Hi, Is anyone out there interested in a Chi running training partner from the Columbus, OH area?

Cathy S,
Hi . my name is Michael and I live in Athens, 1 1/2 hours from Columbus .If you don’t find anyone in the city to run with I would be interested in at least getting together once . I’d love to get some feedback on my form and share my interest in this chirunning stuff. I’m a new runner (not 2 years yet) age 52, and have been trying this chi stuff by myself for about a year It would be nice to share Thanx.

Hello, I also am from here in SE ohio, and work in athens. Maybe we could get together a time or two and see if we can be of any help to each other. I am 45 and also started running again last year, and have only been trying the chi running a couple of weeks.

Hi..I’m going to a week long training workshop with Danny Dreyer at Omega Institute in NY Aug 3-8.  ChiRunning is new to me but I’m getting the book this week and feel it’s going to be a life long transition for this ultra trail runner.  I live near Buckeye Lake which is about an hour from fabulous Hocking Hills trial runs but work in Columbus so run the bike trails a lot too.  Maybe we can all hook up somehow, although I know that there’s barely time to get long runs in, let alone add driving time.  Let me know what any of you think.  Glad to find others in the area that are already on to this new technique to me.

Just got back from workshop with Danny Dreyer….doing chirunning 100% but live in Buckeye Lake area.  Maybe we can connect…

Anybody in Columbus, Ohio interested in getting together to talk/run?

I live on the Northwest side and have been training with MIT (marathoner in training) for the Cap City Half (2012). I did the Columbus Half last October (2011) and hope to train for the Columbus full in the fall (2012). I took a half-day chirunning course with Doug Dapo in 2010 and have been practicing the techniques, but I find it difficult without some type of reminders to keep the techniques going. I took one of Doug’s little refresher morning courses which was very helpful, but I wondered if anyone else in Columbus wanted to do something to refocus every once in awhile.
