, I am exhausted.

I have always had bad posture, and one of the things I like about chi running is that it is focussing me on addressing these issues. The fact that first I seemed to be making progress, but then I started having setbacks is not entirely surprising to me. Sometimes, when you have to train muscles, this can happen. What I would like to know is if there is something in this story that sounds like I may have a problem with my technique. I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has ideas!

WATER FILTER REVIEWS AND INFORMATION

2013-05-01T11:32:00Z

Filters can be reviewed based on different standards. Household systems are point of entry systems that rely on reverse osmosis, filters using chemical, and particulate techniques. All filters will provide some level of filtration and filters can be tailored to a household’s specific water quality issue.
It is important that when you shop for a filtration system, you also read household water filter reviews so you can get the right information past the ads.
Are you looking for more information regarding WATER FILTER REVIEWS AND INFORMATION.i have lots of information about it.
