Chi Discussion Forum

Hi everyone,

I’ve just tabbed all the focuses and exercises in the book, it now looks very colourful!!  But there are too many tabs for easy reference.  In this digital age with a lot of people using smart-phones etc.., wouldn’t it be great if a good app developer would work with Danny to create an iPhone/Droid chi running app? 

It would be fantastic to bring the book, DVD/videos, training programmes, and training logs together in one location for easy reference anywhere you need it.

It would also be great if the Chi Running app could track pace/distance etc.. using the GPS functionality of smart-phones.

I know its a big ask - but with all the people using smart-phones now it must make good business sense?

Just my tuppence-worth!

This is a good idea.

To plug an app I’m a HUGE fan of: I’ve been using RunKeeper to track my data since day one, about six months ago. It’s spectacular. GPS track logging and pace calculation, mileage charts etc on their website, etc etc. The new version of their site currently in beta will have all sorts of charts and graphs and analysis. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

This app would be espectacular, specially for metronome substitution, form reminders, as well as all fuctionality of previous running aplications…! Come on!

I was at a workshop with Danny Dreyer in Southern California last weekend, and you’ll be happy to know that he did mention that an app is currently in the works. It will be out for the iPhone first, then the other smartphones. I don’t believe he knew exactly when it would be available, but it sounded like he was in the process of approving the test version. I believe I remember him saying the app would include the key focuses (foci?) for easy reference. I’m not sure about some of the other features.
