<!—s:D—>/images/smileys/grin.gif<!—s:D—>  I’m new to Chi running and loving it!  Any Chi runners in BC Canada?

I’m in Vancouver, and I have the ChiRunning book/CD, but haven’t had time to get to the guts of the technique.  I would love to run with someone who has the skills - where are you?

Yup - I am in Victoria- where are you and are you going to the Vancouver workshop?

Yes - if you check Chi website under workshops there is one scheduled for Sep 29 in Vancouver.

Looking forward to meeting Dick..

Turns out I’ll be there as well, assisting Dick. I shuffled my workshop around (we only had one “for sure” sign up) and am coming up Fri afternoon (9/28). Looking forward to meeting you (PR) and others in person!

That’s 9/28! Damn emoticons!

I’m a Chi Runner to be (taking the course in West Vancouver on Sept. 29th) and am hoping this running style will be able to give me that breakthrough I so desire. 

Anyone who wants to go running let me know. 

Is this method really as good as it sounds?  I can only average just over 10km/hour regardless of whether it’s 10 or 27 kms I’m running. There’s GOT to be a better way! <!—s:mrgreen:—>/images/smileys/mrgreen.gif<!—s:mrgreen:—>

FYI to anyone reading this who may have doubts as to the effectiveness of Chi Running, it is amazing stuff.  I went out after the course and broke my 4km time trial record by over a minute and that’s without having gotten the technique down even remotely close to proper.

I’m coming a bit late to this thread but I’m moving to Vancouver this month, living on the west side.  I started chirunning late in the spring but haven’t followed through with it much since I’ve been on the road these past 6 weeks, and I’d love to get back into it again with a partner or group.  I still run slow.  <!—s:-)—>/images/smileys/smile.gif<!—s:-)—>  Contact me if you’re interested!

Surrey, BC here. I took my course with Angela James and highly recommend it. <!—s:D—>/images/smileys/grin.gif<!—s:D—>
